Highlights
Pet care experience
We'll learn some cool tricks!
I've owned 3 dogs so far and hope to own plenty more. I have experience in training and grooming. I used to work for petsmart and got the chance to learn a lot more about dogs and pets in general. My classes consisted of big and small dogs as well as excited dogs or dogs that needed more patience and time. I was a groomer for about 3 years and also worked with a wide range of dogs but I always enjoyed giving the pups a new look:) Working for petsmart taught me how much more pets have to offer. I've learned to be the best trusted partner in caring for pets even the ones that aren't mine! Hope to get to have a chance to get to know your pups.

Ratings and reviews
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Miriam and the care she gives Ozzy. What truly sets her apart is the genuine love and connection she builds with the animals she works with — and Ozzy absolutely adores her. From the very beginning, it was clear that grooming for Miriam isn’t just about technique — it’s about trust. She takes the time to make Ozzy feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Grooming can be stressful for some pets, but with Miriam, Ozzy is calm, relaxed, and completely at ease. That peace of mind means everything. Her attention to detail is incredible. Ozzy always looks fantastic — clean, perfectly groomed, and happy — but more importantly, he feels good. Miriam is gentle, patient, and incredibly intuitive. She reads his energy, respects his boundaries, and works with so much care and warmth. What’s most special is the mutual love between them. Ozzy lights up when he sees her, and it’s obvious the feeling is mutual. She treats him like he’s her own, and that kind of sincerity can’t be taught. If you’re looking for someone who combines skill, professionalism, and a truly loving heart for animals, Miriam is that rare find. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their furry family member.
I had the privilege of working with Miriam for over five years, and I can confidently say she is one of the most caring, compassionate, and dedicated professionals I’ve ever met. She has a truly special connection with animals. Dogs naturally gravitate toward her calm, reassuring energy, and she has an incredible ability to make even the most nervous dogs feel safe and comfortable. Miriam is friendly, dependable, and deeply committed to the wellbeing of every dog in her care. Anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate dog walker would be lucky to have her. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Miriam has been working with dogs for quite a few years already. I have a dog that’s quite difficult at times but Miriam has always managed to walk and groom my dog with no issues. She’s very good at reading dog behaviors and is vocal about never pushing a dog past their limits if she feels it will stress or harm them in any way.
