Responsible loving pet caretaker
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of many high energy dogs and love going on runs, hikes and dog parks with them. Growing up I took care of my cats, and our family dogs. In the last 6 years or so I have been taking care of neighbors, friends and family’s fur children and they have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and at times work on basic manners such as sit, down or shake with their pets. I currently have a husky and two cats who all have set routines Including run/walk time, training time, and many cuddle times. My husky was abused in the past so I am experienced with the special care an abused, neglected or traumatized pet may need. I’ve raised rescued kitties and puppies as well so I have experience in proper handling. If your dog does not do well with new dogs and or is reactive to certain people, situations or places please let me know and I will ensure they are able to be redirected during walks and or our other adventures.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a studio apartment so all my pets are allowed everywhere with close supervision and my husky has a ton of outdoor time on our walks and our daily hr and a half at the nearby dog Park or hiking trail. Each pet is allowed to be on the couches, bed, desk and even my counter (cats only). In the same way I care for my fur children, I will offer full communication with many goofy pictures throughout the booking and make sure your pet has everything they need to ensure they have a fun and safe time with me! If there is any last minute changes in their care, routine, behaviors or you have any concerns, please communicate with me so I can be as flexible and will do my best to accommodate to you and your fur children’s needs/wants!
Information Mika H. would like to know about your pet
Please Let me know what special accommodations they will need to help them feel safe and loved! If that is going on their favorite trail, having a little extra treat, or something to remind them they’re still home and safe please let me know! I would also love to know their temperament, if they love to play, are very protective, standoffish or if they have been abused or neglected in the past causing them to be very shy or fearful. If they are destructive, reactive or still learning some basic manners please let me know so I can prepare accordingly! My prices are set higher so that I am not as busy and can prioritize one or two fur families at a time. If it’s a repeat family and you are willing to be flexible for the check in times, I can modify the prices to make it more fair. Almost all repeat clients are locked into the original rates from their first booking. If you do not communicate for booking or the initial meeting, I will cancel for my personal safety and to allow others to lock in their requested days and times. Please let me know. I look forward to working with you and meeting new sweet pups and kitties!
A typical day
I love to run with my dog and train him tricks. He knows the basic commands and several fun ones such as go thru, spin, stand, beg, crawl, throw hands and boop. When I leave the house, I play his country music which has been his bedtime music every night since he was a puppy. Put several treats in his crate along with a chew toy and he will calmly spend some time in his crate. Afterwards we go play! He loves exploring new trails and loves to go straight into a rock climbing area. Our current favorite trail is Constellation trail and Watson Lake. At night we play a mixture of fetch and keep away with his stuffed toy dinosaurs…and very loud squeakers! (the only kind he will play with). After all the playing, and some cuddles and kisses, he curls up next to me in bed and sleeps all night! If there are any loud noses or disturbances, he will quietly wake me up and find both kitties to make sure everyone is safe and present. My kitties and I have a much more relaxed day and sneak in as many cuddles in between meetings as I can! They both can play fetch and love to play with laser lights!

Availability
From the moment I get up the pets breakfast come first and their needs throughout the day are planned into my schedule to allow them as much time out of the crate as possible and to not be inside the crate for more than 5-6 hrs. I schedule a very set time throughout my day to provide regular walks or hikes. If there are any medications or a set dinner time, or training tricks you want me to do with them please let me know and I will make any modification needed to accommodate your pets needs! I work full time as a social worker so I will not be doing any check ins Mon-Fri anytime during 8-6. If you are flexible, I will be willing to do before or after my work. Please be flexible in your times as this allows me to prioritize both your pets well being and my time management! 😅🙃I will only book one client per date, if you are not booked a week before the dates of your trip I will cancel as I need to prioritize regular clients and allow others to book and lock in the dates and times. If you are a regular repeat customer, I have most everyone locked at their original price from their first booking rates. (That way when things go up it won’t affect your rates or services) Also!! At the end of April, I will be moving to the edge of Prescott valley so repeat customers please check in with me as unfortunately some clients will no longer be part of my service area. If you are still wanting to have services, we may possibly be able to make something work but with some cost and visit changes. If you are not open to any changes for this please reach out to other sitters in your area! I’m sorry for the inconvenience! ❤️
