Friendly, reliable pet-sitter
Pet care experience
Welcome to my profile! Ive worked for Rover for over 5 years and have over 15 years of experience caring for pets. I have cared for young to senior pets. I am gentle and firm and able to give consistent commands for dogs and believe in positive reinforcement whenever possible. I am an empathetic person, and do my best to read cues to know when an animal is unhappy or unwell. I aim to give your pet the best care possible and take your pets needs seriously to accommodate as best I can. Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. I hope you’ll consider me as a caretaker for your best friend. 🐾
Reviews
Miriam is great and keeps me informed about everything. Super easy to work with and good with my standoff ish dog!
Miriam was great with our dog, Alvin. Thanks Miriam ??
Miri is a genuine and kind person. Our dog, an incredible judge of character, was warm to her right away. She asked great questions to get to know our pup and her needs and immediately began working with her and gaining trust. 10/10 would recommend.
Thank you so much! She can bring sticks home lol I’m happy to clean up after her. Also she’s really good off leash so when you feel comfortable it’s all good ?

Safety, trust & environment
I find that animals are typically most comfortable in their own homes. I don’t offer boarding for this reason. When I visit I like to know where their favourite toys are and understand how they like to engage with people (ie do they like attention, do they prefer to be ignored but close by?)
Information Miriam D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know your pets’ unique needs and commands! I prefer to schedule a meet and greet before walking your dog. This is so that the dog feels a bit more comfortable and we can start to built trust right off the bat.
A typical day
A typical day looks like playing with your pup or cat to the degree that they like. It involves feeding them, potentially giving them treats and generally being around them so they feel less alone. I like to take dogs on walks to places that they feel the most comfortable, so familiar places are prioritized. I don’t typically take the dogs off leash for safety reasons.
