Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Pet Sitter & Walker
I’ve been working with animals professionally since 2019, starting with dog walking before expanding into dog running, dog sitting, and general pet care. During the pandemic, I joined a “Run My Dog” program where I ran with high-energy dogs to help keep them physically and mentally stimulated when many pets weren’t getting enough activity. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs through both short-term and extended pet sitting. I also have years of personal experience from owning four large pit bulls of my own, including senior dogs and dogs with allergies, anxiety, reactivity, and strong personalities. Caring for them taught me how important patience, consistency, and trust are when working with animals. I have reliable transportation, a safe two-story home with a fully fenced backyard, and I’m home most of the day, which allows me to give pets lots of supervision, attention, and companionship. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and try to make every pet feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for while they’re with me.

Mia was great with our dog Bella. She sent frequent updates and photos. I could tell Bella was happy and comfortable with Mia!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine because I’m home most of the day right now after graduating nursing school. Besides working short evening shifts on Thursdays and Saturdays, I spend most of my time at home, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention, supervision, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I actually enjoy having pets around because I love the routine and companionship they bring. Whether that means morning walks, sticking to feeding or medication schedules, spending time outside in the fenced backyard, or just hanging out on the couch with them, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Since I’ve owned large dogs myself for years, caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life and comes very naturally to me.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I know pets are family, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I have experience with reactive dogs, escape artists, dogs with allergies, and large breeds, so I’m very attentive to different behaviors and needs. My home has a fully fenced backyard, I’m home most of the day for supervision, and I’m dog CPR certified. I also have quick access to emergency veterinary care nearby, including EmmaVet urgent care just minutes away, and a Regional 24 hour ER 15 minutes away. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and caring environment where both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.
A typical day
I love keeping dogs active, happy, and comfortable based on their individual personality and energy level. For high-energy dogs, I enjoy long walks, playing outside in the fenced backyard, running, tug-of-war, fetch, and lots of interactive playtime. For calmer or older dogs, I’m just as happy spending time cuddling on the couch, relaxing with them, or giving them a slower paced walk and quiet company. I always try to match each pet’s comfort level and routine so they feel safe and stress-free while in my care. Daily care includes regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, supervision, medication if needed, and lots of attention and affection throughout the day.
