Pet care experience
I grew up around dogs and animals of all kinds, and of course the first thing I did when I moved out on my own, over 20 years ago, was get myself my own dog. I've always had at least one, ever since. I now have a retired greyhound, an adopted stray cat, a ball python, and fish, and I've been fostering cats and kittens for about four years--ever since we moved from our farm to Grand Rapids. My family won't let me have any more pets, so let me take care of yours! I use positive reinforcement and gentle guidance to help shape animal behavior and am also available to help owners reach a kinder, gentler relationship with their pets.
Reviews
Miliana is a wise, patient, and nuturing person. She is very calm around pets and values observation and communication with the various animals in her care in order to provide for their specific needs.
You definitely wouldn't be disappointed letting Miliana take care of your beloved pet. Not only does Miliana have experience with animals, but she is also very kind, gentle, responsible and trustworthy. She's a very reliable person to take care of your fur baby. ❤

My yard is not fenced. I've diligently taken my greyhound out at least three times a day for potty walks. We particularly like "follow your nose" adventures. I'm willing and able to give your pet more frequent potty breaks and drive or walk them to the nearby dog park. Our greyhound, Prism, likes other dogs. Our cat, Kiwi, tolerates dogs and usually just chills in the den. Our children have grown up with animals of all kinds and enjoy their company. Our house is "lived in," so another set of paw prints isn't a problem. We do train our dogs not to get on the furniture, and we supply plenty of blankets and dog beds as comfy alternatives. Prism is crate trained. We prefer to care for dogs who are also crate trained, and I'm happy to help your pet learn to enjoy their crate if they don't yet.

I love all breeds. If boarding, it would be good to know in advance if your pet is kid- and cat-friendly.

I'm currently working Tue, Wed, & Sat mornings at a horse barn. I also homeschool my children, which means more exposure to fun things for your pet if it's appropriate to take them along to parks or other homeschool adventures.
