Caring Adventure Buddy+Cuddle Buddy

Pet care experience

My answer to the age old question "cat or dog person" has always been dogs (sorry Buddy -my cat) and if you see me meet a dog you'll know it's the truth. Caring for your furr-baby is something that I not only enjoy but take deep responsibility in. Any animal that you, my client, trust me with I treat as my own in a respectful, fun, compassionate manner. I have not only owned my own dog, and now cat, but have also worked in a Doggy Daycare facility. My responsibilities have been walking, feeding, grooming, playing, house sitting, and dropping off pets at home. I am used to all sizes of dogs and have handled multiple tail-waggers at one time. Working with dogs is what I love, and I take pride in my ability to care for them. I am very flexible with my scheduling, and will completely understand if your plans change. Trusting someone with your pet can be difficult and I try to the best of my ability to be accommodating as well as make the whole experience as easy as it can be for you. Hiking is a big hobby of mine so if you have a furry friend that you would like to get some exercise, I am more than happy to lend my services. If you are wanting even more exercise for your pet, or you are worried about their weight, I can include a run in the scheduled time. Please feel free to ask me any questions, I will always do my best to work around what your wishes are and accommodate your dogs needs.

My puppy had a wonderful time with Mia. She helped him practice his skills and he came home sleepy and happy.

Mia’s passion for animals is obvious. My dog loved her! Unfortunately he has passed away but, when I get my next dog, she will be my go to “dog sitter” as I know I can trust her implicitly with his care allowing me to fully enjoy my holiday. I highly, highly recommend her!

Mia is a natural with dogs. When our dog sees Mia, he gets all excited and wants to climb in her lap. (he's a 75 lb lab) . She has taken our dog hiking with on many occasions. He comes home happy and tired! I would not hesitate to recommend Mia as a dog sitter.

Information Mia P. would like to know about your pet

Any time there is a new client/dog I will do a meet and greet at the owners home. This will allow me to meet the dog and go over any information or special requests that you have. Knowing if the dog is reactive, has good recall, food-possessive, etc is key for the success of my caring for your pet. I do not have any preference to breeds and do not judge a dog by its breed.

A typical day

Cadboro bay is close to my home, so beach walks or throwing a ball in the field is easily done. Swimming is even an option for all those water-dogs. As a hiking enthusiast I know many places ranging in popularity that I can take your pet for a hike. I am full of energy so if there is a place your dog likes, I am most likely able to take them there! For all those dogs that love cuddles, I am perfect for the job. Even dogs that want their space I still give them their respectful love. Dog walk examples: Caboro Bay Mt. Doug mt. or beach Mystic beach Island View Park Mystic Vale Doggy Park Around the block/short walks (Smaller, older, or low-energy dogs) Mt. Tolmie Oliphant Lake And many more!!
