Reviews
Mimi was amazing with our dogs! We couldn’t have asked for more!! She was very flexible with drop-off and easy to communicate with.She sent daily photo and video updates and even sent our pups home with new toys! It was so wonderful knowing they had a great place to stay! I’ll definitely use her for our next trip. Thanks Mimi!
Mimi was amazing! She watched our two frenchies for 10 days while we were in Hawaii for our wedding and honeymoon. She kept us updated daily with cute pictures and took our pups on fun adventures to the park and a local coffee shop. Our dogs were perfectly taken care of and we never worried about leaving them in Mimi's care. She treated them like her own and left our apartment super clean which was awesome to come home to after a long vacation. One of our dogs had just had surgery and had a lot of medications and Mimi handled everything perfectly. Thank you so much, Mimi! Penny and Gus miss you already!
Mimi was great! Very reliable and our dogs loved her!
Mimi house sat our two dogs over the weekend while we were out of town getting married! She came to the house the week before to meet the dogs and I could instantly tell she was responsible, caring, and a true dog lover! She touched base and sent a picture the night of our rehearsal dinner, and stated she would only contact us on our wedding day if there was an emergency. Of course there wasn't, the dogs were in great hands! When we returned, the house was clean, the dogs were so calm and relaxed and she even washed our sheets! We will definitely be using Mimi again when we need a dog-sitter!

Dog Sitting: You are the boss & what rules you implement at home is what rules I will follow! A dog values structure and clear expectations. So it's important to stay consistent with your routines. I am very familiar with crate training as well! Dog Walking: Having walked dogs in shelters & at-home since age 13... I have walked them all! Here are some areas I excel: Walking Types: Reactive, prey-driven dogs, strong, skittish, puller, hyper Leash Experience: leads, harness, choke-chain, slip-lead, collar

Information Mimi H. would like to know about your pet
I truly love all breeds of dogs but it is important to know that all animals have different personalities and need to be handled differently! It would be nice to know: * Temperament * Interactions (Dogs, small children, etc) * Sleep schedule * Potty Schedule * Dinner Schedule * Training Knowledge & Expectations * Significant Life Experiences * Where he/she likes to be scratched!
A typical day
I'm very active! Here are ways I have fun with dogs: * Dog Parks (Shelby, Two Rivers) * Hike & swim at McCabe park * Exploring my neighborhood (Germantown) * Creating enrichment activities (Snuffles, Kongs, puzzles) * Rides in my car for a pup cup * Curling up on the couch and snuggling! Exercise & Enrichment are two very important factors in caring for a pup. So they are physically safe & their minds have been, exercise as well!
