About Mia

I'm a local in the Potts Point area. I currently work from home 5 days a week


My services include doggy daycare and walking. If I am dog sitting for you I am working from home, and with your pets all day with lots of opportunity for regular bathroom breaks and time built in to walk and play with your dog. If required I am comfortable giving dogs medication (non injectable) once I have been shown how by the owner and can feed / give access to fresh water. I do not offer any training or grooming. I am only open to overnight stays once I have done daycare with your pets, and would only have one dog at a time.


Pet care fits easily into my daily/weekly routine as I work from home and live alone so can be really flexible/available around my commitments.

I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with floorboards, it’s not huge, but I live near parks and can take your dog out for regular bathroom breaks and a long walk in the middle of the day. Owners should bring a dog bed or cushion for dog to sleep on.

There are pictures of plants in my apartment but I would put any plants harmful to animals in the bathroom and out of reach while dog-sitting.

I love animals (I actually used to volunteer at Taronga zoo) and have always had dogs growing up, including mixed, kelpie and blue heelers but unfortunately, my place is too small for a dogs fulltime, so I don't feel right having my own dog in a 1 bedroom. I have an older cat who's the perfect company while I'm chilling on the couch, but it would be awesome to have a dog to walk to get out of the house more regularly while I'm working from home - mornings, lunch or evenings all work well.

I have looked after x2 Blue American staffies regularly (including for a month while the owners were overseas). I'm in good shape and have lots of energy (and patience) to keep up with any dogs for walking and house visits. The length of the walk would depend on the dog’s age, breed and energy. I would take dogs for at least 1hr round walk each day, or two 1/2hr walks. Can extend to longer if dog is an energetic breed or bigger.

I'm up for doggy daycare while I WFH, and potential overnight stays for smaller or older and calm dogs, but would like to meet your dog first and see if they get along with my pet (and check they have up-to-date vaccinations of course!) before having them at my place to make sure our animals get along and they are house trained - I have a small park across the road from me to take them to for bathroom breaks throughout the day, and not a far walk from Rushcutters bay park. I also have a car to go to other suburbs or to bigger parks on weekends too.
