Pet care experience
I've had a dog in my house since I was 8 years old, the first being a husky mix with special arthritis needs, and she lived to be 12 years old! My family currently has a 1 year old farm-dog-mix puppy who is quite the handful but very sweet. I've been a house/pet-sitter for many families with all sizes of animals, including a veterinarian's house with 2 very elderly dogs, 2 cats, guinea pigs, and a rabbit! I'm also familiar with fish care as I have an aquarium at home.
Reviews
Great as usual! Thanks for all your help :)
We have used Mia a few times and she has been great! Love the updates and pictures of how Archie is doing during the visit.
Mia was great! We will definitely use her again. We are new to the area so appreciated Mia accommodating our schedule on short notice. Our dog is nervous with new people, but quickly warmed up to Mia.
My dog Meia seemed to be cared for when we arrived home. I would have liked more pics to show her outside and not just sleeping on the bed or couch. I don’t have house cameras but will have them moving forward. Otherwise, the house was tidy and Meia looked cared for. I would recommend Mia for sure. Thank you Mia ??

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and comfort of your pet is the utmost priority to me, for the animal's well-being but also for your peace of mind while you're away. In case of an emergency, my car has enough room for a large dog if they needed to be transported to the vet. When I pet-sit, I make sure to ask owners about their animal's usual routine, so their pets can feel more comfortable following their regular routine while their parents are away. I understand that some animals can be shy and apprehensive of a stranger in their home, so I am ready to be patient and let them come to me. When they do, I'll give belly rubs and ear scritches just the way they like :)
Information Mia N. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know how your dog is with other dogs, so I know to avoid other dogs on walks or refrain from going to the dog park. As well, let me know how your dog is in a car/if you are comfortable with us driving to a trail in town. I would also like to know about your pet's usual schedule so I can follow it to the best of my ability for your dog's comfort. Additionally, it's important for me to have your vet's contact information in case of emergency, and any special dietary needs or preferences.
A typical day
I love playing ball or chase with your dog's favourite toy in the backyard. This is a great activity for senior dogs who can't go on far walks but still want to have fun and get some exercise, or for dogs who aren't a fan of other dogs. For the high-energy dogs, dog parks are my go-to to tire them out in a relatively short amount of time. As well, I like to take dogs to Kenna Cartwright Park because there are a variety of different length/difficulty trails to suit your dog's energy level. And of course, walks in the neighbourhood, especially on a warm summer evening, are so nice.

Availability
During the school year I have time for drop-ins and walks but cannot do house-sitting at this time. Reach out if you need someone to play with your dogs and cats, take them on walks, to the dog park, or wherever they usually like to go with their parents.
