Availability
I currently work part-time Wednesday through Sunday from approximately 9:00am–4:30pm, with shorter midday hours on Wednesdays. I’m available for pet care every evening, as well as mornings before work. Mondays and Tuesdays are fully open, which makes them ideal for daytime visits, longer walks, or extended care. I’m always transparent about my schedule and happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs to make sure we’re a good fit.

I’d love to keep you in the loop of your pets care. I will send you a picture each visit and update you on how they’re doing. I will make sure to follow any protocols set in place for me while I am there.
Information Miranda J. would like to know about your pet
To make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for, I like to learn as much as possible about their routine and individual needs before our time together. Helpful information includes feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications or health conditions, and any special routines that help your pet feel secure. I also appreciate knowing about your pet’s personality and behavior, including how they do with new people, other animals, and unfamiliar environments. Please let me know about any triggers, anxieties, reactivity, or safety concerns so I can provide the best possible care and avoid stressful situations. It’s also helpful to know your expectations around walks, time alone, house rules (furniture, crates, etc.), and emergency contact information. My goal is always to keep your pet’s experience as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away.
A typical day
Each visit is designed to match your dog's needs. Some dogs we will play with their favorite toys, others we might just curl up and spend some time together. Some walks might be short and sweet for older, low-energy pups, for others, it might be a longer, stimulating walk to get all their energy out. I look forward to discussing your specific pets needs prior to the visit!

Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and have grown up in a home with dogs since I was five years old. I cared for my own chihuahua–pug mix, who lived to be 18 years old. This gave me extensive hands-on experience with both daily care and the unique needs of senior dogs. I also have several years of hands-on experience caring for cats. I’ve had my own cats for about six years, including one with chronic pancreatitis who requires frequent medication administered through a topical ear ointment. Caring for a pet with ongoing medical needs has made me very attentive, patient, and comfortable supporting animals who need extra care or special routines. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve provided pet sitting for several repeat customers, caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, including a senior terrier, a pitbull, and a husky. This has helped me become comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual temperament, whether they need gentle companionship, structured routines, or more active engagement. Because I travel occasionally myself and rely on pet sitters for my own animals, I also understand the experience from an owner’s perspective. I know how important clear communication, reliability, and regular updates are when someone else is caring for a beloved pet. I make it a priority to follow routines closely, respect each owner’s preferences, and provide thoughtful updates and photos so you can feel comfortable, informed, and confident while you’re away. My approach to pet care is calm, attentive, and respectful of each animal’s comfort level. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I aim to create a safe, relaxed, and positive experience for every animal in my care. Thank you for considering me. I’d love to meet you and your pet! Miranda :)

Reviews
Miranda is an awesome dog sitter! She always goes above and beyond to ensure my little diva’s comfort and happiness throughout the entire duration of the sitting period. Miranda has a genuine love for animals which is evident in every interaction with my dog Sasha. I have absolute peace of mind whenever I go out of town leaving Sasha in Miranda’s care. I highly recommend Miranda to anyone in need of reliable care for their fur baby!
