About Minuette "Mikhail" S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I keep a close eye on pets throughout my time with them. I make a point to be attentive to animals’ needs, whether it’s food, water, walkies or litter, or if there is a medical emergency. When I write my notes for each visit, I make sure to provide lots of detail on your pet's behaviour and activities during my booking - You never know when you might need that information in case something happens after I leave! Cleanup is no issue, I can bathe well-behaved dogs, and I will always be sure to take LOTS of good pictures to make sure you know your pets are safe!
Information Minuette "Mikhail" S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are any special needs, medications, or behaviours that I should know about! I can accommodate disabilities, diets, and other unique needs, but prefer being able to prepare ahead of time. I also like to know a pet’s unique personality in advance so I know how best to approach a visit - If your pet is especially reactive or has past trauma that makes them wary of strangers, I will be sure to use extra sensitivity when I arrive.
A typical day
With every animal, I make sure to take my time getting familiar with their individual unique personalities, whether they are high-energy or low-energy! I learn their favourite toys and their favourite places to be scratched, and I try to stick as close to their routine as possible to reduce stress. One of my pet care 'signatures' is that I do my best to take beautiful, portrait-style photos that look just as good on your phone as they would in a frame - The key to a great photo is that happy pets make pretty pets!

Pet care experience
[ Humane Society First Aid Certified: 4-13-25 ] I have spent lots of time with elderly cats and dogs, along with puppies as young as 6 months old. If your pet has mobility issues, medications, or otherwise has any conditions that need monitoring, I can do my very best to accommodate that for you! In the past, I have volunteered for a mobile veterinary clinic caring for post-operative animals, so I can be sensitive and responsive to your pet’s unique needs. If your dog needs a bath, I can do it for you! For nail trimming, please ask, as this will depend on your animal.
Reviews
Phenomenal at taking care of high energy dogs. Sent lots of updates and was extremely responsive. Would book again anytime!
Mikhail is really reliable and kindly gives Angie her dinner when he does house sitting.
Angie the Chihuahua spins with happiness when Mikhail visits.
Mikhail reliably took great care of my cat and our place during our time living in ottawa... highly recommended!
