Safety, trust & environment

My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines. I pay close attention during walks and always make sure pets are secure and supervised. I understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s pet, so I communicate clearly, send updates when requested, and make sure every animal gets patient and loving care.

Information Maria O. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I think it’s important to know their routine, personality, dietary needs, medications, allergies, favorite activities, and how they act around other people or animals so I can give them the best care possible.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch includes walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I love keeping pets active and happy by playing fetch, going on walks, giving lots of attention, and matching each pet’s energy level and personality.

Caring & Responsible Animal Lover W

Pet care experience

Hi, I go by Mikki and I’ve cared for dogs for several years and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, administering basic medications, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable caring for senior (as I just recently lost a 13yr old yorkie), and energetic puppies who need extra attention and patience. I always treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of love, care, and affection.

Mikki is an amazing pet caregiver who is responsible, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. She always makes pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving them lots of love and attention. She is reliable, communicative, and takes pet care seriously, which makes her someone pet owners can fully trust with their furry family members.

Mikki is very dependable and has a natural connection with animals. She is gentle, loving, and pays close attention to every pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving pets comfort and attention, she always makes sure they are happy and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her with my pets anytime.

Mikki is an incredibly caring, responsible, and trustworthy person who truly loves animals. She is patient, attentive, and always makes sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Anyone would be lucky to have Mikki care for their pets because she treats every animal like family and always goes above and beyond to give them the best care possible.
