Safety, trust & environment

I’m very mindful of safety; I’ve seen enough ‘accidents’ after working at a veterinary hospital that’ll last me a lifetime. I do everything to ensure my pets are safe, and your dog would be no different. Meals are served separately, and strictly observed to avoid aggression, dogs are securely leashed while on walks, and the environment is free of debris or trash for anyone to munch on.

Information Miki R. would like to know about your pet

I can give medications to pets, but please let me know if your pet does not take it easily (IE: unable to give injections without two people present, etc). If your dog has nervous or aggressive tendencies, please let me know at the time of booking so I can plan accordingly!

A typical day

During the day we would enjoy moderate walks around the local parks and neighborhoods. I have no shortage of dog toys, so no matter their play style, they should find at least one they enjoy! If your pet enjoys cuddles, they will have plenty of opportunities!

Pet care experience

I have both personal and professional history when it comes to taking care of animals. I worked at an acclaimed veterinary clinic (2018-2021), where I experienced a spectrum of situations, from routine nail clippings to harrowing emergencies. I’ve also been a dog owner for many years, and care deeply for the well being of animals. I have a soft spot when it comes to little dogs; they have their own quirks and personalities that need special attention. The scrunglier, the better I say!

Miki is the best! Without hesitation she was willing to work with my specific needs with my dog and was so dog smart and lovely :) I look forward to her taking care of Lucia in the future

Miki did an outstanding job caring for Cinder(ella) at our home. Very good communication. You can always tell when someone TRULY cares and is an animal lover. Miki is exactly that. I recommend her services and would use her again without a second thought.

Thank you for taking care of the cheese gang, it takes my girl cat a little to warm up to her sitter and it looks like she trusted Miki in record time <3
