Maikala was exactly what our dog needed! We have a senior dog and she's very shy and timid with strangers but she warmed up to Maikala and her calm and chill personality. We are ao glad she was able to check in on our old girl while we were away. She was also very honest and up-front with us as first time users on Rover. Kept in touch with us the whole time we were gone. Thanks Maikala!

I must say, Maikala is truly amazing with my beloved doggie Ellie! Her warm and tender care for my furry baby is beyond words. I am immensely grateful for her kind and loving attention towards Ellie.

Maikala was wonderful with my Malshih Panda? This was my first time being away from him, but all of my worries faded when I met Maikala. She’s warm and really loves and cares for your fur babies.

If you get the opportunity to book any service with Maikala, JUMP ON IT!! She was an overnight house/pet sitter for our 2 senior doggies for two weeks and I can't tell you the relief I felt after our meet & greet knowing our fur babies and house were in such EXCELLENT hands the whole 2 weeks we were away. One of our dogs is basically blind and deaf, both need daily oral meds, and the other one needs eye drops 3x/day. She handled all of that with ease on top of giving our pups lots of snuggles, walks and love. I'm pretty sure they were bummed to see us come home and her leave them (kidding, not kidding). She also sent videos, photos, and check-in texts throughout our vacation to continue to give us peace of mind. When an issue came up with the dogs getting into a little scuffle, she calmly handled the situation and appropriately contacted me; I appreciated her judgment in the moment. On top of all this, Maikala also took care of our fish, turtles, plants, garbage, mail and even unloaded our Instacart grocery bags on our last day away so we would have food when we got home! She is kind and trustworthy, warm yet professional. You can tell she really desires to provide the best care she can. Her services were worth every penny and we are definitely booking her for our next vacation!

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'!
