Pet care experience

I want to hang out with your dog!

I work from home most days of the week, so your dog or cat would have a buddy throughout the day! I have experience with all breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs. My own dog takes medications and so I am very familiar with giving medications and watching for any medical distress. I have one cat, so dogs must be good with cats/small animals. My dog, Pippin, loves to play and we go on multiple off leash walks throughout the day. I love animals and will love your pets like they are mine! My dog, Pippin, has separation anxiety so I understand how to comfort and care for dogs that get a little nervous without their owner. I worked in a veterinary clinic with dogs and cat. I am comfortable handling dogs of all sorts of sizes and ages and am relaxed and intuitive in possible stressful situations. I am very gentle with animals and believe positive reinforcement is the way to go to get the best results and to form a fun and trusting relationship. I am active and would love to take your high energy dogs out for a long run or hike in the area. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

Mimi was wonderful and communicative. Her sweet pup Pip and my dog had a great time together.

We used Mimi to stay at our house and care for our two dogs and one cat. She brought her sweet, well-behaved dog with her and she did a great job! She sent lots of pics, proactively communicated and was also quick to respond to us. We'll definitely use her again!

Mimi was great! Very responsive and punctual. She took my 4 month old puppy on adventures in the evening, and he returned happy and ready for bed. I completely trusted her to take great care of him.

Panda had a great time with Katherine! We would definitely board him here again. She kept us updated and sent plenty of pics. Panda was exhausted after a fun weekend!

I am happy to accommodate special circumstances and behaviors. I have experience with diabetic and epileptic dogs so understand how to administer medication and to watch for warning signs.
