About: Hi, I’m Miranda, but you can call me Manda! If you’re looking for a sitter who truly understands canine behavior, boundaries, and safety, your pet is in experienced hands. I currently work at a professional dog daycare, boarding, and training facility, where my daily routine revolves around managing dogs of all sizes, breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. From high-energy playgroups to sensitive, cautious pups, I spend every day reading body language and creating safe, low-stress environments. Specialized Experience with Complex Behaviors & Medical Care Many dogs don't fit into the typical one-size-fits-all pet care model, and that's okay! Through my facility work, I regularly manage: Medication Administration: Experienced in administering daily oral medications and supplements, including direct pill-pilling when a dog refuses food or pill pockets. Reactivity & Leash Frustration: Safe, vigilant handling for dogs reactive to other dogs, bikes, or strangers on walks. Aggression & Boundary Sensitivity: Working respectfully with dogs who guard resources, dislike being handled or touched unexpectedly, or need slow, low-pressure introductions. Muzzle Support: Calm, positive handling for dogs conditioned to or requiring basket muzzles for safety. Structured Routines: Consistent reinforcement of your existing house rules, crate routines, and training cues. Safety, Communication, & Peace of Mind Whether your dog is easygoing and social, shy and fearful, or requires strict safety protocols, my priority is keeping them calm, secure, and enriched while you’re away. You can count on: Strict attention to doors, gates, and secure leash-handling (double-leash tethering and safety clips when needed). Full respect for your dog's triggers, medical schedule, and daily training plans. Clear, prompt communication with frequent photo and video updates. I require a Meet & Greet prior to any booking to ensure your pup feels comfortable with me and that we’re completely aligned on their care plan. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! Weekly Availability Thursday through Saturday: Fully open and available for pet care, walks, drop-ins, and dedicated one-on-one attention. Sunday through Wednesday: I work 8:00 AM–7:00 PM at a professional dog daycare, boarding, and training facility. On these days, I am currently unavailable, unfortunately. What Your Dog's Day Looks Like Working full-time at a high-volume facility means structured, safe routines are second nature to me: Attentive Care & Enrichment: Daily feedings on your exact schedule, fresh water at all times, potty breaks, and interactive play or quiet snuggles—tailored entirely to what your dog prefers. Behavior-Aware Management: I handle upwards of 20 dogs at a time at my day job, including reactive and sensitive dogs. I maintain that same high standard of vigilance for your pup—reading body language, respecting personal space, and avoiding stressful triggers. Pill & Med Routines: Any oral medications, supplements, or direct pill administration are handled precisely on time. Regular Updates: You’ll get clear, detailed updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing. Working daily in a high-volume boarding and training facility means proactive safety is second nature to me. I don’t just watch dogs; I actively manage their environment to prevent stress, escape, or conflict before it happens: Door & Gate Vigilance: Strict threshold protocols to ensure no darting at exterior doors, gates, or entryways. Secure Handling: Double-checking collars, harnesses, and leashes prior to stepping outside. For reactive or flight-risk dogs, I utilize double-tethering leashes or safety clips. Trigger Management: On walks, I actively scan the surroundings to create distance from other dogs, bikes, or triggers to keep outings low-stress and controlled. Health, Medical, & Facility Knowledge Precise Med Administration: Fully comfortable and experienced with daily oral medications, supplements, and direct pilling for dogs that refuse treats. Body Language Expertise: I constantly read subtle shifts in canine body language—early signs of stress, fatigue, overarousal, or pain—and adjust accordingly. Sanitation & Freshness: High standards for cleanliness, including daily sanitized bowls, fresh water, and clean resting areas. Building Trust with You & Your Dog Tailored to Their Comfort: Whether your dog craves affection or needs distance, I let them set the pace. I never force physical contact on dogs who prefer their own space. Transparent Communication: You will receive regular photo and video updates, along with honest notes about their potty habits, meals, behavior, and overall mood. Mandatory Meet & Greet: Prior to confirming any booking, we will do a thorough meet-and-greet to walk through your dog’s specific quirks, triggers, and safety needs so everyone feels 100% confident.

“Spencer was great with our senior pittie. He worked with her some on her separation anxiety. He arrived on time and left on time. He is a gem of a sitter and we look forward to having him back.”

About: My family has always had a dog. Since I was young I’ve helped care for them. Now I‘ve had a dog of my own since 2020 and I love her to death. I house trained her myself and taught her a few tricks. She loves going on hikes, swimming and playing fetch. She’s extremely spoiled. I work from home full time so will be with the dogs all days long. My schedule is very flexible so I can take them for walks and bathroom breaks as often as needed. I have a 6 year old female dog who is very calm and will keep your dog company. I have a long leash out back that I can let the dogs out and keep them close to the house. It’s not fenced but it is private.

“Mark was awesome and very caring of my fur kids. I had never used this type of service so I wasn’t to sure what to expect. He always kept me updated with messages and pictures and very patient with my lil reluctant Delilah. Thank you again.”

“Dani took good care of Phoebe and my place while I was away. Shes very friendly, gave updates, and followed instructions well. Phoebe and I approve and would happily let Dani pet sit again!”

About: My love for dogs started at a young age. My Grandmother, Mom, and Aunt all raised and bred dogs, growing up with many breeds I have a huge soft spot for ALL dogs! As an adult I adopted my first dog after my son turned 1 year, so he could have a sibling. We go to dog parks frequently and love to make new furr friends. My kids also love dogs, and have learned proper etiquette meeting them. We will treat your pets like they are part of the family. They will love running around the house with our kids, and playing fetch in the backyard. We can bathe and brush your animals or simply show them undivided love and attention. I would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby while you’re away or on vacation. We send lots of pictures and videos of requested. I’m currently a stay at home Mom, with 4 boys and 1 dog. We wake up early to let the dogs out for morning play and potty time. They are then fed and watered. Once they get the morning wiggles out, typically everyone likes to lay down and relax. Now that it’s Summer, we like to go on a walk or to the off leash dog parks in the AM or PM when the sun isn’t at its hottest. If the pups need additional time or brushing we like do do it just before dinner. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog. We live near a dog park which we frequent often. There are several sections depending on dog size.

About: I have always been an animal lover, especially dogs and cats ever since I was little. I have taken care of many pets and have even contributed to rescuing dogs from Puerto Rico. I am currently going to school and working part-time. I have 1 in person class on Mondays and the rest are online and for work I usually work on Saturdays so I have plenty of time to take care of any pets on Tuesdays through Fridays and I can also do Sundays! I always care for a pet as they are my own. I am willing to keep each pets routine as consistent and make sure they aren’t too stressed out. In my home, my four pets have a clean environment, I always give them a lot of attention, play time, frequent exercise, and regular potty breaks. I can follow the owners instructions for feeding schedules, exercise, and any other special requirements that your pet might need. I always make sure that pets have fresh water and food, and also a comfortable place to rest. If I am caring for pets at a clients home, I make sure to always respect their space and maintain the pets daily routine. I will provide walks, playtime, feeding, litter box or yard cleanup, and a lots of loves and cuddles to the pets and make sure they are relaxed and comfortable while the owner is away. I will also send updates and pictures to keep the owners updated and let them know that their pets are happy and cared for!

“Rachel was the best, she helped us last minute for our wedding day when our other sitter cancelled due to a funeral. She was so kind and helpful, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Thank you!”

About: I absolutely love dogs and any animal really, and have over 10 years of pet care experience. I can help with puppies in training and comfortable with senior pups and have some experience with administrating some medications. I will love and care for your pup(s) like my own! I currently work part time close to home making my schedule is very flexible as I am home most of the time. I’m available weekdays and most weekends. I have a very large fenced yard with plenty of grass. My house has a built in doggy door for those pups who can let themselves in and out as much as they’d like. (There is also a back door I’m happy to let them in and out too!) I have a 10 year old lab named Charlie who is very mild tempered and gets along with anyone. We love going on walks and playing in the backyard, so your pup will be well exercised and played with!

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs through walking, in home sitting, while following routines that help our doggos feel safe. What sets me apart is my reliability, clear communication, and the care I take to understand each dog's individual needs, personality, and comfort level rather than treating visits as rushed check-ins. I intentionally structure my daily and weekly routine around pet care, allowing flexibility for walks, check-ins, and in home sitting while ensuring each dog receives reliable, unrushed attention. When caring for pets in a clients home, I treat both the pet and the space with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I take time to learn each dog's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while away. Safety is always my top priority. I double check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions, and I stay attentive during walks and potty breaks to avoid stressful or unsafe situations. I keep a calm, consistent energy so pets feel at ease, especially those who experience anxiety when their owners are away. I'm mindful of your home environment as well, I keep things clean, follow house rules closely, and leave your space just as I found it (or better). I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing and can relax knowing they're in good hands. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, cared for, and happy - and for you to feel confident trusting me in your home.

About: I’ve lived with dogs almost my whole life. I live with a husky and a mini poodle mix. I also have a cat that is now 7yrs. I do have more experience with dogs, but I am so very close to my cat. I can take them for walks or to dog parks, whatever they need. I am working part-time at night at the moment, so my schedule is mostly free. Preferably weekends, but is not required. Can be flexible. I do have a fenced front and backyard. I also have a large kennel in storage if needed. I’d prefer to keep them outside if at my house. Very respectful of others space, I used to nanny and have experience being in others homes.

About: I've grown up around dogs all my life and I currently have on of my own and adore him. I love helping out with any fur baby that needs a little extra attention. I know how to give oral medicine and I've spent a lot of time around senior dogs. If there is anything that would help me better understand your babies please let me know ! I work a a four day 10hour schedule so I'm home 3 days a week. Always free on weekends and if needed on the days that I work I can stop by anytime after 7pm. Just send me a message and I will do my best to check in on your pups through out the week if that is something you are looking for. I have a fenced backyard with lots of space, if your puppy is kennel trained he/she will have easy access to one. We also have a doggy door if that helps them. I have an endless amount of toys and treats if that is something that will make your fur baby feel more at home.

“I will never get tired of coming home to happy and well cared for pets, and I know that's something I always get with M.K. I always know that they're treated at least as well as I treat them and that is something that I find very comforting when I travel.”

About: I have had a love for animals since I can remember. I have 10 years of experience watching pets for family and friends. I am comfortable with providing medications if needed. I’m currently working full time from home, which allows me flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for pet and house sitting 7 days a week including holidays (pending schedule). I have a reliable vehicle and flexible schedule that allows me to travel to clients homes to care for their pets in an environment that they are most comfortable. I’m happy to stay overnight if needed.

“Alaina has been a great pet sitter. Very attentive with our cats, leaves detailed reviews with photos, and works to accommodate last minute changes/requests. She also helped find and wrangle my rambunctious, door opening cats when they decided to plot their great escape. Thank you Alaina!”
