I am a loving pet owner, with many past animals (cats, guinea pigs, fish), and now a 7 year old greyhound. From this I know all about the love and attention that a pet needs. I have been a regular dog sitter for the past couple years, and have also extended my care to cats and small animals. I've watched pets of all sizes, and gained a lot of experience with house-sitting (additionally watering plants and taking in mail) and daily care of different pets.
I started at Petsmart as a professional dog bather for a year, and afterwards I spent my recent years at different private grooming salons for dogs, cats and small animals. I have learned to handle dogs of all sizes and temperament, and am also well versed on grooming needs, and would happily assist with those matters as well.This year I gained my pet first aid/CPR certificate that familiarized me with the signs of distress in a pet as well as what to do in different emergencies; so you can be sure your pet will be safe with me! :-)
I have experience with anxious dogs as my own dogs (American Greyhound, Spanish Galgo) were rehabilitated from a race track and hunting pack and still have a lot of anxiety. I have endless patience with these types of dogs and am always happy to care for them as well.
Recently, I was trained as a feline grooming assistant where I learned all about the different cat breeds and their grooming needs. I have worked with kittens, adults and senior cats, and after over-seeing hospice care for my own senior cat - who had arthritis and chronic kidney disease - I am familiar with how to handle stiff/injured pals and how to administer many different medications/fluids! Additionally, if your cat/dog has been groomed in the past and you are interested in a clean up, please feel free to inquire about the type of services I may be able to provide specific to your pet! And finally, of course, with any visit your furry friends will receive lots of cuddles (if they so please).
*All small animals are welcome as well* - Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Lizards, and other exotics.
Great stay with Miah! 😀
