Information Mikaela A. would like to know about your pet

- What’s their favorite toy or game? - Does the pet get worried or anxious when left alone? - Are they protective of their toys or food? - Behavior with new people and pets - Does the pet like other animals? Dogs? Cats? - Is the pet okay around kids? - Potty Training - Is the pet house trained? - Do they have occasional accidents when exited or nervous? - What's their routine? - Health history - Medications or allergies?

A typical day

It depends on the dog. I have a puzzle that you put treats in and they have to figure out how to get the top off so they can get to the treats. Not all dogs can do this so again, it depends on the dog. I play fetch with them in the back yard and I even lay with them on my bed or couch and they stay with me while I read a book, usually they'll fall asleep. We go for walks but I never do a dog park just because I have never had any luck with dog parks. Some dogs behavior at dog parks is mind boggling to me. I don't think every dog belongs in a dog park especially those that don't have manners, if you know what I mean. I also like to do late night walks just before bed time so they are tired when they go to sleep.

Pet care experience

Dear Pet Owners, My deep love for pets inspired me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. Having cared for dogs all my life, I understand the trust required to care for your "kids." With extensive experience working with various animals, I am skilled in grooming, walking, feeding, playing with, and providing attentive care to your pets. My top three goals are: * Providing exceptional care for pets at their owners' request. * Ensuring the upkeep and security of the owner's home. * Maintaining the health and happiness of pets in my care. I have a 6 1/2 month old female cocker spaniel, so if you're interested in dog daycare or boarding, your puppy must be good with other dogs. I am an energetic and positive individual with a flexible schedule, and I look forward to meeting your beloved pets! Please feel free to contact me anytime to discuss my services. Best regards, Mikaela

Mikaela went above and beyond. She helped us very last minute at a time of need when I had to work long hours. Thank you for taking great care of Marshall! Highly recommend.

This was our second time with Mikaela. The constant communication during the visit made us all feel at ease. She is so good with our pup. We definitely found our “go-to”!

Mikaela was very sweet with our dog Chase. She took excellent care of him over night and sent some great photos. Would happily book with her again.
