Initial Consultation: Before the pet owner leaves, I arrange a meeting to get acquainted with the dog and discuss their routine, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions or concerns the owner might have. Establish Routine: Dogs thrive on routine, so I maintain consistency with feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest periods to ensure they feel secure and settled. Exercise and Play: Regular exercise is vital for a dog's physical and mental well-being. I schedule daily walks, engaging games, and interactive toys to keep them active and entertained. Nutritious Meals: Following the owner's guidelines, I provide balanced and timely meals, ensuring the dog receives proper nutrition. I also monitor their water intake to keep them hydrated. Safe Environment: I dog-proof the indoor and outdoor areas to prevent accidents or injuries. Hazardous items are kept out of reach, and I supervise the dog closely, especially if they're exploring new surroundings.

Loving Care for your Best Companion

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been around pets my entire life. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I've been dog sitting for ten years. During that time, I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, overnight stays, and extended care for a week or longer while families are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're gone. Whether your dog needs an energetic walking buddy, a dependable sitter for a quick check-in, or someone to provide attentive care during a longer vacation, you can count on me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Mica watched my Border Collie for a full week, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly got plenty of attention and exercise. I would absolutely trust Mica to watch my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.

Hello, Mica has experience with taking care of several dogs whether it be a few hours or days! Same people usually would like her back and love how much attention she gives their pets. She also has a dog who she spoils and loves so much! She is currently finishing her college degree and always worked and proved to take on a lot of responsibilities including her hobbies. Without a doubt she would be an excellent person to care for your pet.
