About: Started working with dogs when I was in my early twenties. I stated out as a dog bather and pet care at Petsmart.

“Miranda was great and my cats appreciated her! I appreciated the updates and she went above and beyond to make sure they had what they needed.”


Sharon H.
“Sharon is great with my pets. Going out of town was such a difficult things since my dog is so full of separation anxiety. He would be destructive, run away or be constantly barking. Then when I would return he would be moody and give me the guilt trip and sometimes not eat. Since Sharon has helped me out those issues are a thing of the past. It's almost like he does not miss me anymore. Its a bonus to get the daily updates and not to worry about my place when I'm gone. Obviously the consistency and the walks have helped the anxiety for my dog. I recommend Sharon as a loving pet caregiver and house sitter. Steve”
