Attentive and interactive caretaker

Pet care experience

In the past four years of having a dog of my own, I have also had the pleasure of dog sitting, boarding, and walking for friends and neighbors over 100 times. I live near two large unfenced dog friendly green spaces, with two fenced dog parks within walking distance and many more within a couple mile drive. I have a rescue pup of my own that I've trained to be a certified therapy/volunteer dog. I spend a lot of time with my dog, bonding and nurturing her. I happily share my learned knowledge of obedience training and curbing certain behaviors with others in the dog community. Your dog will be in good hands. I would be more than happy to provide references upon request from friends and neighbors who have had their dogs under my care and supervision.

Palmer enjoyed his stay with Milia! She sent pictures and updates throughout his weekend stay and even gave him a bath before we picked him up. Four paws review!

Milia and her boyfriend were incredible. They responded quickly and were willing to do a short notice book for my dogs. Milia sent pictures and videos throughout the visit, and both dogs got exactly what they needed--lots of good walks for one and naps outside on the deck for the other. She even gave my lab a bath without our asking her to. Both dogs came home happy. We will definitely book with Milia again!

Milo & Lana loved their stay at Milia's - thank you Milia and family for putting up with their erratic behavior! Milia is super accommodating and I would trust her with my pups any time. Thank you again!

Milia was just wonderful. She was communicative throughout Scout’s weekend with her. I got frequent pictures and updates on how he was doing, and seeing him obviously happy and calm made my weekend away much better. We wouldn’t hesitate to board Scout with Milia again!

Information Milia G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about your dog's routines and/or behaviors, normal and otherwise. I would also like to know about your dog's sociability and training levels.

A typical day

I am surrounded by large green space, wooded areas, trails, and dog parks - all within walking distance or a couple miles by car. I'm flexible to meet the needs and desires of your dog. I have a good sense about figuring out enjoyable activities for your dog - whether it's playing fetch or tug-of-war, or hiking a trail, or enjoying a long scenic walk, or socializing with other suitable dogs, or teaching him/her new tricks and commands, or even just snuggling for some belly rubs - I'm game to do it all for your pup!
