About: If you are anything like me I find it stressful to leave my fur babies in someone else's care. I can provide a safe loving space for your fur kids to stay. Between a spacious home and a large privacy fenced shaded backyard for them to explore and play, we hope your pups will find our home a relaxing environment to stay. Our pups are our kids and are treated as so. We have owned dogs all of our adult lives and feel we understand dog behaviors. While you are away we will provide around the clock care in a safe loving environment. Whether your pup is a social baby and would like to lounge next to people or more comfortable in there own space I have the ability to meet those needs. Safety is a priority. With the large fenced in backyard, this gives the pups the ability to go outside and do their business, lounge, explore and play without the fear of run offs. Since I have always had dogs and cats it has been a priority to make sure my home is pet safe.

About: I have worked at my local dog daycare and have experience outside of taking care of my own animals growing up. I have also pet-sat dogs before for family members and friends. I am using this as my only job, and don't have any other priorities besides being a student. I don't have any classes I have to go to; they are all online, so I will have a free schedule. I have a yard that your pets will be able to play and no other animals live in my home. I always prioritize safety, following feeding instructions, walk routines, and home rules closely. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and ensure pets are calm, well-cared for, and not left alone.

I have never had to worry while we are gone because she treats our girls as if they were her own. The love and attention they received while in her care is unmatched by anyone else we’ve had watch our pups in the past. Mimi is friendly, reliable, and trustworthy - everything you could ask for in a pet sitter!”
