Safety, trust & environment

I am honest and passionate about what I do. I'm friendly and find it important to understand the way your pet behaves, quirks, and how comfortable they are with others. Having a good sense of your pet’s personality, likes, dislikes, and fears prior to services allow for me to provide the best care and remain flexible. About my dog, Mia Five years ago, I rescued Mia from Puerto Rico's "Hurricane Maria". When she came to me, she was frail, frightened, insecure, and scared of people, other dogs, storms, etc. After much rehabilitation, today she is happy, healthy, socially confident and an excellent 'doggie citizen'!

Maikala did a wonderful job. She was very professional, punctual and did a great job with communication daily. We would happily hire her again in the future.

Maikala is a thoughtful and able professional. She followed instructions exactly and Bella was calm and relaxed when I got home. I will definitely ask Maikala to take care of Bella again.
