Safety, trust & environment

I have a home with 2 floors and a basement. The basement door is always closed because we have a gym and storage down there and wouldn’t want your babies getting caught in anything. But they would have free rein of the whole house. However, if your baby has any limitations that require no access to stairs (for example), we do have a gate so we can block access to the stairs. They can rest on the couch at any time or even rest on my couch in my office or lay at my feet while I work if I’m with them during the week. (We’ve had babies who also wanted to sleep in bed while I work in my office. Lol!!) We have a large fenced in backyard as well. And we go out with them every single time because we pick up their poop each time. So they have an absolutely clean yard to roam in! And also, we worry about the hawks that fly around so we don’t like leaving them outside alone.

A typical day

Your babies will get lots of love and affection each day. We LOVE to play with them. Whether it be getting on the floor rolling around with them, playing fetch or tug-a-war with toys. Whatever type of play makes them happy. And if the weather permits, of course they will have fun running around in the backyard!

Your Babies’ Home Away From Home!

Pet care experience

We have loved dogs all our lives! My mom tells everyone that I think ALL dogs are cute no matter WHAT breed. When we are around them, we love them sincerely with all our hearts and give them so much affection and care. Our primary goal is to make them feel safe and cared for. My husband and I had our 3 since they were babies. Our oldest little girl was a month shy of 17 and just went off to heaven in July 2024. Completely heartbreaking. But we loved her through it and took care of her every step of the way. Puppy “dementia.” So we have lots of experience with the special care and patience needed to treat a sweet baby in that condition. Sasha was our 2nd baby and she went off to heaven in Sept 2026 from Cushing’s Disease. She was also 16. (We literally had her since BIRTH and even bottle fed her!). It was so tough losing them. Ginger is now our one and only and has the biggest personality. LOL! She is 11. We will care for your babies as if they are our own. We will work hard to make sure they ease into feeling comfortable here because we know that just like their hoomans, they have feelings and thoughts and fears too!

Miriam & Terrell were great. Definitely will book again! Daily pictures & updates were sent. My dog was very well taken care of. They had no problem giving my dog her medication on a daily basis.

Miriam and Terrell were fabulous! We could not be happier with our pet’s experience with them. Miriam kept us informed throughout the day with updates, photos, and videos. We have only left our dog with someone other than family once and he is very anxious but once settled with Miriam and Terrell he did good. His anxiety gave him an upset stomach and they jumped in to help him and were not put off by his accidents. This was huge for us being so far away knowing he was being well taken care of and loved in our absence. Thank you Miriam and Terrell for loving and keeping our “baby” safe while we were away. Highly recommend!!!

Miriam and Terrell took such wonderful care of my dogs, Diamond and Tiny, this past weekend! From the moment I dropped them off, I felt completely at ease. They followed all of my care instructions perfectly and truly treated my furbabies like their own. Their home is very dog-friendly, and the large fenced-in yard was a huge bonus—Diamond and Tiny clearly enjoyed spending lots of time outside. I also loved that they were comfortable letting the dogs relax on the furniture and even sleep in the beds, which made them feel right at home. Communication was excellent—I received multiple pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. And the report card at pickup? Such a thoughtful and fun touch! I really appreciated that extra level of care and detail. I can tell Diamond and Tiny were happy, loved, and well cared for. I would absolutely book with Miriam and Terrell again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch sitters! —Litisha, Diamond & Tiny 🐾

THIS IS A STAR SITTER! Mimi and Terrell took care of my baby over the weekend. I cannot put into words how great they were. We got endless pictures and videos. One video included Terrell walking in from work and greeting the pups as if they were his own gave me full confidence that my pup received all the love she deserves while we were away. Mimi thinks of all the details down to putting a donut around my puppy neck so she couldn’t escape from the yard. I would definitely use them again and again. Thank you so much!
