I hesitated to contact someone who was new and didn't have reviews yet, but Miranda's professional experience made me decide to contact her, and BOY, am I glad I did! She came by a few days before my vacation to meet my dogs and so I could explain their care. The minute she met them, she got down on the floor (they're short dogs) and immediately started petting them and playing with them. They're normally shy, but they LOVED her immediately! Miranda was incredibly diligent and looked after them as if they were her own. Not to mention, she's so knowledgeable about animals...she even knows how to give them CPR.! I could not have asked for a nicer or more responsible person; she kept in touch with me throughout and posted pics of my dogs each day, even though I didn't ask for it. She makes my life so much easier...at last, I can go out of town without worrying! Thanks, Miranda!
