Fun, Fresh and Funky Sitter <3

Pet care experience

I've been an animal lover forever. I grew up with dogs, cats, cows, goats, horses, turkeys, the occasional mouse, and a few ducks. As a kid, it was my responsibility to feed the animals in the morning before school. I woke up two hours before sunrise to get everyone watered and fed! Farm life is no joke but it was I've always been extremely responsible with animals and found their company to be so comforting. In the past, I've worked at the local ASPCA, a Doggy Daycare in Baltimore, and a Pet Hotel in Philadelphia. In 2020, I finally adopted the pup of my dreams, Cucumber! He’s a 4 year old rescue from Austin Pets Alive who loves hiking, chilling on a cool patio, and gnawing on ice cubes. I have special training with large breeds and older dogs. While I’m not a doctor, I have a lot of experience with medicine and feel comfortable administering meds if needed! Currently, I work remotely as a freelancer and can make my own schedule. I prefer to sit at your home as I believe your pet is the most comfortable there. I’m very tidy and have no problem watering your garden, plants, etc. My motto has always been ‘“leave it better than you found it”! I'm excited to learn more about you, your house and your pup! Please feel free to ask any questions.

Mikaela is a fantastic sitter for our cat! She communicated with me throughout the weekend and sent cute pics of my cat when she checked on her. Definitely a trustworthy and reliable sitter. Will definitely book her again :)

Mikaela was wonderful in taking care of my sweet boy. I’m so grateful as she came in last minute before a trip I had to go on. I came home to a clean place, and a well taken care of cat! Thank you Mikaela!
