Mic's Pet Sitting Duo 🐾 Need Pet Sitting? We've Got You Covered! 🐾Whether it's a quick check-in or an extended stay, we're here to make sure your pets are happy and well-cared for.

Let's make your pet's day together! 🐾❤️
Call us at:469-383-8155 There's No Pet Like Your Pet! We, the happily married team of Mic & Peter, recently moved to Waxahachie after returning to Texas after a few years overseas. Along our married life's journey we have looked after dogs and cats, young and old, plus parrots, finches, canaries, guinea fowl, ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, lizards, chameleons,

saltwater aquariums, donkeys, and monkeys. And we loved them all! So we decided to start our own pet-sitting, dog-walking and house-sitting business! There are a number of VERY IMPORTANT REASONS you should choose us to look after your furry friends:

We are essentially retired now, working together as a team, we have lots of flexibility to devote the time and attention your loved pets deserve - and will take care of your home and property with care and respect. And it's important to note that there are two of us - so we will have at least double the time available for our clients, compared to other sitters. But actually, it is likely even far more than that, as we have no conflicting work commitments and are willing to work 7 days a week, morning to night. AND, because there are two of us, your pets will get double the attention! This makes a world of difference - while one of us is working on the food, the other one can be playing or brushing. ;-)

You will find us super easy to work with, dependable, and trustworthy. With age comes wisdom and also much less partying...! Also, Peter is fluent in German. We provide the FOLLOWING SERVICES for your furry friends:

House Sitting: We stay in your home to look after any member of your furry family while you are out of town. This reduces your pets anxiety to be able to stay comfortably at home. Drop-in visits: We drop by to feed, provide potty breaks and give some loving to your cats, dogs, birds, small mammals, and/or virtually any other pets. Dog Walking: We take your dog for walks around your neighborhood for 30 mins or 60 mins, at the pace they are comfortable with. Please call us to discuss your pet care needs - we offer competitive rates!

Hey everyone! I'm excited to share this video of 7-month-old pup, Randi, who has mastered the MultiPuzzle by Nina Ottosson in less than 3 days! 🎉
This level 4 puzzle is the ultimate challenge for ultra-smart dogs, requiring them to slide tiles and uncover hidden treats in a series of steps. It's a fantastic way to keep your dog mentally stimulated and entertained, especially with this cold snap we are having.
Check out the video below to see Randi in action!

If you're looking for a way to reduce boredom and enrich your pup's mind, this puzzle is a must-try. 🐕❤️

Ever wondered why your cat might avoid a bath but is fascinated by a running tap?

In the wild, running water is generally fresher and less contaminated than stagnant water, and this instinct carries over to our domestic felines. Just as the sound of running water can be soothing and appealing to us, it captivates them as well.

Additionally, some cats dislike the sensation of their whiskers touching the sides of a bowl, similar to how we might feel uncomfortable in cramped spaces. Running tap water avoids this issue, making it even more enticing.

Take Marley and Scarlett, the two playful kitties I looked after over Christmas. Scarlett, with her curious nature, would trot over to the sink whenever she heard the tap running, her eyes wide with excitement. Marley, on the other hand, loved to bat at the water droplets, her paws dancing in delight as if she were a little feline artist painting with water.

Having two kitties of our own, Tinga and Ellie, we've learned firsthand just how important human interaction and companionship are to them. These moments are not just play; they are crucial bonding experiences. Tinga and Ellie have shown us that cats truly crave human connection, much like we enjoy spending quality time with our loved ones. Through their playful antics and affectionate gestures, they've taught us the value of these interactions in strengthening our bond and fulfilling their need for companionship.

Engaging with your cat during these moments enhances your bond and meets their need for connection with you. Just like Marley and Scarlett, your furry friends will appreciate the fun and attention!So, the next time your kitty wants to "help" with the dishes and play with the water, let them!

Meet Roxy, the spirited and spunky miniature schnauzer I've had the pleasure of pet-sitting. This adorable pup is a bundle of energy and intelligence, always ready for her next adventure.
Her favorite pastime? Chasing squirrels! With the determination of a true hunter, Roxy paces the perimeter of the backyard, nose to the ground, eagerly sniffing out any trace of her elusive quarry.
Despite her small stature, Roxy possesses a fearless heart, confidently strutting around as if she were the queen of the backyard jungle. Her courage and tenacity make her seem much larger than she really is, earning her the title of "the little dog with a big spirit."
But Roxy's not all about the chase; she's also the ultimate schmoozer. After an outing of squirrel hunting, she loves nothing more than to curl up on my lap, eagerly anticipating a good back scratch.
In these quiet moments, her affectionate side shines through, making her the perfect companion.

Roxy's blend of boldness and charm makes every day with her an exciting and heartwarming experience!

Today was a delightful day spent with Ozark and Trixie, the adorable pups I had the pleasure of pet-sitting.

The weather was a perfect backdrop for our day, with the sun shining it was a balmy 57 degrees!
After enduring the recent spell of cold weather, it was a joy to finally bask in the warmth and enjoy being outdoors.

Our afternoon was filled with wagging tails as we ventured outside for a charming picnic on the grass.

The highlight for Ozark and Trixie was their lunch, served in their favorite snuffle bowls. Watching them eagerly sniff and forage for their meal was not only entertaining but also beneficial for them, as it offered mental stimulation to engage in their natural foraging instincts. It slows down their eating as they tend to gulp down their food, and this activity reduces the stress and anxiety of being alone.

The three of us relished the simple pleasures of sunshine, fresh air, and the joy of companionship.
Ozark and Trixie were the perfect picnic partners.

Let’s us take your pet on a ‘Snuffle picnic’

At our bush retreat in the heart of South Africa's eco -reserve, we witnessed a truly extraordinary scene at our little water hole.

Close to sundowner time, a troop of monkeys and a family of warthogs gathered for a refreshing drink and some afternoon playtime at our place.
In this magical moment, we captured a photo of a vervet monkey quenching its thirst, only to be joined by an adolescent warthog. It was as if the warthog, with one paw raised, was saying,
"Hi, do you want to come and play?"

This heartwarming interaction reminded us that just like us, animals too thrive on friendships across different cultures.

Let's cherish these beautiful moments that nature offers and embrace the diversity that enriches our lives. 🌿🐒🐗💚

Bruno's Journey: From Apprehension to Affection
In the world of pet sitting, few experiences are as heartwarming as witnessing the transformation of an apprehensive pet into a loving companion. This is the story of Bruno, a charming Cavapoo, whose journey from uncertainty to affection unfolded over a few memorable days.
Day 1: The Introduction
When I first met Bruno, his eyes—wide and cautious—spoke volumes. Known as "whale eyes," this expression often signals a dog's uncertainty and apprehension. Bruno was in a new situation, and I was a new presence in his beloved Mom's space. Respecting his boundaries, I maintained a calm demeanor, allowing him to observe and adjust at his own pace.
Day 2: Building Trust
By the second day, Bruno was still warming up to me. His whale eyes lingered, a reminder of the trust yet to be built. We engaged in gentle play sessions twice a day, creating moments of joy and familiarity. Each interaction was a step towards breaking down his walls, with patience and kindness as my guiding principles.
Day 3: The Breakthrough
The transformation on the third day was nothing short of magical. As I walked through the door, Bruno's demeanor had shifted dramatically. His eyes, once filled with caution, now sparkled with excitement and anticipation. He greeted me with a wagging tail, ready for play and cuddles. The bond we had nurtured was now a flourishing friendship.
The Reward of Patience
Bruno's journey is a testament to the power of patience and persistence. Just as in many aspects of life, building a relationship with a pet requires effort and dedication. The reward, however, is immeasurable—a deep, affectionate bond that enriches both human and canine lives.
In the end, Bruno taught me that love is earned through understanding and compassion. His transformation from an apprehensive pup to a loving companion was a rewarding experience, reminding me why I cherish my role in pet sitting.

🐾🕊️Rest in Peace🕊️🐾

Peter and I were sadden to hear the passing of Gurkha. Losing a beloved pet is never easy and our hearts go out to Kerry, Scott and everyone who loved him during this difficult time.
Gurkha was such a special soul, and it was an honor to care for him and bring joy to his life.
Thank you Gurkha, for the countless sniffaris we shared together. Those adventures will always hold a special place in our hearts.

🐾 Feeling incredibly grateful and overwhelmed with joy today!

My amazing clients truly spoiled me, and I couldn't hold back the tears of pride when I opened their wonderful gift.

I have the pleasure of scheduling two play dates a day with the gorgeous, fun-loving Bernedoodle, Randi, who has completely stolen my heart. To hear that I'm "pawfect" and "the best dog sitter ever" just made my day! 🐶❤️

Loving what you do makes every moment feel effortless. Thank you all for making my job so fulfilling and rewarding!

I'm thrilled to share that Randi's wonderful pet parents have gifted her a snuffle mat! This fantastic tool is perfect for lunchtime fun, allowing her to search for her kibble and enjoy a rewarding challenge. Watch how Randi enjoys this activity.

Benefits of the Snuffle Mat:
Mental Stimulation: Engaging Randi's natural instincts, the snuffle mat provides essential mental exercise, keeping her sharp and entertained.
Slowing Down Fast Eaters: By encouraging her to forage for her food, the snuffle mat helps slow down her eating pace, promoting better digestion and healthier eating habits.

A big thank you to Randi's amazing family for supporting her growth and happiness! 🐶❤️

Celebrating One Month Petsitting with Randi! 🐶❤️

We've been petsitting Randi, this adorable little doodlebug, for a month now, and we couldn't be prouder! Every day, she practices commands like Sit, Stay, Come, and Drop It. Most of the time, she nails them, but sometimes her playful puppy side takes over. She's just too darn cute, and we let her enjoy being a pup for the afternoon!

While we're not professional trainers, the owners of Randi and I believe that all pets need mental stimulation for their growth and development, and this little girl is like a sponge, she is learning everything she can right now.

Puppies, like Randi, benefit from structure, and these basic commands will set her up for success until she can be trained by a professional.

Here's to more fun and learning with Randi! 🐾✨

At just 9 weeks old, Randi is already proving to be quite the smarty-paws. Last week, we introduced her to a fun mental stimulation game: finding hidden treats in a mini muffin tin covered with balls. In no time, she mastered the little flick of her nose to remove the balls out of the way to uncover the treats! 🎉🐶

Watching her learn and grow has been such a joy, and it reminds us of the incredible potential every pet has when given the right care and attention. That's exactly what we offer at Mic’s Pet Sitting Duo!

This little fluffball is in her prime learning phase, soaking up all the human socialization skills like a sponge before she is old enough to attend puppy school.

Her owners have entrusted me with this crucial mission, and we're having a blast! Who do you think will win this round? Spoiler: Randi's got some serious puppy power! 💪🐶

During this tug-of-war training exercise, I will be working with her to release on command. Early training helps to establish good habits and strengthens the bond between you and your puppy.

🐾 Do any of your furbabies need some mental stimulation during the day? If so, give us a call to schedule a free meet and greet! We can help relieve your pet's boredom while you're at work. 🐶📞 469-383-8155.
