My schedule is free at the moment (with a few exceptions), so feel free to reach out to see if a day / time works. I may be limited in long distance dog walking and high intensity play between June 3rd to June 15th, but standard walks and light play or visits to dog parks are fine.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a spacious apartment with lots of room for animals to roam or lounge. There is a back deck and narrow fenced in area behind the building for lounging. The area I am in (Andersonville) is very dog friendly and walkable. I would suggest bringing blankets, beds, toys, etc as I don't have these items in my space at the moment. I am home all day / night for caretaking and happy to spend as much time with them as they need. If your pet requires special attention, just let me know and I will ensure they receive it. I also provide pictures and regular updates!

I love working with tricky pets! 💛

Pet care experience

I was raised on a farm in Bloomington, Indiana where our family would own or foster upwards of 6 dogs at any given time, of all sizes and breeds. I am familiar with rescues requiring extra patience and understanding, service dogs, large dogs, and breeds that have unique instincts + needs, such as herding dogs. I have also been a cat owner for over two decades (no cats in my apartment currently) and work especially well with cats with attitude, or who are known to be finicky in temperament. I can adapt to whatever special needs your animal might have and ensure they have the best care possible.

Miriam is an extremely attentive and thoughtful sitter! We felt very comfortable leaving our cats with her over the long weekend. She was communicative, helpful, and accommodating. The best sitter we’ve ever had!
