Pet care experience
APRIL 2019 UPDATE: Looking for regular clients for daily walking(&/or cat sitting) !! Woof woof (meow) ! Please contact if you need a regular walker. Most availability in middle of the day for a fun jaunt around a park or walk around the neighborhood. Though I am a dog lover by nature, I am a cat lover as well ! I would be so happy to spend time with your feline friends, reading with them while they eat or just hanging out & snuggling if they like to snuggle. ************************************ Growing up as an only child, my two Portuguese water dogs, Genevieve & Madeline were my sisters. We met Genevieve when I was five and I cannot remember my life before having a dog -- the first night we brought her home we were attending a family event at my aunt's home and I spent most of the evening away from the dinner table whispering to and hugging my new best pal. I loved taking them on walks around the reservoir, telling them my secrets, cuddling and letting them lick my plate, both of them slept on my bed almost every night even though there was barely room for me ! From a young age I was responsible for feeding, walking, cleaning up after, and nurturing a loving relationship with my pups. Whenever I see a dog on the street today, I get so excited and cannot wait to ask the owner if I can say hello. I have lots of availability and am excited to care for your furry family members.
Reviews
Mia was awesome!
Mia is great, she treats our dog wonderfully and she's very communicative with us. Our old dog seems to enjoy her company and she treats our home very respectfully. We definitely recommend her services and would certainly refer her to any friends.
Hi there. Mia is a friend of my nephew's and at his behest I met with her because, as he put it, she needed some dog time in her life. I hadn't planned to be out of town so I can't speak to overnight services but felt I could use some casual walk help now and then or on evenings when I was out later than expected. My pup Prince loves Mia. We live in the same neighborhood and she will often text me if she has a free evening just because she wants to hang out with Prince. Can't say no to that ! Gets me out of the house. Would recommend Mia if you need a regular walker, she and Prince had an instant connection and he can be a picky guy. She clearly enjoys her time with the dogs she cares for and in turn, we as pet parents feel taken care of as well.
Mia showed the utmost care for my dog, Pepsi. We were out of town for the holidays and a friend of mine had had Mia stay with her before so it was nice to have a mutual connection. On a whim I reached out, Mia got back to me almost immediately and we arranged on a meet and greet. Mia was on time with a smile on her face. We had her stay in our home in the East Bay for a little over a week. We told her to help herself to anything in the fridge, when we got back she had restocked some of the items she had used and the house looked great. She lives close to where we live and took Pepsi to Albany Bulb and Point Isabel, two places Pepsi loves to sniff around and sent many photos of them playing happily. It's clear Mia loves dogs, I would recommend her to anyone.

Skills
Information Mia R. would like to know about your pet
I always like to know how your dog is around other people, small children, other dogs, cats... If there are any toys they love, favorite spots to walk, if they like to chase the ball, if they like the beach or to swim. I prefer medium or larger dogs, but love all dogs !
A typical day
Walks around Lake Temescal, trips to Point Isabel or Albany Bulb, pretty much anywhere you feel comfortable with me taking your dog, I will be happy to be outside with them as much a possible ! I love to snuggle so if your dog is a snuggler, that is a bonus !
