In Home Sitting for Your Fur Baby ♡
Hi, I'm Miranda, a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of experience in pet care, including in-home sitting and drop in visits for cats and dogs and even the occasional exotic fish or bird. Based in North Port, Venice and Sarasota areas. I believe pets thrive best in their own familiar environment—free from the stress of kennels or boarding facilities. That's why I specialize in personalized, overnight in-home pet sitting, ensuring your furry family member gets the love, exercise, and routine they crave while you're away. I've fostered many rescues in my home. I have skills in everything from oral medication administration to basic behavioral training. Whether it's daily walks in the neighborhood, playtime with toys, or cozy cuddle sessions on the couch, I tailor my care to your pet's unique personality and needs. I also provide daily photo and video updates so you can stay connected! Past clients rave about my reliability and the peace of mind I bring. When I'm not watching fur babies, you'll find me at the beach, hanging out with my 2 rescue pups or adventuring. Ready to book a meet-and-greet? Message me! Let's keep your pet happy, healthy, and home—where they belong! 🐾

Safety, trust & environment
I’ve been a dedicated animal lover and sitter for over two decades! My journey began on a Colorado ranch where I looked after everything from pups to poultry (and the occasional iguana). Since then, I’ve spent years fostering dogs and building a loyal base of repeat clients who trust me with their homes and 'fur babies.' You can count on me to provide the same love and care I give my own pets, while always leaving your home exactly as I found it—clean and tidy
Ratings and reviews
Miranda is a great sitter! She is very communicative, frequently shares photos, and is mindful of our dog's routine, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We came home to a relaxed, happy pup, and the regular updates made it easy to enjoy our time away without worrying. We will definitely be using Miranda again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!
Miranda is a wonderful sitter. She was communicative, considerate and our pups had a great time relaxing with her. Thanks so much Miranda. Highly recommend her as a sitter.
Miranda and Ryan went above and beyond... first I couldn't get up their snowy driveway in my sedan, so Ryan spent half an hour to help tow me up the driveway! Then he met me in Fairplay later that day to drop my dog off. Best of all, Miranda and Ryan were super caring and considerate with my dog, who is very skittish. They have lots of room outside for dogs to run and play. I am so thankful for all the help! 100% recommended.
Miranda was my lifesaver! Last minute plans for my two pups fell through while on a weekend getaway and she came to the rescue going above and beyond! She treated my two like they were her own sending regular updates with pictures. She has fostered several dogs over the years so she knows how to handle a variety of temperaments and breeds - I felt very comfortable leaving my two with her and she was so sweet. My pups also loved her fenced in backyard and snuggles. Highly, highly recommend Miranda to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies!
Miranda has been a great sitter for my cats in a time of need. We feed our cats twice a day, so can’t just leave them with a bowl of food as they’d eat it all at one time. Miranda has stayed at my house a few times with them and gives them lots of love and feeds them as required. It’s been really helpful that she can work from any location, so she was able to stay with them at my place where they are most comfortable. I would definitely recommend Miranda to anyone needing help with their fur babies!

Schedule
Looking for a reliable sitter in Gulf Gate? I work locally Mon–Thu and can easily swing by for drop-ins before, during, or after my workday. I’m also happy to stay at your place! I’ll be out of your house during the day for work, but I make it a priority to come home at lunch to check on your fur babies and make sure they’re doing great.
