Pet lover with vet med experience!
Pet care experience
I have personal and professional experience caring for dogs, cats, a variety of small mammals, reptiles, birds, and more! I have worked in a high volume no kill shelter for 4 years giving me hands on experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, ages, and levels of behavioral development. I have some experience with training and light grooming, and am great at teaching leash manners. I manage strong pups well, so big boys and girls are no problem! I have vet med experience and am comfortable and trained in giving insulin shots, fluids, oral medications, and ear and eye ointments. I am happy to house sit when I'm able. I’ll travel reasonable distances of around 20 miles or less to come take care of your furry (or scaley/feathery/or otherwise) family members. From feeding and watering, to walking, playing, and teaching, I can guarantee a positive, attentive, enriching experience for your babies! Feel free to contact me to learn more!
Reviews
Amazing, as always!
Miranda was so kind and attentive to our grumpy old cat. She was fabulous with med administration and communication. And cleaning up! Literally the perfect sitter. She even watered our Christmas tree and brought mail in! Like, whaaaat? Can't thank her enough.
Miranda was so professional and kind on our first visit to meet our dog. She did a wonderful job taking care of sweet girl.
Miranda demonstrates a passion for animals and caring for them. We booked her to drop in and let our dog Teddy out and make sure he was cared for while we were on vacation. She showed up for our agreed upon schedule and more than met our expectations for care. She sent us regular updates about him and was accommodating to our requests. We would definitely book her in the future if we need someone to care for an animal.

I am unable to care for dogs in my own home due to my own senior dogs preferring the company of humans. In a client's home, I am able to fit my care to your pet's natural everyday routine!
Information Miranda W. would like to know about your pet
I have a special place in my heart for big dogs, having grown up with them, but all dogs have my love! Things I need to know before pet sitting are behavioral quirks and special medical needs. Are they funny about feeding time? Any places they don’t like to be touched? Are they leash reactive? Do they need medicines? Frequent bathing? Mobility aids? Is there anything special you want me to know about them? All of these things help me provide the best care possible for your baby.
A typical day
I love playing tug of war, engaging your pup with treats and toys, and playing chase! I'll be happy to walk around your neighborhood with your pup following the nose! Then, we'll cuddle and hang out!

Availability
I work 10 hour shifts 4 days a week for a local animal shelter. Depending on the distance, I can drop in during my lunch break for midday potty breaks as well as seeing your pets before or after work. My schedule is variable and updates on a month by month basis. I'm looking forward to caring for your babies!
