Information Mary kay "Miki" P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pup has any special needs or behavioral issues, such as aggression or bite history, that I should be aware of. All dogs are required to have current vaccinations. Please sent proof of vaccines one hour after booking or risk having the booking canceled. No exceptions.

A typical day

This depends on the energy of the dog. I do offer enrichment during the day, this could mean a dog pool filled with ice cubes, playing fetch, or food puzzles. I also offer add-ons for such as walks and visits to dog parks at a low cost.

VIPaws-Care You Can Trust

Pet care experience

While you're away, your pup gets to play! I offer in-home dog sitting with a large, secure backyard, daily adventures, and plenty of love and attention. You'll get adorable photo updates so you can see your pup living their best life. Your dog gets more than just a sitter — they get a second home. My base overnight pet sitting experience includes: room service with up to 3 meals per day, administration of up 5 oral medications, 24 hour indoor / outdoor access, daily enrichment - this can be a splash pool or peanut butter kong. Pet sitting add can include: one hour dog walk an off leash dog park adventure. Please ask about add on prices. Stand alone dog walking: At this time, I am happy to announce that I do adventure walks. An adventure walk is a hike either to Point Isabelle or to Oyster Bay in Hayward, depending on which is closer. These adventures happen with a long lead up to 12 feet long or off leash. Off-leash is only available for dogs with perfect recall for their non-primary owners. Depending on the condition of your dog, these adventures can last one to two hours. Transportation costs are included in my pricing.

Miki is fantastic and super sweet. She clearly took great care of Leo and sent some awesome pics of their adventures. I would definitely recommend having her watch your creature.

I couldn’t be happier with the care Koko received from Miki. She helped me to pickup my rescue dog from the shelter. The situation it’s very difficult for me when I am living out of state. It was very clear how kind, responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while waiting for someone transport Koko back to AZ. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust completely. Highly highly recommend!

Mary kay has helped take care of my pup Roger when i'm out of town. She'll bring him out to a dog park and let him run around. She follows instructions that I have for the care of Roger as well. Thank you!

Miki has house sat and walked my dogs several times now. She is a kind person who truly cares about the animals entrusted to her. My dogs like her very much and look forward to her visits. She has good training skills and knows how to handle my 90 pound husky mix.
