Availability

I work a hybrid work schedule, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pet. I’m happy to drop in during the day while you're at work or away. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, medication, or a bit of playtime, I can fit it into my daily routine with ease. Note: My husband also lives in the home and may be present during bookings. If your pet has shown fear or aggression toward men, please let me know in advance so I can ensure the best setup for everyone’s comfort and safety.

Information Miranda S. would like to know about your pet

I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible! Please share any details about medications, favorite toys, feeding instructions, quirks, or behavioral notes. The more I know, the better I can care for your pet just the way you would.

A typical day

I tailor each day to your pet’s personality and energy level! For active pets, we’ll go on fun walks and play outdoors. For more mellow companions, I’m happy to relax, offer gentle play, or provide some extra TLC. I also love spending time with small pets and exotics—whether that means bunny zoomies or lizard enrichment!

Miranda took great care of Oliver. She was communicative, kind, and responsible. She lives close to a really nice dog park which helps with emptying Oliver’s endless energy!

Miranda watched our kitty for a week. Everything was perfect when we got home, she even brought all of our mail in for us!! I knew she was perfect the moment I met her. She was sweet & respectful and I knew our kitty was in good hands! She’s our go-to from now on..
