“Mikayla was awesome. She was very thoughtful, asked questions, and made sure I had some cute pictures of my fur babies. It was a short notice trip. Mikayla was prompt, spent quality time with my dogs, made sure they were comfortable and taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone. She took care of 4 different dogs while I was gone, without any problems”

About: Hi there! I’ve been raised with animals all my life and have fond memories caring for my sweet pets. I grew up with cats and dogs around me and still enjoy playing with them today. I regularly take care of my family’s dog when vacations arise and I’m happy to meet new dogs and extend that same care to them. 🤗🐾 I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to make visits to your home whenever is best for your dog. 💗 I’ll gladly send you pictures and video updates while your dog is in my care and I am happy to play with them with any of their favorite toys. 🐶 I love languages. I am fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese and American Sign Language and I’m also currently learning French. I’d be happy to communicate with you in any of those and also speak to your dog in whatever language you use at home as well. 🤟 I’m a stay at home mom so I’m pretty flexible for visits and for in-home care. I’m mostly always home aside from quick errands and church services. 🤗 In my home, I have a fenced in backyard where your dog can be comfortable running around and playing with us. We also love to take walks. 🤗 If you want me to visit your dog at home, you can feel comfortable knowing they will be at ease in their space as I care for them based on their needs. 🐾
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, since I was a very young child, it ranges from cats dogs hamsters to even reptiles. All growing up I have always had dogs large and small and moving out of my parents house. I also got a cat of my own and have raised two animals by myself living out of my parents home for over 11 years now. I currently have an open schedule, I'm looking to go to school here in the spring time; but as of now I have a open schedule. As approaching your home, I will assess the environment and the fur baby when I get there and calmly assure the animal that I'm there to help and to love for them as their humans do.
“She did such a great job watching our dog! She kept me informed if anything happened and was very communicative! Will definitely book with her again when we need a sitter!”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for pets of all kinds - including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, fish, frogs, and more. Over the past 10 years, I’ve also cared for diabetic dogs of my own, giving me hands-on experience with checking glucose levels, administering medication, and providing attentive care for pets with special medical needs. I also have ample experience caring for senior pets and am very comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I’m happy to follow strict feeding schedules, dietary requirements, medication routines, and care instructions to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. Because I work from home, pets are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. I know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates if desired. My home features an acre with a fenced backyard in a quiet neighborhood, creating a calm and secure environment for pets to relax and play. I treat every animal like family and strive to make them feel loved, comfortable, and cared for from the moment they arrive. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I work from home and have a 3-year-old Chihuahua-mix of my own. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. Working from home also gives me the flexibility to easily fit in home visits and drop-ins throughout the local area (pre/post-work and lunch breaks) while still maintaining a consistent schedule for the pets in my care. I’m very comfortable building walks, feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and cuddle time into my day while adapting to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions so they receive individualized care and attention. In my home, pets have a calm environment with plenty of supervision since I work from home, along with a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play. Pets are rarely left alone for long periods and receive lots of companionship, potty breaks, exercise, and affection throughout the day. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their usual routine for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I’m very respectful of both pets and homes and always aim to provide reliable, attentive care that helps owners feel at ease while they’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates so owners can see how their pets are doing and feel connected while they’re gone.

“Kayla was amazing, she really put me at ease about leaving my pets for the week. She provided updates and pictures with every visit and she even won over my anxious cat who normally hides with new people!”

About: I am a dog lover who is usually home full time, I like to take dogs for walks multiple times a day to make sure they are not always bored at home and to make their stay with me better (weather it’s an hour or a month) I have experience with any size dog, and I can provide them with special care if necessary (grooming, nail clipping, shower, etc) Dogs usually like me because I am energetic, patient and spoil them once in a while, I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs as well, so the dog’s age is not an issue.
