Highlights
Pet care experience
I love dog sitting!
Growing up my family owned a welsh springer spaniel. He was one of my best friends. I felt the same excitement he did when I walked in our front door to his excited jumping. After 13 years, he passed away of old age. Since then I have wanted to get a dog of my own, but I’m waiting until my husband and I get a house to take that step. In the meantime, I love caring for other family dogs. This is a super fun side job for me. I love all types of dogs, have experience with senior dogs, and am happy to care for more than one pet from the same home (whether they be cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, etc.). If your dog is nervous around new people, I will make sure to give them the care, attention, and space that they need. I always give frequent potty breaks, feed them at their regular time, and am very careful around doorways (so no one runs off on any solo adventures!). I always do an initial home visit with my husband so I can meet your pets before setting up a first booking with a new customer. I send great picture updates, so hopefully you won’t miss your dog too much. You will undoubtedly love how passionate I am about keeping your pet in a safe, loving environment while you are away.

Ratings and reviews
Mia was wonderful staying with our two dogs for the weekend. Great communication and we loved her updates with cute photos!
She took great care of our cat!!
Our experience with Mia was absolutely wonderful! She boarded my dog, Cora, at her house for a long weekend. Before the stay, Mia made sure we were able to meet up so I could ask any questions and feel as comfortable as possible. She asked many questions to understand Cora and my specific needs so that everything would be covered prior to the stay. She was even able to pick her up from my house which was very convenient for me. Cora took to Mia right away! She is incredibly hyperactive and Mia kept her active the whole weekend taking her on walks, hanging out with the family. She kept me updated the entire time and sent many pictures which were fun to see. Cora is fear reactive and so I was concerned she might be too much to handle, however there were absolutely no issues. She was very patient and understanding. I highly recommend Mia for anyone looking for care for their pets!
Add to my previous statement that I think is important to note* My dog has separation anxiety and fear aggression, and Mia was very patient and took the time to allow my dog to warm up to her and now they are best friends. This was a huge step for our dog!
I had Mia stop by to let out and play with my Australian Cattle Dog, and she did great! He was so happy when I got home, and I felt very comfortable letting her into my home. She sent me updates on how he was doing, and she was very nice. I would recommend her if you are looking for someone to stop by and take your dog out or if you need her to care for them while out of town.
Mia was great! We had her bring our dogs to our wedding ceremony so we could take pictures with them. Really made our day. Would let Mia watch Abby and Belle again in a heartbeat.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am available to do home visits to feed your pets, groom with a brush/bath, play their favorite games, go on long walks or runs, and spend the night if you need a house sitter. I can also take care of other pets including cats, hamsters, fish, chickens, etc. If you need someone to water plants while you are away, I can take care of that too!
Pets
A typical day
Caring for dogs gives me drive in my daily life. My husband is always excited to have a furry friend to go on runs with and we both find relaxation time petting animals on the couch. We love playing fetch/tug of war, going on long walks, giving baths, brushing, and having them jump up on my bed at night. There are tons of parks/preserves that we frequently visit for long walks too. Make sure to show us your pets favorite toys as we will make good use of them.
