Pet care experience
I have had family dogs and cats for over 15 years, have had my own dog for 6 years and a pair of rats and hamsters, and have worked professionally in an animal shelter in Kansas where we provided care for dogs and cats of all ages (newborn to end of life) and special care for those with special needs as well as boarding for animals with owners needing a trusted provider to care for their animals while they’re unavailable. I often pet sit for family and friends and I am mostly always at home.
Reviews
Wonderful sitter, she took great care of Kylee and provided many updates. Would love to rebook.
Miriam was very responsive and very accommodating. My dog came home in good shape. She let me know how well he did with regard to play and eating. I would certainly recommend her to anyone.
Miriam did a great job! I really appreciated the updates and photos. Our dog seemed to have a good time also.
She was very patient with Suga and made her feel comfortable. Loved all the pictures and updates I received as well.
About Miriam G.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Apartment living so no yard but yes to two closed-off balconies that would be available for pets to use to look out and relax at while staying with us, also walking trail in the back and a fenced-in dog park in our apartment complex. When inside — which will be the case unless owner wants otherwise such as indoor/outdoor use of the balcony, pets are allowed in all areas of the house unless closed off to my own son but usually wherever my dog is allowed any pet is allowed, also allowed on beds and couches but not counters or tables (pet will be redirected no big deal). Water is available all day, I do not leave food out for my own dog but have an area your pet can stay at if needing a longer time to eat any meals given, if pet is a grazer that can be accommodated for as well. If a bath is needed due to accidents it will be given if pet is friendly and allows me to bathe them. I will also work with pets that aren’t spayed/neutered since my own dog is spayed but will ensure no female or male is being taken care of by me unless one is fixed or they’re all males/all females being taken care of that day. I will mostly be seeing small-medium sized dogs for pet sitting.
Home
Information Miriam G. would like to know about your pet
Any specific needs, such as medications or do they wear diapers or special leashes/harness, do they wear muzzles when on walks. Is there any behavioral habits that I should be on the look out for when they are getting anxious or stressed out while on walks or when around other people/pets. Do they get along with other pets and also with children? If needed to be separated it can be accommodated so better to know beforehand. If there is anything I could know that will help your pet have the best time with me please let me know when we discuss setting up care, I will try my best to accommodate for them.
A typical day
There are tons of toys available, both soft and durable. Walks are a given, there is area around the apartment complex where we can walk that’s more private as well as the public walking trail we visit often. I will often open my balcony doors to allow my own dog to walk in and out as she pleases. We will spend lots of time watching TV together or listening to music. During my son’s nap time it’s usually pet time and that just means cuddles on the couch or the floor for my dog/your pet.

Availability
I currently stay at home. I have my own dog, my corgi. As well as my 2-year old son, loves our dog and has done well with other dogs that have stayed with us. I have a walking trail behind my apartment so we frequently gear up and go on walks around the neighborhood, although we also enjoy days in — just depends on what we feel like doing that day. I have plenty of time to give scheduled medication or food or exercise or diaper changes if needed for pets.
