hello, I'm Mira - im 53, vegetarian non smoker- my job is an inlineonline family therapis - so I am mostly at home.

I'm a very observant and gentle animal lover - superb with shy, nervous and difficult cats. I had 15 cats - I ran a farm on my own for 7 years. 45 years of cat care experience. Can give medications, inject etc. very fast to spot any health issues or behaviour changes in pets that need attending. I will take extremely attentive care of your furry friends.

I currently live with a 50kg pitbull and a Maine coone - I prefer schnautzers and Spaniels, schitzus and retrievers... 

I am used to sleeping with a few animals on top of me, Also experienced with ducks, birds, chickens, tortoises, rabbits, Guinea pigs, donkeys (can train and tame), some knowledge of sheep, goats & horses. I can care for most animals, dogs ok if they’re smallish and friendly. Also plants indoor or outdoor not a problem. Can do vegetables, pretty much anything farm oriented.

Can drive a yute, ride-onlawn mower, traktor. Ok with bulls and electric fences - my first house sit in Taranaki was a 300acre dairy farm!

Im British/German, postgrad educated, work from home, love being at home. I like things to be clean and tidy. Very quiet, vegetarian, non-smoker and like walking. Ive been in New Zealand1.5 years, the first 6 months pet sitting, and really missing living with more animals. Pet-sitting is a way for me to get to know new people, the different landscapes, and all whilst having my favourite company. (ie animals !!) i love going for ling walks in the bush or beach with a dog or two

You can ask me to take very specific care of your pets and I will make notes and do exactly as you say. I don't think you're likely to find many people more attentive and dedicated to making sure the animals are happy. I take it very seriously.

Here's a referrence from a long-term house sit client in Spain:
To whom it may concern,
Mira has worked for me at my Villa on Menorca many times housesitting my 30 Cats & Golden retriever..She is a total asset & im so grateful that I found her. She is amazing with the animals & I feel totally at ease when I go away,knowing that they are all being well cared for & loved. She did my cat's injections and gave them all their individual favourite flavour meals. Quite a feat with 30 cats!
She is totally trustworthy & diligent.
I can only highly recommend Mira..

Yours Sincerely
Zoe Rowe Thomas
