Di Miceli Dog Care
Pet care experience
Hello my name is Lindsay. I live in a two bedroom apartment with my husband, Mario and our maincoon cat (who thinks he's a dog), Bear. We have a nice big open field right next door and a lot of nice areas to bring dogs to walk. We both adore all animals and are dying to get a dog of our own soon! Until we do, we would love to take care of yours for you! We are good with any size and any breed. I have had all types of pets my entire life and have been taking care of friends dogs for as long I can remember. My mom owned her own pet care service and I learned a lot as a child from helping her. I have experience with dogs as small as chihuahuas and as large as great danes. My most recent client owns four pit bulls; one of which is not good with strangers and we get along great. I also used to have two rottweilers of my own, so you know I am not afraid of the stereotypical "agressive" dog. My husband owns his own Custom Apparel business and I am an X-ray Tech. I work Monday-Friday 3p-7p and every other weekend 8a-5p. Mario can be home anytime if need be. We will play with your dog (or dogs) all day long, take them for walks, make sure they are well fed and with clean water, probably take a million pictures with them, and care for them as if they were our own! We are very flexible and will gladly take on any special task or routine you have for your pet. You will no doubt be able to trust us with your baby and after meeting us you will know your dog is in great hands!

Overall, I would rate Lindsay as a good pet-sitter. Prior to our vacation, she was very timely in responding to my messages and she also modified the Rover.com charges to a very reasonable rate for her visits with our 2 cats. It was while we were gone that I felt she fell short. My first issue was with her inconsistency in providing updates on the visits - there was a photo and thorough recap on the 1st day, but on subsequent days there was less detail and on one day there was no update at all. My second issue was with the timing of her visits. I had made it very clear that it was important to check in during the early afternoon, but at least twice she didn't visit until the evening. My third issue was with attention to detail - I had left very specific notes about the cats' food/water/litter and it didn't seem that she had followed them. Lastly, my greatest concern was with the well-being of our female cat and her being bullied by the male cat in our absence. We came back to find that she had a facial injury and had urinated in a chair out of fear. All-in-all our pets were reasonably cared for, but I was definitely disappointed. Lindsay is a very nice girl and I'm sure she had the best intentions. I think the issues may have been due to lack of experience or perhaps I wasn't clear enough on stressing the importance of certain things. (To those reading this review, please note that I have very high expectations for the care of my pets and I think Lindsay is absolutely capable of meeting the needs of a less demanding client.)
