Safety, trust & environment

Respecting the owners home is of utmost importance to me. Please share with me your house rules and any other important boundaries or wishes you have for me when assisting with your pet! It is my goal to always leave the owners space as I found it.

Information Miranda K. would like to know about your pet

Past medical history (including vaccines), past/present aggression or reactivity, rooms/furniture the pet is not allowed in/on, fun thing/toys the animal enjoys, any other quirks your pet may have that will help us get along!

A typical day

Walks around the neighborhood (even driving to nearby walking trails with owner permission), plays games such as tug-of-war or fetch, lots of one-on-one attention, and even training that the owner wishes for us to work on!

Pet care experience

I have experience with pets ranging from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, hamsters, horses, and more! I have been a life long animal lover. My pets are treated like family, and yours will be, too! I have experience with pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I also have dog training and showing experience. I am comfortable with any size pets, and have experience with all temperaments. Since I have had small animals such as rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs my whole life, I have lots of experience in handling and caring for these critters. When I was younger, I rode and showed horses and owned my own for awhile. I have also cared for other livestock such as sheep, cows, goats, and pigs! I am open to caring for any animals. I have had a passion for animals my entire life, and I am looking forward to helping others care for their pets! Check out my happy clients at Facebook under "Play and Stay By Miranda" ?

Miranda is a trustworthy, informed, and caring pet sitter. I’ve had her help me a few times now, and she is absolutely the person I will first go to if I need to have someone look in on my dog.

Miranda did an amazing job with my two cats! She was very attentive and cared for them greatly. My shy cat warmed up to her, which shows how great she did. Highly recommend her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
