Pet care experience
Hi! Bobby and I are attentive and compassionate dog lovers and dog sitters in our 30s. I’m a writer and Bobby is a photographer/videographer, so together we are great at providing photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while under our care. Our lives basically revolve around our own dog’s happiness. We love taking Ollie on walks and would love to spend long weekends with yours, giving him/her ample outdoor time, play time, and cuddles! One of our favorite things is seeing the happy, open-mouthed smiles dogs get when they’re running around and having a great time. We keep a very dog-friendly home and both have experience watching and caring for large and small dogs alike, ensuring they don’t get into too much trouble, going on (safe) adventures, and are happy to have them roam all over our apartment (and bed and furniture) and backyard. As for our own pup, Ollie girl is a small dog with so much love for other dogs of all sizes and personalities. She is not at all aggressive or possessive of food or toys and is so happy to share. And so are are we! We look forward to caring for your dog! Thank you!
Reviews
Mika is one of the most caring people I know! She is 100% reliable and thoughtful. She has a very calm demeanor but a super healthy dose of urgency at a moment's notice. My picky and anxious dog has always been very comfortable around her, and Mika has never been in any way taken aback by my dog's quirks; she actually always found them endearing. I don't trust many people at all, but I trust Mika with the irreplaceable things in my life, all living, one being my old and sassy dog.
Mika is absolutely wonderful with dogs. I have known Mika for almost 20 years and she is a very caring and responsible. Mika loves her dog Ollie and I know she would tend to my pets as her own. I would highly recommend Mika as a dog walker and sitter, I wished she lived closer to me and took take advantage of her Rover services!
I am incredibly fortunate to say Mika has been my dear friend for 20 years. She is a kind and compassionate person. Mika has a precious pup of her own, and she would show every dog in her care the same love and attention.
They say people come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. For me, she came into my life for a season (during graduate school) and seven years later remains a dear friend and will for a lifetime. Mika is an incredibly caring, generous, responsible individual with a friendly demeanor and a heart of gold. She treats her own dog like royalty, so expect nothing less when she is watching yours. Hands down, she would make a paw-fect sitter/walker!

Information Michelle "Mika" & Bobby R. would like to know about your pet
We’d love to know what activities your dog likes to make his/her stay better, and if he/she is happy being around another pet at home so we can accommodate your dog's needs. If there are commands your dog knows, that would be so helpful. If there are behaviors or signs for us to keep an eye out for (e.g., when he/she is not happy with another dog or person and we should separate them), that also would be great to know. We do not have any breed preferences at all. Thank you!
A typical day
We recently moved to the Castro and would love to go to the Diamond Park dog park, Corona Heights Park and the dog run (if your dog is ok to bring to dog parks), Duboce Park, and Mission Dolores Park. In the evening, we also love letting dogs run around our backyard. We also really enjoy taking day trips to the beach in our trust Westalia van. Evening cuddles and relaxing moments are also a favorite.
