16 to 40 lbs

I work from home Mondays through Fridays so, evening and weekend bookings are ideal. If you are going out of town for the day or need someone to walk your dog / visit your cat after 4:00 PM on the weekday, I can definitely get the job done. I am willing to do afternoon walks but only on a case by case basis.

Safety, trust & environment

While I am not accepting any pets into my own home, I guarantee to make sure your pet is comfortable while you are away. I can provide lots of belly rubs, chin scratches, playtime, outdoor time, and companionship to your pet. I understand the importance of accommodating reactive animals, especially reactive dogs, and will do everything I can to make your pet comfortable with my presence. I can also provide any special medications or foods your pet might need.

Information Mia P. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know about any health issues to look out for and any habits the dog might have! Let me know how they typically interact with other dogs and what actions or outside factors might trigger them.

A typical day

I absolutely love playing any way your pet sees fit. We can have high energy play with long walks and fetch or we can do low energy play with chew toys. I know not all pets want to play, so I can also offer scratches and cuddles.

Pet care experience

Welcome! I am a pet lover and caregiver of several years and a rescue dog owner of four years. When initially looking for pet services for my own pup, I struggled to find services that worked for my reactive dog. Pets from all different backgrounds can struggle with interacting with people and other animals. Often, this struggle makes finding a sitter or a pet walker difficult. As a reactive dog owner myself, I promise to work with your pet to make every walk or visit as comfortable and caring as possible. I also have experience administering medication and specialty food. Any special needs your pet has I am willing to meet! Book and message me to discuss how I can best work with you and your pet!

Mia was so patient with our cat. She was very responsive and provided updates. I could not have asked for a better cat sitter!

Mia was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in every way—especially with a last-minute booking. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling and even worked around us for the onboarding call, which made everything so much less stressful. She kept us updated with detailed check-ins, photos, and thoughtful notes, and it was clear our cats (Carl, Mazy, and Onyx) were comfortable, safe, and well cared for. She also made sure to spend time actually playing with them during each visit, and they LOVED that—it meant so much knowing they were getting real attention and enrichment, not just basic care. She handled unexpected situations calmly and proactively, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I fully trusted her in our home and with our pets, and she was extremely reliable and communicative the entire time. We came home to happy cats and everything in great shape. I would absolutely book with Mia again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
