Safety, trust & environment
Care is tailored to each pet and the specific service being provided. For dog walks, I focus on safe, structured walks that suit the dog’s energy level and comfort, providing both physical exercise and mental stimulation. For drop-in visits with dogs and cats, care takes place in the pet’s home to maintain their normal routine. Visits include feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, basic cleanup as needed, companionship, and affection. I always prioritize calm, respectful handling and closely follow any instructions provided to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for
Home
Information Miranda H. would like to know about your pet
It’s very important for me to learn about each pet ahead of time. Knowing their personality, routine, likes and dislikes, energy level, and any special needs allows me to tailor care and activities to them, helping them feel comfortable, safe, and well understood from the start
A typical day
Fun activities are always tailored to the individual pet and what they enjoy most. This may include playtime with favorite toys, gentle games, enrichment activities, relaxed walks, or quiet companionship for pets who prefer a calmer approach. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and energy level so activities are enjoyable, appropriate, and stress-free rather than one-size-fits-all

20 Years Experience with Animals
Pet care experience
About Me My name is Miranda, and I have over 20 years of professional experience working with dogs of many breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes working with rescue dogs from a wide range of situations, with a strong focus on rehabilitation and behavior support. I previously worked as a Canine Behavioural Analyst with the Hamilton–Burlington SPCA, where I was responsible for assessing dogs and determining the most suitable home environment for each individual animal. This experience has given me a strong foundation in understanding canine behavior, stress signals, and individual care needs. I am happy to answer any questions and provide further details. Please feel free to reach out by message or phone. Home Environment Children live in the home and are respectful, calm, and experienced around animals. All interactions with pets are closely supervised, and rough or inappropriate behavior toward animals is not permitted. Maintaining a safe, calm environment for every pet in our care is a top priority. How We Care for Your Pet Dogs Dog Sitting While your dog is staying with us, we aim to replicate the structure and routine of their home as closely as possible. Feeding schedules, walk times, rest periods, and activity levels are customized to suit your dog’s individual needs. This approach helps reduce stress and allows dogs to settle into the new environment quickly and comfortably. Your dog will be cared for as if they were our own, and you will receive regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Special requests and care instructions are always welcome. Drop-In Visits Drop-in visits are ideal for short trips, busy days, or when your pet simply needs some extra attention. These visits take place in your home, allowing your pet to remain in a familiar environment. Services include feeding, backyard bathroom breaks, and plenty of affection and companionship. Dog Walks Perfect for busy but responsible pet owners. Walks are approximately 30 minutes in your local neighbourhood and provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation for your dog. Cats Cats are cared for exclusively in their own home. This allows them to maintain their normal routine with minimal disruption. Visits are customized to your cat’s needs and can include feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and companionship.
Reviews
We really enjoyed knowing that our little lady was well looked after. The photos of her we received showed how happy she was. They took us with such short notice and helped us to feel secure in leaving her there. We will definitely use them again
