About Me

I just really like helping people.

I'm Mia. I'm 17, I'm a senior at Federal Way High School, and somehow I ended up with a little business doing things for my neighbors — walking dogs, running errands, helping people out when they need it.

Honestly it kind of happened by accident. But now it's mine, and I take it seriously.

How it started.

When I was 15, my neighbor Mrs. Kim needed someone to walk her dog while she had knee surgery. She asked me and I said sure. I showed up on time, sent her a photo after every walk, texted her when I was done. She told people.

A few months later I was walking three dogs, picking up groceries for a family down the street, and helping an older couple figure out their new phones. I don't know, it didn't really feel like a job. It just felt like being a good neighbor.

"I just show up when I say I will. That's honestly most of it."

I found out about MarketFoundry through a workforce program and they helped me actually make it official — real website, real pricing, real business. This summer I'm going all in on it.

Rover and TaskRabbit are fine but they're strangers. I'm not a stranger. I'm the person down the street who already knows your dog's name.

What I believe in.

These aren't marketing words. They're the reason my clients keep coming back.

🤝

Reliability

If I say I'll be there at 10am, I'm there at 9:55. Every time. No exceptions.

💬

Communication

I text updates without being asked. You never have to wonder what's happening.

❤️

Genuine Care

Your pets are real creatures. Your time matters. I treat both like they're valuable.

Long-Term Thinking

I'm not here for a quick job. I want to be your go-to person for years.

Looking Ahead

Where I'm going.

This isn't just a summer job. I'm building something real — and I have a clear picture of what that looks like.

Go full time this summer

School's out. I'm dedicating the summer to building real recurring relationships with families who need consistent help.

Keep it going through college

Whether I stay local or go away, I'm keeping this business running. My clients aren't going to lose their person.

Give back to Federal Way

Eventually I want to hire other young people in this community who want to build something of their own. This neighborhood gave me a start — I plan to return the favor.
