Care from someone who actually knows your pet.
Reliable, professional pet care with one familiar face, every visit.
More than just a walk.
Your pet has their own routine, personality, preferences, and quirks. Their care should reflect that.
A familiar face.
When you book Palmer Pup Care, you know who’s showing up. I personally provide your pet’s care, so they get to build a relationship with someone they know and trust.
Care that adapts.
Some days call for a good walk. Others call for extra sniffing, a slower pace, playtime in the yard, or simply some company. I pay attention and adjust when your pet needs something different.
You’re always in the loop.
Every visit includes photos and an update, so you know how your pet is doing and what their visit looked like.
I don’t just know your pets name, I get to know them.
Hi, I’m Mia!
Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Before starting Palmer Pup Care, I spent over five years working at a busy dog daycare and boarding facility, working my way through nearly every role before becoming Assistant Manager. That experience gave me extensive hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, personalities and needs, along with a strong understanding of canine behavior and safety.
I started Palmer Pup Care because I wanted to offer something different: professional, dependable care with the personal connection that pets and their people deserve. Whether I’m stopping by for a midday walk, keeping your pet company while you're away, or taking them out for an adventure, I want them to have someone they know, trust, and are truly excited to see.
As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust goes into choosing someone to care for your pets and your home. My goal is to make that decision any easy one by providing consistent, dependable care and treating every pet as an individual.
I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!

Dog Walks
No two dogs enjoy their walks the same way.
Whether your pup loves a good-paced walk, wants to sniff every mailbox, or prefers to take things slow, their walk is shaped around their pace, routine, and what they need that day.
Walks are booked as 30 or 60 minute visits, allowing time for leashing up, the walk itself, fresh water, and getting your pup settled before I leave.

Sometimes they just need a familiar face to stop by.
Drop in visits keep your pet comfortable and cared for while you’re out, whether that's a few hours, the workday, or longer. Visits can include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box care, medication, playtime or a short walk, and plenty of attention based on your pets needs

Overnight Pet Sitting
Available exclusively to established Palmer Pup Care clients.
For pets who are happiest staying right where they’re comfortable, overnight care lets them remain at home with someone they already know and trust. I’ll keep their usual morning & evening routines as consistent as possible including meals, walks or potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of time together.
3:00pm-8:00am $85/night
Additional pet(s) +$15/night
For multi-night stays, care begins around 3 PM on the first day and ends around 8 AM on the final day. I continue my normal pet care schedule during daytime hours and may leave for scheduled visits, including occasional early morning or evening visits. Additional drop in visits may be added on the first and/or final day if needed.
