Pet care experience

Ready to care for any and every pet

I’ve been animal lover for as long as I can remember. From reptiles to puppies to birds I treat every animal with love and respect. Due to never having an ideal living situation to be caring pets, I’ve never had a pet of my own. However, I’ve always been surrounded by my friends, families, coworkers and neighbors pets. I have watched cared for their pets at my home, their home and even just out and about many times over the years. This has given me experience with a countless amount of pets of all kind and I fall in love with each and every one! I’d love to spread that love a little further to all who will allow me to share :)

Mekayla arrived early for our meet and greet followed by a short walk. My pups warmed up to her almost instantly, they seemed sad to see her leave. Mekayla is kind, gentle with the pups and such a pleasure to talk to. Can’t wait for more sessions!

Mekayla took care of my dear Kenzo when he was just a pup. I was so nervous because I had never left my baby in someone else’s care before. But Kenzo absolutely fell in love with her. She kept me updated throughout the day and sent pictures every hour, which gave me so much peace of mind. He even cried when I picked him up! I would highly recommend Mekayla to care for anyone’s pet, she is a wonderful, caring, and generous young woman.

Mekayla did an amazing job watching my three puppies Rocket, Dora, and Hermes and I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Dora is blind and needs extra patience and attention, and she handled everything with so much care and understanding. It meant a lot to know my dogs were in good hands, especially knowing one of them requires a little extra help. She was kind, responsible, and made sure they were all safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I felt completely confident leaving them with her. Mekayla really went above and beyond, and I would absolutely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about animals.

Mekayla is absolutely wonderful to work with! She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. She takes care of my goldendoodle, Jasper, and I always feel so at ease knowing he’s with her. I’m very cautious about who I trust with him, but he absolutely loves her and that says everything. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he is in such caring and capable hands. I happily trust her with my Jasper anytime.

I highly recommend Mekayla as a pet caregiver. She took incredible care of my orange boy cat, making sure he was well-fed, comfortable, and given lots of attention and affection. She kept me updated regularly, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Mekayla is extremely reliable, responsible, and clearly experienced with animals. She pays attention to the little details and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again, she’s amazing with animals and truly goes above and beyond.
