Pet care experience

Pet-lover of all shapes and sizes!

[ 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.

Pets

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!

Angie the Chihuahua got special affection and her dinner and playtime and walkies! She does backflips when Mikhail comes to take care of her.

To put all the coats and little boots on my chihuahua Angie is a feat in itself. Mikhail is very caring and Angie had a grand time!

Mikhail stayed at my place for a week to look after my cat. Everything was how I left it and clean. I got news and photos everyday which is always nice and reassuring. Mikhail was also super helpful with a situation with the apartment and my neighbors. Honestly I can’t be thankful enough!

16 to 40 lbs
Minuette "Mikhail" can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
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.
