Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog lover
A good chunk of my childhood was spent on a farm so being around/taking care of animals is about as natural to me as being with people. I grew up with all sorts of different animals from reptiles, to rodents, amphibians, birds, fish, and of course cats and dogs. There are probably few animals I haven’t had experience caring for. That being said I am most experienced in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and rabbits. Though I love all animals, dogs hold a special place in my heart. When I’m not dog sitting, I’m actively fostering for the local animal shelter which is always overflowing. Given my experience with power breeds I tend to take in the hardest cases as I am one of the few fosters in town qualified to handle these powerful animals. I don’t believe there is a such a thing as a bad dog, only those who have been failed by their humans. I am well versed in correcting certain behavioral patterns like dog reactivity however the majority of work needed to make it successful comes from the owners as consistency is key. Aside from reactive dogs, I have also have experience in caring for senior dogs who require round the clock supervision. As your dog ages it gets more and more difficult for them to control their urges so staying on top of bathroom breaks after meals is key to preventing accidents. I’m comfortable administering most medications. At this point you’re probably wondering why I don’t currently have my own dog and the reason is simply because my life is too much in flux at the moment. Next year in August I am moving to Germany for grad school and it is notoriously difficult to move a pet there due to all their restrictions and bans on certain breeds. I’m the sort of person who would rather loose a limb than abandon my pet so right now it’s just not in the cards for me. That is why I love this job so much, it feeds my soul to be around dogs and is rewarding beyond words to take care of them.

Safety, trust & environment
*** Recently the safety of our dog at home was compromised by a dog that was brought into the home under a boarding request. Placing any pet in a new unfamiliar environment without a familiar anchor can be a stressful experience which produces unknown behaviors in animals that can sometimes result in the one we experienced recently. For this reason going forward I will only offer boarding services to established relationships. That being said I am happy to pet sit at your home with the intention of building a connection that will allow me to determine if they would be a good fit in my home in the future. I was raised by a Japanese mother who taught me the importance of being a good guest in someone else’s home. That can mean a lot of things to different people, but to me it means being quiet, clean and responsible. No loud sounds (TV, Voices, or Music) Before the hours of 8am and after the hours of 10pm. It means leaving the space as I found it or in better condition. It’s not bringing guests over to a space that isn’t mine, or helping myself to your things. Ultimately, it is about honoring your space and treating it with dignity, not as my own personal bedroom. Having said all that, if you think we could be a good fit please do not hesitate to reach out and feel free to read the description below for a sneak peek of what life with your pet is like in my home. *** I am extremely lucky to live in a very spacious home with two large backyards, roughly two acres in all. That is to say, there is plenty of space for your pup to run around, play and just do what dogs do best. We do have two other dogs in the home, one small dog who prefers his space and one extremely sweet English Spaniel whom is safe with smaller animals such as rabbits and cats. As I am in the riviera there is an abundance of wildlife here that I do have to be transparent about. There is also a pool on the property which your dog is welcome to but please consult with me beforehand about any concerns you may have, I’m happy to restrict access if necessary.
Ratings and reviews
Mistea was great! Our Jed just loved being on vacation while we were on our own. Mistea provided a wonderful caring environment and Jed came home a happy well cared for pup.
Great Rover! My dog was very tired and well taken care of (tired is good - he is high energy). Would happily book again.
Mistea was great with our pups! It is clear she loves dogs and I instantly felt at ease with her taking our fur babies for a long walk in GG park. Definitely going to rely on her services in the future.
Mistea was an excellent sitter for our eight-year old terrier mix. He took to her immediately, and she made sure he had plenty of exercise and playtime while we were away. She was very responsive and prompt with updates; will definitely book again.
She’s very friendly and my dog Lily liked her at first although Lily is usually very shy.
Mistea has been dog-sitting Bobo ( my dog) for years. Mistea has always been great with puntuality, dependable and very responsible in watching our pet baby :) She became an aunty to him and Bobo loves her so much. Every time he sees her he gets the zoomyes!! Bobo is a Pitbull/Mastiff mix full of energy and powerful. Mistea had no problem : walking, running, and hiking with him. She is definetly qualified to handle power-breeds. My wife and I love Mistea and we highly recommend her to all our friends.

Schedule
I study applied physics at CSUCI twice a week from 10am-4pm during the semester which gives me the ability to provide your pet with round the clock care most of the week. Currently as it is summer I have full availability to take care of and play with your pet!
