Availability
Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my days around walks, feedings, and check-ins to ensure every pet receives consistent, attentive care. At this point in my life, I am intentionally focusing on what brings me joy—animals, especially dogs. I am currently taking a step back from fast-paced, high-pressure nonprofit work to explore my art and health journey, and that naturally includes spending more time with four-legged friends. This flexibility allows me to be fully present, maintain each pet’s routine, and provide the level of care, attention, and love they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I know how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust—especially when caring for senior or special needs pets—and how that can make even a short trip feel stressful. I specialize in caring for elderly, chronically ill, and special needs pets, while also welcoming young pups. I have experience with large breeds, including growing up with Labrador Retriever, and I am confident handling detailed care routines. I am experienced in administering medications such as insulin injections, eye drops, syringe feeding, and oral medications, and I always follow feeding, potty, and care schedules closely to keep your pet comfortable and safe. In-home care is often a more gentle and less stressful alternative to vet boarding, allowing your pet to stay relaxed in a familiar environment. I focus on maintaining healthy routines with walks, playtime, mental stimulation, and high-quality treats, while always respecting any dietary needs or restrictions you provide. I also offer transportation, overnight or daytime care, late-night walks, and last-minute or emergency visits when needed. I am happy to meet you and your pet beforehand so we can build trust and ensure the best care possible.
Information Mia F. would like to know about your pet
From pet parents, I always appreciate as much detail as possible. Knowing your dog’s daily routine, medication schedule, triggers, comfort items, and any changes in behavior helps me provide the best care. It is also helpful to understand their mobility level, appetite habits, emergency contacts, and vet information. The more I can mirror what they are used to, the smoother and more stress-free the experience will be for your pet.
A typical day
I tailor activities to each pet’s personality, age, and energy level. That can look like long walks, playtime with their favorite toys, and gentle enrichment like practicing basic commands or puzzle games. For senior or special needs pets, I focus on slower strolls, comfort, and calm companionship. My goal is always to keep them engaged, happy, and feeling safe while sticking to the routines they know and love.

Reviews
Communicative and flexible through scheduling!
Mia is an amazing sitter! She’s responsive and attentive to detail. She made me feel so secure she was caring for my pets gave regular updates and a lot of pictures. My girls were very happy in her care and I would highly recommend her.
Mia was great with my puppy and very patient with him. Really appreciate it!
