Safety, trust & environment

Many pets experience stress in traditional boarding environments. My in-home visits allow your pet to remain in the comfort of their familiar surroundings while receiving personalized attention, enrichment, exercise, and compassionate care.

Information Micki D. would like to know about your pet

I specialize in reactive, anxious, rescue, senior, and medically complex pets who do best at home. I can successfully care for the pets other sitters are uncomfortable handling.

A typical day

My visits with your pet are filled with activities that keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I use reward-based, positive reinforcement techniques that build trust and confidence while keeping interactions enjoyable and stress-free. You'll receive reliable communication, detailed updates, and photos after every visit, so you can relax knowing your pet is receiving the same compassion, attention, and care I would give my own.

Pet care experience

20 Years of Fear-Free, Specialized Pet Care - Leaving your pet with someone new isn't easy — especially if they're anxious, reactive, senior, or managing a medical condition. I get it, and it's exactly who I specialize in. - With 20 years of experience across rescue, boarding, and training environments, I provide calm, patient, in-home care for pets who do best without the stress of a kennel or unfamiliar environment. I use fear-free, positive techniques to help every pet feel safe and understood — not just managed. - I'm comfortable administering oral and injected medications, working with dogs and cats who need extra patience, and adapting each visit to your pet's specific routine and personality. You'll get photo updates and a detailed summary after every visit, so you always know how your pet is doing. - Your pet isn't "just a job" for a day — they deserve someone who understands them. Let's set up a meet & greet so I can learn what makes your pet unique. - Specialties: - Reactive, anxious & rescue dogs - Senior & special-needs pets - Oral & injectable medication administration - Fear-free, positive handling techniques - Cats and dogs

Micki cares about my cats' well being and is attentive to their needs and to their environment. When I return home, I know that they have received a lot of love.

Micki did house sitting for our two big Akitas, one is a rescue and has some special needs. She was great with them - didn’t seem like they missed us at all (which is unusual). We already have her booked for several nights in about a month. She is a great find! Jim K.

Micki is the absolute best! My nervous system is relaxed when I am traveling, knowing how well she cares for my animals. Her attention to detail is old school goodness, and very much appreciated.

Micki was efficient and good at communication. She made contact with my cats and reported to me in a timely manner.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
