House Sitting • Apr 02, 2026

I booked a 10 house-sitting stay with Mika and was overjoyed to see videos of my retriever mix so very happy and comfortable. I could tell my Mila loved the attention she got. My dog is 12yr old this coming July and I wanted someone with experience. Mika's vet assistant background was perfect as well as her history with rescues and special needs pets. My anxiety for such a long stay was quickly eased after the first photos and texts. Mika's upbeat attitude is refreshing. She's totally focused on Mila"s every need. I gladly recommend her. I will certainly book again. Deb

As long as I’ve known Mika, she’s had a variety of well-cared for animals at her house for years. She is a genuinely caring and organized person who deeply cares for animals and their well-being. She’s always been responsive and would take your pets and needs seriously. 100% endorse her!

I highly recommend Mika as a pet sitter. She is reliable and knowledgeable, particularly given her experience working in a vet’s office. She truly loves animals and is just a lovely person. Mika watched my cat and did great with him even though he’s standoffish with strangers.

Mika is AMAZING with animals. She used to work for a vet and has loads of experience with dogs, cats, and reptiles. Because my dog was so comfortable with Mika, we used this vet until Mika moved on from there. She watched our sweet baby girl numerous times and always took the best care of her. I've seen Mika care for dogs that got out of their yards, treating them for fleas and ticks. She personally had two fur babies with health issues that she cared for with patience and love until the very end. Mika is one of two people that I would trust to watch my fur children for an extended period of time. I highly recommend her!!

Let me know what special needs your animal might have, whether it be extra play time or helping with recovery. I am happy to administer medication or provide extra care when needed.
