Highlights
Pet care experience
from chickens to chihuahuas ❤️
Dogs have been at the center of my life since childhood, and I’ve developed a deep understanding of their behavior, energy, and emotional needs. As a natural dog whisperer and experienced dog owner, I know how to quickly build trust and create a calm, balanced environment—whether I’m caring for a high-energy pup, a senior with special needs, or a rescue learning to feel safe. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I always tailor my care to match their personality and routine. From long walks to playtime, snuggles, and consistent structure, your dog will feel loved, seen, and totally at home with me.

Ratings and reviews
Lani was so patient with our shy cats! She was great and won their trust.
Lani is punctual, flexible, reliable, and very friendly. The dogs loved her instantly and they always came back well-exercised and perfectly tired. I'll be more than happy to have her house sit or walk our dogs again. I can't recommend her enough!
Lani was terrific and managed a dog on a new medication and my changing needs and schedule. It was an upsetting time for me and her calm and supportive responses were very reassuring. I came home to a happy dog and a clean house. I recommend Lani completely.
Lani took good care of our two small dogs. They were fed well and walked even though there were blazing hot temperatures all week. The only drawback was one of the dogs urinated on our wood floor and it was left over night and has stained the floor.
Lani house sat and looked after our two dogs in our home for 3 weeks while we travelled. She was an amazing pet sitter and cared deeply for our dogs. They got two walks a day and lots of love and attention. Lani was very responsible and respectful of our home. Her communication was excellent and we always felt connected. My husband and I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.
Lani Michelle stayed in my home to take care of my dogs and my home last year for just over one month. She was fabulous and my dogs adore her. She not only lovingly cared for my dogs (3 chihuahuas, one of which needs daily medication) but also cared for my home and paid staff and took care of some small repairs. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her trustworthy level is far above anyone else I have ever used. I would use her again in a heartbeat. She made my travels carefree knowing she was taking care of everything. Feel free to contact me if you need further information.

Schedule
I am open to long stays and short visits. I recently moved to the DC area and am an avid fan of walking with dogs and also special moments with cats.
