Avid Dog Lover & Cat Whisperer
Pet care experience
I enjoy caring for fur babies of all types, love to take walks with them (I walk 6 plus miles a day), throw balls, maintain consistency of training or help you implement new training protocols during my slow season. I own an exclusive pet transportation business and when I am not relocating pets across the country, I love to keep myself busy spoiling your pets. I an highly experienced with separation anxiety that many pets experience and I do insist on Meet & Greets both via Rover and for my drivers, I have a special spot for special need & senior cats & dogs. I am adept in apply drops, pill and injections for cats & dogs. My car is dog & cat friendly for those trips to the doggie park or vets! For those who travel, I am an experienced House & Pet Sitter who can handle any type of emergencies both pet and house related. I am usually booked starting in the Spring to early Fall with several private clients and holiday months for house sitting jobs. What your dog will get if I care for them overnight: 2-3 walks of 30 minutes or longer depending on their age & health. I personally like to walk a minimum of 6 miles a day. Weekly bath if your bathroom facilitates that & daily teeth cleaning. I do not clip nails nor any other grooming services. Continue any training programs with your treats or mine, ( I use only organic treats). If you prepare their meals from scratch, I will continue the same process. Most importantly, you will get several photos, videos and daily emails or text messages per your preference. If they have a schedule visit with their Vet and / or Groomers, I will take them if that is your preference ----------------------------------------------------- If you have cat(s), please note Rover doesn’t quite have the same fee scale as they do for dogs where you have the rate for 1 dog and a much smaller rate for each additional dog. My rate feline rates for cats are mirrored to that of the canines and I usually have to manually adjust the additional cat rates. Drop in visits are 35-40 minutes in length and consist of feeding, grooming, cleaning of cat litter and play time. Cats need just as much love & mental stimulation as their canine counterparts but tend to be much more shy in the beginning. I also find it important to provide exercise via their favourite toys & laser pointer, especially if you are on overnight trips. You will get photos & videos either via text or email. For overnights, in addition to the above. 2 daily cleaning of the cat litter (clean litter boxes reduces urinary infections). Feeding & medications done per their schedule Games and playtime, many cats respond very well to mental stimulation. Daily brushing of their fur Daily cleaning of their teeth. Daily cleanup of any messes that they may make. I will take them to their regular scheduled Vet visits, if needed. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies! Mia
Reviews
Mia was amazing with my two pups. She sent frequent updates, played with them, flagged anything she noticed in their health, and even worked with them on their barking issues :) Would 100% recommend her!
Mia was such a thoughtful sitter. She’d send multiple updates & pictures throughout the day! She was so kind and sweet to our dog Orion, going on multiple long walks & even helping with his dog reactivity. She is seriously the kindest person ever & will love your pet as though they were her own!
Mia is wonderful! She's great with my two cats and their various meds and dietary requirements. She's timely, caring, conscientious, and has made me feel extremely comfortable in having a reliable sitter when I'm away. She's also lovely to talk with! Highly recommend!
mia is quite frankly amazing, her updates and photos make me feel so safe and sound that she’s the one watching my pets and i would trust her no matter what.

In your home, I find it is important to mimic your own schedule as much as possible to maintain consistency. This reduces separation anxiety and I try to sneak a bit more play time. All pets need to have not only their physical energy levels met, they need to have intellectual stimulation as well. Hide & seek of treats is a fun activity for them. I also have personal experiences in keeping & maintaining a kosher kitchen even though I am no longer personally observant.

Availability
I own & manage an exclusive pet transportation with a team of 4 travel specialists. We all work remotely and I would adjust my schedule to the needs of pets who have acute anxiety issues or other health issues. Otherwise my time away from your pets would include limited appointments, shopping, checking my own home and coffee during work day.
