I am currently looking for part time work and something that allows me to also have a flexible schedule with my 3 year old daughter. My partner is also with her a lot so I will have plenty of time for pet sitting.

Safety, trust & environment

I can look after pets that don't need a lot of attention during the day, besides walking and some amount of playing inside or in the yard. Otherwise I expect them to be at least somewhat trained and happy following me around the house as I do my daily chores. :)

Information Mia S. would like to know about your pet

If there are any special needs, if their temperament is very wild or doesn't do well with kids or can bite. Dogs need to be potty trained although I can easily take them out for several walks a day.

A typical day

I live near Larkey Park which is great for walking dogs! I also have a yard where dogs can explore and have some outside time if we are at home. My daughter absolutely loves dogs and animals so she will be happy to play with them as well.

Experienced petsitter / dog walker

Pet care experience

I have 10+ years of freelancing experience of taking care of animals (dogs, cats, horses) and enjoy this a great deal. My personality is very calm, warm and responsible and I have always received great feedback from my petsitting clients. My family has had dogs, horses and small pets throughout my life and I am the one who has always trained our dogs. This is something that I love very much. My primary focus is always that the dog / pet is getting enough exercise, eating healthy and is also stimulated enough if they have a very active personality. I have worked with all kinds of breeds but in particular I have a lot of experience with dachshunds, whippets, poodles and spaniels. I am also very flexible with my schedule and do not mind working on weekends and evenings. I do have a 3 year old daughter at home with me a lot, and will need to adjust my schedules with her needs.

Mia is reliable, friendly, and is great with our dogs. Our pups always come back happy and tired after their walks. Communication is great, and I always get updates and photos. I trust her completely and highly recommend her services to anyone who wants their dog in caring hands.

Mia took such good care of our puppy! Aurora came home very relaxed and happy, and we will definitely ask Mia to dog sit for us again!

Mia helped walk and feed my 2 dogs (husky and a golden) for a week. She gave daily updates and shared photos. We had piece of mind knowing that our fur-babies were being well taken care of. She went above and beyond by vacuuming a couple of times when the hair got to be a bit much, which was greatly appreciated.
