WFH Dog Aunt

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Mia! I've been a Rover sitter since I moved to Austin three years ago. I love dogs, but travel a lot and don't want to commit to one of my own. So as a compromise, I watch other people's dogs! I love that being a dog sitter gives me my dog fix, while also helping out an owner by giving them peace of mind that their dog is being taken care of while they're away. I identify as a dog aunt - when dogs are in my care, I treat them as my own. I have a lot of repeat clients, I think because they can tell their dogs are well cared for when they're with me. Feel free to message me with any questions!

Mia is so great with Domino! It gives me such comfort when I need a sitter. They go on all kinds of walks together and I get the best pictures of the two of them having the best time. Mia handles all of dominos needs and more. I highly recommend her. Thank you!!!

Mia was fantastic! Pick up and drop off was so smooth and easy. She and Domino had a wonderful time together which made my heart so happy! I will definitely rebook Mia to watch Domino any time! Thanks 🐾

Mia was available on short notice and was flexible about time and pick up. It was clear Freddie was comfortable at her place by the time I picked him up. Would book with her again!

Mia was great with my dog, Frank. He was in great spirits when I picked him up & got plenty of exercise while I was gone. Mia communicated well & flagged me when she had a concern about Frank not eating. Would recommend her to watch your dog.

I only watch one dog at a time (unless they're from the same family). I also don't interact with neighborhood dogs while walking a dog under our care unless the owner says they're dog friendly. I don't bring dogs to dog parks or off-leash unless the owner expressly asks me to.

Information Mia B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if they have a tendency to cry or make noise at night- I’m a very light sleeper and so it may not be a good fit. Please also let me know about allergies, feeding schedule, sleep preferences (in crate, in bedroom, outside bedroom), and whether they’re allowed on furniture or not.

A typical day

I love to go on walks around the neighborhood. Since I work from home I like to have a furry buddy to take work breaks with.
