Pet care experience

Here to help and give love!

I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, growing up with a variety of dog breeds thanks to my dad. My son shares this love for animals and has a natural gentleness around them—he’s like a little animal whisperer! We’ve also had the opportunity to foster both dogs and cats, giving me well-rounded experience in pet care. I’m here to help with everything from bathing and feeding to walking, cuddling, and house sitting. I have a flexible schedule, and my Rover calendar is up-to-date with my availability for sitting or walking your dog. At my home, pets are treated like family. They have their own beds or pillows to relax on, but many enjoy lounging on the couch with us. While our yard isn’t fenced, I always keep pets on a leash and close by to ensure their safety.

MaiKayla took such great care of my dog. I was so anxious about leaving her with someone new and I was so relieved with her and her family. My dog seemed to have the best time with her!

Always a pleasure having my baby cared for by MaiKayla! She always comes home so happy and tuckered out, which I take as a sign she's getting lots of love and attention. Our vacations are her vacations too. :) Thanks MaiKayla for being so awesome!!

I left my dog with MaiKayla for few days and I received back sick, dehydrated dog that was howling all the way home. I've never seen him like that before. When we got home he drank two bowls of water right the way and the whole night I was dealing with major diarrhea. It's really sad that people take money and don't provide any decent service

MaiKayla was amazing with my big girl. Her energy and personality was perfect for my dog and she immediately bonded well with her and her family. Will for sure every time use MaiKayla for any boarding with my sweet girl.

Schedule

We prioritize pet care as part of my daily routine, ensuring pets are well-fed, exercised, and comfortable. I start each day by feeding them at scheduled times, followed by a morning walk or play session to get some energy out. Throughout the day, I make sure they have plenty of water and attention, and I customize activities based on each pet’s needs, like additional walks, playtime, or cuddle breaks. Weekly, I incorporate grooming tasks and any special care requirements, like administering medication or handling specific dietary needs. I’m committed to giving each pet the love and care they deserve, just as if they were my own.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I provide a pet-friendly space where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I have designated areas for sleeping, playing, and feeding, and I ensure the environment is free from hazards. I maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep pets happy and comfortable. For clients’ homes, I follow their instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual routine. I make sure to keep the pet’s space clean, give plenty of attention, and stay in communication with the owner to update them on how their pet is doing. My goal is to provide attentive and personalized care, whether at my place or theirs.

A typical day

I would make sure exercise and fun is a big part of our days. I would play games that keeps them entertained and also stimulating their brains. Fetch. A lot of my dogs loved playing with the water from the water hose, running, walks at a dog park
