I'll love your dog like my own ❤️
Pet care experience
I'm a Salisbury University graduate excited to spend time with your pets! I grew up with dogs, a cat, and a variety of small animals including hamsters, mice, rats, and guinea pigs. I have a 5 year old Australian Shepherd and a horse, and my parents have a Great Dane and Lab, so I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I also have some experience with training and if your dog needs additional work and/or structure in their life, I am happy to provide that. I will care for your pets as if they were my own and they will receive tons of love and attention. I send photos with every visit and will do my best to ensure you are completely comfortable trusting me with your furry family. ***𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗣-𝗜𝗡𝗦 & 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗦*** I'm available for walking and drop-ins for those who need their pets to be cared for during the day. When scheduling, I offer you a small window of time (2-3 hours) rather than an exact arrival time. For example, if you request 12pm, I may arrive as early as 11am or as late as 1pm, depending on the rest of my route for that day. If your pet is on a strict schedule, you may be better off reaching out to a different sitter. I also offer 2-4 hour "adventure walks" where I pick up your pup and take them on a hike or other adventure alongside my own dog, and/or another client dog based on compatible temperaments and client preferences. Feel free to ask for more details if this is something you're interested in! ***𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚*** House sitting includes 12 hours overnight and 1-2 drop-ins during the day, depending on my schedule. Please keep in mind that I have other pets to care for during the day and will not be available to stay in your home 24/7. Some sitters offer this option - I unfortunately do not. But you can rest assured your pet will be left alone for no more than 8 hours at a time (often less). ***𝗕𝗢𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚*** At this time, I only accept crate-trained (able to settle quietly in a crate) dogs up to 50lbs in my home for boarding. All dogs are crated when unsupervised and at mealtimes. My townhome has a small, fenced, gravel backyard for your pups to potty and play. I am out of the house for roughly 6 hours each day for my daily visits, so pups who are used to spending the day home alone will be most comfortable here. Rest assured though - they will get plenty of love in the mornings and evenings! When requesting boarding I will send you a questionnaire and if it seems like a good fit, I will invite you to meet me in the neighborhood or at a nearby park. I am not currently allowing tours inside the home, but I am happy to send you a video tour. I have a slow introduction process and dogs from different households are usually kept separated to limit opportunity for overstimulation and potential "disagreements" between dogs. Basic grooming services (nail trim, bath, brush, blow dry) and extra walks/field trips can also be added to boarding stays for an additional fee.

Reviews
Miranda was so professional, sweet, and took my pup on nice active walks every day while I was away. I highly recommend her. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer. Thanks again!
Miranda is fantastic!
Miranda was absolutely wonderful with our fur-child. She took exceptional care of her and sent a handful of very cute photos each day! If you’re searching for a dependable, trustworthy and truly attentive dog-sitter with great communication on top of it all, your search has ended with this one. She even gave us a baggie of treats along with a thank you note at the end of the watch. Such a sweet touch! Highly recommend and we’ll be using her in the future, for sure!
Always the best!! Josie and Nestle love her and always look so happy in the pictures. Thanks so much for always being there for my pups when I’m gone :)

Safety, trust & environment
I meet & greet with every client to learn their pet's personal needs and any specific preferences you may have for your pet's daily life. Emergency contacts are collected, including your preferred veterinarian, and detailed notes are kept regarding each animal in my care to ensure everyone is kept happy and healthy until you return home - whether you are only away for a work day or on vacation for multiple days.

Information Miranda M. would like to know about your pet
I will need to know what training they have (and if you'd like me to work with them on anything), any special needs they have (reactivity/aggression, health issues), etc. No breed preferences, I love them all! I love all sizes of dogs as well, but if you've got an unruly large dog I may not be equipped to handle them (I'm a small person, haha!).
A typical day
I am happy to take your dog on walks, play in the yard, and, if you'd like, take them to parks or on hikes! I enjoy doing training exercises and trick training as well, if your pup needs some mental stimulation.
