About: I have professional experience working with various types of animal through previous workplaces.

Given that, I have extensive experience in animal care.

I am willing to meet the medical needs of your pet. I also have experience walking and feeding dogs. I am able to walk dogs of all sizes.

About: I am very loving to all animals, My own girl is a rescue from St. Thomas that I adopted from Pet Search 10/2022. She was abused as a puppy and very anxious and afraid of men mostly and takes times to gain humans trust. I am very patient with her and always keep her safe. I know how to identify if she is not feeling comfortable in a situation and remove her from the situation to make her feel safe. She loves all dogs and children but needs to gain humans trust. I have been around dogs and owned dogs since I was a child. I have done pet sitting for my parents dog , family members and friends dogs including cats. I am just new to Rover, not new to being a furbaby sitter. You can trust me to be very attentive, while your fur baby is in my care they are my number one priority. I can administer oral medications if needed. I have a fenced in back yard and perfect neighborhood for walking. I currently work a full time job as a medical assistant at a doctors office since 2006. I am off early on Fridays and off on the weekends. I have a furbaby of my own that is three years old that I adopted. I am available on friday afternoons after 3 and Saturday and Sundays all day. I can do home visits, walks, or you may come to my home as long as your furbaby is good with another dog. I have experience walking and pet sitting dogs for neighbors, family and friends. I have a big yard for your babies to have lots of playtime and also have a fenced in back yard to keep them safe. I also have a safe neighborhood for walking and there are many trails by my home. My dog also gets along with all other dogs and is very playful. I do require proof of up to date vaccinations including Rabies.

“Mikaela was a wonderful drop in sitter. She gave detailed report updates with pictures. Our dogs looked so happy in the pictures, we wondered if they missed us 🤣. Honestly though, it was great to be able to have complete peace of mind that our fur babies were in such great hands while we were away. We will definitely use Mikaela again.”


“Brittanie was fabulous with our two English mastiffs (one being very senior.). She was on time and gave us updates which helped ease our mind while we were away. We’ve never used Rover before but will definitely use it (hopefully Brittanie!) again.”


“Michael was great from our initial meetup to the drop in visits for our dogs. I knew they were cared for and looked very happy in the pictures he provided. I will be booking with them again in the future.”
