Veterinarian helping neighbors

Pet care experience

Hi dog moms and dads! My name is Miriam and I am a new veterinarian in the area. I currently don’t have a furry friend of my own, so I am HAPPY to help take care of other people’s furry friends. I have had dogs stay at my house, I’ve stayed at other people’s homes and watch their dogs, and I take dogs out for daily walks and runs. I have only had positive experiences with the dogs I’ve helped and I want to continue providing that. Things I can offer for your dog are not only physical stimulation (walks/runs) but also mental stimulation (food puzzles, training, playing games inside the house). I also love senior dogs who many need an extra hand getting up and down or need some medications administered. Additionally, I am extremely organized when it comes to your pets needs. Whether that be times that medications need to be administered or feeding times, I am great at keeping to a schedule. I can also determine when things are an emergency and have a huge cohort of veterinarians in the area who are happy to help. I would be honored if you trusted me with your furry family member. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends!

Miriam is an extremely kind and genuine animal lover. She treats every animal that she comes across as her own and your fur-baby would be lucky to have her watch them. She has experience working with all types of dogs and is an extremely responsible individual. I trust her to watch my own dog who is dog and leash reactive and cannot be boarded due to behavioral issues. As a veterinary student, she is a professional in the field and incredibly responsible with other peoples' animals. She has an extensive history watching dogs for other students, clinicians and clients before taking her services to Rover. You can feel confident that you dog will be happy, safe and well-cared for in Miriam's care.

I am grateful to Miriam for taking such great care of my dog, Simba. Miriam is extremely reliable, professional, and knowledgeable. She had no problem competently managing the special needs of my older, and blind, Cockapoo. It gave me peace of mind to know that Simba was being well cared for while I was away from home. I highly recommend Miriam. She will be a great Vet soon. You would be fortunate to have her care for your dog.

Miriam is a soon-to-be vet who cares unconditionally about animals—especially dogs. She’s responsible, trustworthy, timely, and smart, and has a knack for intuitively understanding the needs of a pet. She’s so caring that she carried a 30 pound dog that she had volunteered to take care of for a week up and down four flights of stairs—several times a day—when the dog was hesitant to go out walking. She fed the dog on time, made sure the dog took her medicine, and perhaps most importantly, loved the dog as her own. Miriam is extremely trustworthy and I’m confident that she would be the best part of a new dog’s day!

I would like to know what commands your dog knows, if your dog is house trained, how your dog does around other dogs and other people.

A typical day

If there are parks of neighborhoods your dog particularly enjoys I will go there. We will also play ball/rope together, I’ll bring some treats along with me and we will have plenty of couch cuddling time while watching tv!
