Highlights
Pet care experience
20 yrs experience of fear free care
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

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.
Ratings and reviews
Micki is professional, friendly and caring about our pet. We will definitely use her services again. I highly recommend.
Great communication and care! We’ll rebook regularly and recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.
