Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted animal lover and caretaker!
I have always had some type of pet ever since I was little, whether that be dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, you name it! I love animals and have always been entrusted to be the main caretaker of all my family pets and have learned all different tips and tricks to make sure every animal is loved and cared for while their fur parents are away. I worked in the UC Davis Animal Science Department as a student resident, which meant I lived in a barn with animals 24/7! I have been taught by UC Davis veterinarians how to administer treatments and medicines, and have always been the first to call from my friends who need someone to take care of their pets while they are away. I am comfortable with active dogs, puppies, couch potatoes, or anything that just needs a cuddle every now and then. I have a lot of experience with bully breeds and high-maintenance coats, especially bulldogs, I've had 3 as family dogs! I just love dogs and cats and can assure you that I will make sure your loved one gets the care, attention, and love they deserve. I work with livestock animals and have raised sheep, goats, and cattle for about 7 years now. I am comfortable with horses and any other large animals you may have. I can also provide a helping hand around a ranch or farm if needed and trained to work in all different conditions. If you have a flock of chickens that need to get fed, pens to be mucked while you are away, or any small chores I would love to discuss different rates to ensure that all your animals are cared for!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am willing to bring your furry friends to my home or house sit! I am also willing to provide transportation to dog parks if needed. While I am at your home, however, I ask that I have access to internet access for overnight stays. Other than that, I am very flexible in terms of living arrangements, I have experience with crate training if that is what your family practices. I am a vigilant, responsible individual who will provide the best of care for your family.
Ratings and reviews
Mia was great and did an awesome job with our boxer mix.
I had the pleasure of having Mia as my dog sitter for my greyhound, and I must say they were absolutely amazing. Mia took great care of my dog and displayed a high level of professionalism throughout their service. Their gentle and kind nature made my dog feel comfortable and well-cared for. I highly recommend Mia. The exceptional care, gentle demeanor, and professionalism makes them an ideal choice for anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate individual to look after their pets!

- I would love to know what specific ways you typically give your pet medications. I understand that pets often have different reactions or need different stimulants to get an injection or pill, so a heads-up on how you typically do it would be amazing! I would also like to know if your pet has any preferences to note, such as being apprehensive about certain sounds or surroundings or anything off-limits, I wouldn't want to take a dog to a park and get overstimulated! Any dietary concerns or allergies are really important to me as well, just so I don't give them a treat they shouldn't get!
