About: Hi! My name is Micayla! I’m 25 years old and just moved to the city of Milwaukee in June. I live in the Yankee Hill area and am an Elementary Ed teacher. This summer I am completing my masters online and take lots of breaks throughout the day to explore the city. I’ve owned dogs my whole life (sadly lost my fur baby back in November) and have plenty of experience pet sitting. I’m looking to start my journey on Rover by combining my two favorite pastimes which are going for walks and petting dogs! My hours during the week are super flexible, as I am only doing online schooling this summer! I am an early riser and am usually up with the sun at 6 and can take breaks whenever. I genuinely just love being around dogs and will protect them like they’re my own. I enjoy walking them on a leash or playing with them at the park (if they are trained off a leash)!

“Great communication, very easy to work with!”


“Hanna did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats while I was away on vacation! She was prompt, communicated very well, and sent lots of photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”


“Samantha was so great with our kitten on our most recent trip! This was the second time we've had her check on our cat and she did an awesome job! We loved getting the pictures at each visit. It was so much easier to relax knowing that our cat was in great hands!!”


“Miranda was prompt, communicative, and reliable! She clearly loves dogs! We will definitely request her services again.”


“Sarah did a great job with my dog!”


About: I have been studying dogs since I was 12 years old. I have cared for a variety of dogs, including reactive dogs, shy dogs, outspoken dogs, and more. I have also worked in pet grooming, bathing specifically. I have worked in several doggy daycare settings as well. I would say I am very good at picking up on tense body language and knowing when a dog is uncomfortable in a situation. People come to me often asking for advice about their dogs, and I am happy to be that person in their lives. I am currently working as a groomer, but I know that I want to make myself useful during the times when I am not busy. I usually am free in the evenings and on weekends. Each dog in my house has a safe space. My dogs can go in their cages whenever they want, and often do so to relax. Crates are not a punishment and they are an option. They get lots of attention, and I try to fill their lives with enrichment. From taking them to parks to adding to their diets. I try to keep my dogs as happy as possible.
