Pet care experience

I’ve spent the past 24 years caring for dogs, not just as a pet owner, but as someone who truly loves and understands them. I’ve raised my own dogs and also fostered a variety of breeds, gaining hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs including post-operative care and female dogs in heat. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs and personality. My goal is not only to keep your dog safe and well cared for, but also to make sure they feel happy, relaxed, and part of a loving environment while they’re here. At home, I have a friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Oreo who gets along wonderfully with guest dogs. I also regularly care for friends’ dogs when they’re out of town, so I’m very used to managing multiple dogs in a calm and structured way. As a stay-at-home mom, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pup. Our home is almost always occupied—my husband works from home as well—so your dog will have nearly 24/7 companionship and supervision. We have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also love sharing updates and photos, so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I truly hope every dog who stays with us not only feels comfortable and well cared for, but also has fun, makes new dog friends, and enjoys their time here like a second home.

We love Mickey and I highly recommend her to watch your loved pets. left my senior 14lb dog with Mickey for 17 nights recently. My dog is my life, he has been abused badly in his previous house and he’s extremely bonded to me. I am very, very picky about who watches him. The friends who watch him when we travel were unavailable and so I had to look for someone new. I loved Mickey’s calm energy at our meet and greet. I could tell she is a kind hearted person and she genuinely cares for dogs. I was nervous as this is my first time using Rover. But Mickey put my mind at ease. She sent me photos and videos every day. My heart was peaceful knowing my dog was safe and well cared for. I will only use her to watch my dog going forward! Thank you Mickey!

We are so grateful for Mickey for taking good care of our girls, Penny & Lily, for the day. She was consistently updating us all day with pictures.

She is an amazing dog sitter. She took great care of my little buddy and slowly introduced him to other dogs to play with and he came home happy and exhausted after 3 days. She is by far the best review dog sitter in the area so she barely needs my review but she is really impressive and it's worth saying and celebrating.

Mickey was wonderful with Zetta and Yotta! She cared for them for two weeks while I was on vacation, kept me updated with frequent photos and videos, and was diligent with all of their medications. They came back healthy and happy — you can tell she genuinely cares. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!
