Pet care experience
🐾Hello! My name is Milanna and I'm a recent graduate of Electrical Engineering taking a few months off before I start a career in EE. I have always been a huge animal person, which has led me to pursue jobs and volunteer experience with animals since I was 16. I've worked at a horseback riding facility, volunteered at animal shelters, and worked at 3 farms. My family also loves dogs and we currently have 3! These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, goats, alpacas, chickens, guinea pigs, sheep, and fish. I feel comfortable caring for any of these animals, or any other animals you have with the right guidance! I'm open to overnight stays as well. I genuinely love just being around animals, so whether you pet needs someone to play all day or just hang out with them around the house I'm ready. I look forward to hearing from you!🐾
Reviews
This is the second time we’ve hired Milanna, and she lived up to the excellent precedent she set the first time! The dogs were happy to see her and greeted her as their friend, even though it had been months since she stayed with them last. She administers Sue’s medication (and it’s a bit tedious) and sticks to the dogs’ routine well, and leaves our space as she found it. One of our favorite things about Milanna is that she sends a lot of updates with photos while we are gone, as well! I’d recommend Milanna to anyone who wants their pets to be loved like family while you are away. We were very happy to be able to book her again.
I can’t say enough on how great Milanna was with our two dogs this past weekend. She walked them twice a day and even took them to the river for a walk, which is their absolute favorite thing to do. She sent pics and updates, made sure they stayed on their eating schedule and even let them sleep with her. I highly recommend Milanna with watching your fur babies ?
Milanna was incredible! We went out of town with a friend for the weekend, and she watched our two dogs AND our friend’s dog together in our apartment and she did amazingly! We have one dog who has some guarding tendencies, and our friend’s dog is pretty anxious and usually gets very nervous when left with sitters (sweet and well behaved but just obviously uncomfortable). She had no troubles with Sue’s guarding, and Chloe (the nervous girl) warmed up to her immediately. She sent lots of updates with photos and videos and we were so impressed with how relaxed and happy and playful all three dogs looked in each one! Since our friend’s dog doesn’t usually live with us, her schedule was a little different, and she handled their different food/walk/medication schedules no problem. The dogs all seemed so happy with her and they were definitely well taken care of! We would absolutely happily rebook Milanna, and highly recommend her!
Milanna is an amazing dog sitter! I can't say enough good about her. Not only was she great with my two dogs, but she was punctual, made sure my house was clean, and is a great communicator. She did very well with my puppy who is a whopping 100 pounds. My other dog has anxiety and doesn't always do well with new people, but Milannas loving and sweet personality made it so Cookie felt comfortable instantly. If you are looking for someone that is caring and willing to go above and beyond to meet your pets needs, look no further.

Safety, trust & environment
I always care for animals with their best interest as the priority, I want them to feel safe and comfortable. I often bring treats as long as the owner approves of it so that I can get off on the right foot with your dog. From there, I like to let the dog get to know me through play and petting! If the owner and the dog are comfortable with it, I also like to take dogs on walks to get some energy out.

I love training, so whether it’s walks or dog sitting I like practicing your dogs tricks! Definitely let me know what tricks your dog knows and I can practice with them, or using positive reinforcement I can even try teaching your dog some new tricks.
