“Miranda was amazing with our 2 pups! We have one dog who is a rescue and afraid of strangers. We are very mindful who we leave him with, and hired Miranda for 3 drop in visits to our house. By Miranda's 3rd visit he was best friends with her! Very professional, communicative and sent us a ton of photos while we were out of town.”

About: When my husband and I moved in together 5 years ago, we decided to foster dogs knowing that we were not ready for the lifelong commitment of a pet of our own. I was raised in Raleigh with cats and backyard chickens, and he was raised on an NC farm with cats, dogs, chickens, and goats. We both LOVE animals and decided to foster with Australian Shepherds Furever Fostering agency during the pandemic. We successfully took in, trained, and found homes for 5 wonderful dogs - each with different needs and have helped out with other dogs in the agency. When we were no longer able to take on the full commitment of fostering, we transitioned to dogsitting and have cared for 1-2 dogs at a time over the past 4 years. Currently, we do not have a foster or a dog or our own at our house and are available to dogsit and care for other animals. We especially love caring for senior dogs and dogs who like to go on runs and hikes. I typically am available 3 days a week and any doggy daycare guests I have with me will have more full attention to follow me around, go for walks and play in our backyard, and occasionally go on field trips to a public park, cafes, or meetup with another dog friend. I bake homemade dog treats frequently as well and the dogs love to help bake! I have used martingale collars and harnesses on all of our fosters and have extra leashes. I have a fully fenced backyard and 2 different sized crates available if needed. My house is fully puppy-proofed, I have a variety of different types of dog toys for both mental and physical stimulation, and I am very flexible with accommodating special requests for all of our dog guests. When I am available to care for dogs on my days off or weekends, I am fully available to be with them and I love to take backyard fetch and potty breaks in the morning and afternonon and longer walks/runs at lunch or in the evening. For dogs that are boarding with me, we like to plan dog-friendly activities in the evenings whether that's going to a dog park, a cafe, watching a movie at home on the couch together, or doing house projects. I love having a dog by my side at all times, and they love it too. All dogs will receive a full sniff-tour of our house and yard upon arrival so that they are comfortable with their surroundings. Our house has been rigorously puppy-proofed for safety and our backyard is fully fenced. Whenever dogs go out into the backyard, I am out there with them to supervise, play, and ensure that they are safe at all times. All dogs in my care will receive positive-reinforcement for good behavior and maybe a treat or two with permission of the owner.

About: With over a decade of dedicated pet care experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to ensure the well-being of your beloved furry companions. From dogs and cats to small mammals, I've cared for a wide variety of pets with love and attention to detail. Whether it's providing nourishing meals, engaging in stimulating playtime, helping abandoned new born kitties, or simply offering comforting cuddles, I prioritize the individual needs and preferences of each animal in my care. With a passion for animals and a commitment to excellence, you can trust me to provide the highest standard of care for your furry family members, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Sunday-Monday I am available to do full time. Whether it’s in home, on a hike. I am more than pleasured to offer 24 hour supervision. Tuesday-Saturday, anytime after 6pm. I can do overnight but would have to leave the following morning for my main job. In my home, I ensure a safe and welcoming environment for pets entrusted to my care. This includes providing comfortable sleeping areas, access to fresh water and nutritious food, and ample opportunities for play and exercise. I tailor activities to suit each pet's personality and energy levels, whether it's interactive games, leisurely walks, or quiet cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their usual routines and surroundings to minimize stress and ensure continuity of care. This involves following feeding schedules, administering any necessary medications, and providing companionship and attention tailored to each pet's needs. I also take care of household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and maintaining cleanliness to ensure both the pet and the home are well cared for in the owner's absence. Overall, whether in my home or a client's home, my approach to pet care is rooted in compassion, responsibility, and a genuine love for animals. I prioritize the well-being and happiness of each pet under my care, striving to create a safe, nurturing environment where they can thrive.

About: Animal lover with a home to share. I have had pets since I was little and promote positive reinforcement with my pet training. I live on 3.75 acres with access to many walking trails right from the house and love to have a good excuse to get outside through out the day. I work for myself from home so I am very flexible and do not have any other pets that live with me at the moment. I would be happy to help you out when you are away! I work for myself from home so I am very flexible with my availability. I enjoy exercise so an excuse to walk a dog a few times a day works great with my schedule. I have a fenced portion of my yard and do not have any other pets in the home. I am clean and do not have a lot of clutter so there is not a lot of stuff for pets to get into.

“We have had Sarah look after out two cats several times over the past couple of years. We can tell our cats love Sarah because of the pictures she sends every day. Both cats try to take over Sarah's lap, and whoever doesn't have her lap is very close by trying to get pets from her available hand. Sarah has always been professional, communicating with us when necessary, and fondly loving on our cats while we are away. We feel free to enjoy our time away since there are no worries about our kitties thanks to Sarah!”

About: When I was younger we didn’t have a dog of our own so we would dog sit! I love caring for other animals and especially enjoy going on long walks with them. I work taking a walk in my schedule on a daily basis regardless how busy I am. Which Im usually not that busy. There’s always time for your pup! I had to move apart from my dog but when I’m with her we go on at least two walks a day. Also when I was growing up we would dog sit where I learned a lot about special breeds and caring for each.
