Mimi was a great sitter for our shy kitty while we were away for a week. She is very communicative and conscientious. We will book her again next time!

Mimi is the best!!! This is the second time we’ve used her for both our 2 yorkies. She took such good care of them while we were away on vacation and took great care of our house. She stayed with them the whole 6 days and sent us photos throughout her stay. We are so thankful for her and would totally use her again!!

Mimi watched our pup on our wedding day and she was amazing!! Max was so happy and she also helped provide us with some helpful training tips. We hope to use her again in the future!

Information Mimi O. would like to know about your pet

DOGS BIG & SMALL "Be sure to let me know of any behavior issues I can help you with. I use positive methods to encourage/reinforce basic training, and instill good manners in younger dogs. You may be surprised how well 'problem' dogs behave with me!"

A typical day

Mimi the Ranch Sitter is dog's best friend! Dogs look forward to every visit. She can stick to a set routine or mix it up with a variety of activities each day. "I tailor outings and activities to owners' preferences, while considering the dog’s age, temperament, energy level and health. Every dog is unique – some love to play with squeaky toys, chase balls or take leisurely on-leash strolls, while others prefer to run free and explore. Some like social interaction with other dogs, and others prefer lots of TLC ♥."

Your pet/pets are always her first priority, and she is always prepared to spend 100 percent of my sit time with them as required. If they like to go in the car, she will usually seek out dog-friendly parks nearby to explore on leash.
