Pet care experience

Loving care when you can’t be there

Hi there! I’m Mia, a veterinary assistant and lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of personal and professional pet and house sitting experience. I have 1 dog, 1 cat, and 2 guinea pigs of my own and I’ve cared for just about every kind of companion — dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and more — and I’m passionate about providing high-quality care as if your pets were my own. My background in veterinary medicine means I’m skilled in safely handling animals of all temperaments, administering medications, and recognizing subtle signs of stress or illness. I’m also pet CPR certified for your peace of mind. Whether your pet needs daily walks, playtime, special attention, or just some loving company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I also offer nail trims for a small additional fee. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and your home — you can count on me for reliability, communication, and genuine compassion. I can’t wait to meet your furry, or scaly family members!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With my background as a veterinary assistant, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress or illness and to handle pets calmly and confidently in any situation. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal routines to keep them comfortable and secure, and I always make sure doors, gates, and enclosures are properly closed. I keep a clean, calm environment and treat every home and animal with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

This is the second time Mia has stayed in our home to watch our anxious dog. She follows all instructions and keeps our home in great condition. Mia even runs home on her lunch break to let my dog out. She is reliable and provides regular updates. I would not hesitate to hire her again.

Mia is an amazing caregiver, we’re so lucky to have found her. We had a last minute need and she had no problem stepping in on short notice. Our dog was recovering from major surgery, and her veterinary experience was a life saver. We’ll definitely engage her services again and would strongly recommend the same to anyone!

WOW! I can’t say thank you to Mia enough! Always doing rover can be a little scary cause you asking a stranger to be in your house with your favorite animal but she was perfect and eased all concern. She took perfect care of graham for over 2 weeks at our place and she’s absolutely delightful to work with! We will be used Mia for all our doggie needs! She’s amazing. Thank you Mia!!!

Mia was great! She was timely, communicative, and took great care of our two dogs, one of which needs twice daily medication. I highly recommend her!

Mia was wonderful with our pups and left our home in great shape. She asked thoughtful questions and communicated about any concerns. We would book her again for house sitting and pet care.

Schedule

I currently work four days a week from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., which means I’m available for house sitting during the week and on weekends. I can check on your pet on my lunch break if you live close enough. 🐾 Dog walks & drop-in visits: • Monday–Friday: Before 7:00 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m. • Saturday & Sunday: 6:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s routine — if you have specific timing needs, feel free to message me and we’ll make it work!

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their daily routine and personality. Please let me know about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or special care instructions. It’s also helpful to know their feeding schedule, favorite activities, comfort items, and how they usually behave around new people or other animals. For cats, I appreciate details about litter box preferences and hiding spots; for dogs, I like to know walking routines and any leash or reactivity concerns. The more I know about your pet’s habits and needs, the better I can make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
