Mic's Pet Sitting Duo

Pet care experience

There are a number of VERY IMPORTANT reasons why you should choose us to look after your Awesome Pets! Mic & Peter have recently moved back to Texas after living overseas for a few years, and we have made Waxahachie our new home! Over the many years we have been married, we have looked after dogs and cats, young and old, plus parrots, finches, canaries, ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, lizards, chameleons, salt water aquariums, donkeys, and monkeys. And we loved them all and are happy to look after all of these animals and more, for you! We hired pet sitters ourselves when we had busy executive careers, so have learned what works and what doesn't from the customer's perspective ... We don't treat cats like dogs, or vice versa. We understand how important companionship and play is for both cats and dogs, and of-course those walks for your dogs. Our visits are not just checking a box and moving on to the next place. Each visit is conducted in a deeply thoughtful, custom, caring manner. Because we are essentially retired now, working together as a team, we have lots of flexibility to devote the time and attention your loved pets deserve - and will take care of your home and property with care and respect. And it's important to note that there are two of us - so we will have at least double the available time of other sitters. But more likely much more than that as we have no work commitments and are willing to work 7 days a week morning to night. AND, because there are two of us, your pets will get double the attention! Makes the world of difference - while one of us is working on the food, the other one can be playing or brushing. ;-) You will find us super easy to work with, dependable, and trustworthy. With age comes wisdom and also much less partying...! Also, Peter is fluent in German.

Great experience with Mic and Muffin!! I completely trust them with my cats. Mic and Peter are very friendly and care but our pets as their own.

We absolutely loved working with the Awesome Pet Sitting Duo! We have two Boston Terriers and they now have a pair of new best friends. Peter & Mic were extremely responsive and made sure our little guys were well looked after and loved. Both of our pups require receiving medicine with their meals at night and Peter & Mic made sure that happened every night. They also sent us photos of our pups every day which was lovely. We'll definitely be working with them again!

Mic is amazing with our pets! She is very reliable and you can count on her to take care of your loved ones. You can tell she knows how to take care of pets and will treat them like family. My pets fell in love with her and I would highly recommend her!

We live with our two cats, whom we thoroughly love and enjoy, so cannot take any of your furry friends into our home. But would be happy to make multiple playfull visits to your home, take your dogs on long walks in your neighborhood, and of-course we also offer house sitting services.

Information Mic & Peter V. would like to know about your pet

Prior to the first sitting we will need to understand any special needs that your furry friends may have - covering nutrition, medications, games, quirks, habits, as well as do's and don'ts. I would also like to know about your dogs behavioral issues - are they aggressive, how they react to strangers, what triggers them, what abnormal behavior have you noticed, and what is their normal routine. For cats we will need to also discuss indoor and outdoor boundaries, especially if they tend to be escape artists. For both cats and dogs we would like to tour, with our customers, the areas they are allowed to access to ensure we are aware of any doors that must be kept closed at all times, or only closed when we leave the house.

A typical day

We love to thoroughly stimulate and entertain our customer's furry friends. That means playing with balls, ropes, frisbees or any other toys they enjoy. We have some special toys that cats especially enjoy, like the red light laser dots they love chasing. We also play interactive games where we hide their toys and help them locate them. If you like us to give them some treats in addition to their normal food we can recommend some treat puzzles we would be happy to load for them. Walking the dog we will be happy to do in your neighborhood and will vary the pace according to their needs. It is also important that your dog is properly trained to walk on a leash before we can accept the booking. We prefer that the our Dog Walks and Drop-In visits end by 8;30 pm. We will do our best to accommodate yours and your pets needs.

We are basically retired so will be super flexible to accommodate your needs. We do sometimes visit our son in Austin and will typically be away for a couple of days a month. But with enough notice we can schedule those around your pet and house sitting commitments. There are two of us, so we should have plenty of time available to look after your furry friends! Due to the nature of our business, that we are looking after your furry friends, we have chosen to be open 24 hours, 7 days a week. That means we can be contacted by phone at anytime, but ask to be called only in the case of an emergency between 9:30 PM and 7AM. We will respond to messages quickly during the day, but those sent during the night we will respond the following morning. We provide our Pet sitting Services to the following areas: Waxahachie, Pecan Hill, Rockett, Midlothian, Ovilla, Oak Leaf, Red Oak, Maypearl
