About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, and adopted a pug of my own 12 years ago, so I understand what an important part of the family pets are. I’ve watched dogs from 2 months to 14 years old, from an overweight chihuahua to an old Great Dane. Currently I have a labradoodle and French bulldog that I’ve raised since they were puppies. Currently working from home, so I have time to pop in and check on your pups, or dog sit on the weekends if you need. I will treat your pets like my own - walking them, administering medications, feeding them, whatever is needed. Happy to help take care of your pets.

“Finding Midori to help with my dogs while I took a trip was truly a blessing. I work from home and never leave my dogs so they have separation anxiety usually. I got videos from Midori showing how excited they were to see her every day that I was away. Lots of updates and communication which was greatly appreciated. She did a great job tiring them out and I’ll be trusting her in the future for my future trips and sitter needs!”


About: I am a professional psychotherapist who works for myself. Caring for animals and others’ homes provides me a sense of connection to my community and is a way to help others—I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family at home and it’s something I know I do well. I have two pets myself—a caring and sensitive Australian Shepherd named John Prine Jr (who is training to be a therapy dog!) and a sassy and silly tortoise cat named Bonnie Raitt. I kept rabbits for 15 years and had and loved other dogs and cats that are no longer with us. I’m a responsible, experienced house sitter with plenty of experience caring for humans and animals. I’m communicative, caring, and work to be attuned to your home and pet care needs; I am comfortable with any number of tasks that pet-owning and pet-sitting involves. Specialities include rabbits (including medicine administration), as well as caring for elder and aging pets. I work for myself and remotely—I make sure my day has the needed flexibility to meet your pets’ needs. I have scheduled my own work schedule to meet the needs of my own furry family. I have excellent references and folks I’ve known for years whose pets and homes I’ve cared for. I follow directions well, ask clarifying questions if I need help, and am happy to assist if I can.

Jeffrey M.
“I highly recommend Jeffrey as a dog sitter on Rover. He has many years of experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and his passion for animals is immediately clear to anyone who knows him. Jeffrey is currently the proud owner of a lovable Labradoodle and a playful French Bulldog, both of whom are incredibly well cared for and happy. He goes above and beyond to ensure their physical and emotional needs are met—whether that means long walks, playtime, grooming, or simply offering a calm, loving presence. In addition to being responsible and attentive, Jeffrey has a natural connection with animals. Dogs gravitate toward him, and he’s quick to notice and respond to their needs. His home is a safe, clean, and welcoming environment, and he always prioritizes the well-being of the dogs in his care. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and truly dedicated to dogs, Jeffrey would be an excellent choice.”
