Calm, responsible and caring!

Pet care experience

I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I had my first dog, Cooper (cocker spaniel) at 12 and had him for 16 years! I currently am a proud dog mommy to a Hurricane Maria rescue from Puerto Rico named Lola, a cocker spaniel & Cavalier King Charles mix. I have experience fostering, sitting, and walking all types of dogs.. from tiny puppies to Great Danes! I’d love to meet and take care of your pup! I’m available for boarding, sitting, daycare, check-ins, and walks. I would prefer to keep fewer dogs for boarding or daycare so that they can get the attention they deserve... and lots of individual play and snuggle time. I have experience with senior dogs and administering medications. I keep a log of all activity during all stays and provide plenty of updates with photos or videos. I have a flexible schedule and internet-based businesses, so have the ability to spend all my time with your fur baby! If I am housesitting and I run errands or have an appointment, your dog is never alone for more than a couple of hours. My house is a calm, clean space and I have my retired parents on site so there is always someone home. My own dog is rarely left alone, and if boarding, I make sure to not leave both dogs alone for the duration of the stay. I only board one dog at a time, unless there are multiple in one household. I am a super clean and organized person, so when house sitting I make a great guest- I often leave a space cleaner than I found it! I treat your fur baby as my own- so if they’re up for it they’ll get lots of pets, snuggles, and sleep in the bed with me 😊

Milena is awesome!!! She is so caring and kind! Milena’s dog, Lola, is a sweetie. Milena sent a video and took great pictures. It was Biscuit’s birthday today and Milena gave her special treats! I wouldn’t be surprised if you looked up “the best dog sitter,” and Milena’s picture was there! A million stars!!!!!!

Thank you, Milena! Lucy always has a wonderful time with Milena but recently lost vision in both eyes and has been very tentative as she adjusts. Milena had her walking again and Lola was a perfect buddy for a newly blind dog. So grateful for your loving care of Lucy.

Information Milena C. would like to know about your pet

All people and pets have their quirks- no detail is too small! I want your pet to feel assured that their routine won’t change. If boarding at my home, your pooch must get along with other dogs. My lovely Lola is friendly and calm, so would prefer other calm dogs. She does not like jumpy dogs, especially if they try to mount her.

A typical day

My favorite thing to do would be hiking, if I have a doggy companion who likes that! My favorite place for walks is in the South Mountain Reservation. It’s a great park with plenty of trails to choose from. I also arrange doggy play dates and walks! A wonderful day would be a day spent outside and coming home for treats and snuggles.
