Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pets

Hi there! My husband and I are lifelong animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I had my beloved pug for 17 wonderful years, and during his senior years, I cared for him closely — including when he could no longer walk — so I understand the special attention older pets need. My husband also grew up with two dogs and a cat, and together we’ve cared for friends’ pets many times over the years. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or special care for senior pets, we always make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable — just like part of the family. We’d love to give your furry friend the same care and affection we gave our own. ❤️

We had a Chihuahua that Michiyo used to pet sit whenever we went away on holidays. Our pup was always so happy staying with her! Michiyo would send us photo updates and take her on walks a few times throughout the day. I always felt completely at ease traveling, knowing our Chihuahua was in such good hands. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Michiyo as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has a genuine passion for caring for animals and treats every pet with kindness and attention. Her dedication is evident in the way she cared for her beloved pug, who lived a long and happy 17 years under her care. Any pet would be lucky to have Michiyo looking after them.

Schedule

I work from home most of the time, and my husband also works full-time remotely. We additionally have a live-in part-time sitter for our children. Because of this, someone is almost always home and available for walks throughout the day.

I’d love to know your pet’s daily routine, energy level, feeding schedule, potty habits, and any special needs. Please also share behavioral notes (shy, anxious, reactive, etc.), medications, and what helps them relax or feel safe. The more I know, the better I can make their stay comfortable.
