Highlights
Pet care experience
A Pawsitively Pet-Loving Gal
My first "real job" was being a dog walker, where I would walk a cocker spaniel named Gonzo after school for 3 years. Since then I have dog and cat sat for neighbors through the years, both for short weekend trips and for longer multi-week trips requiring me to house sit as well. I fostered my first kitten for a month while in college, and helped foster over 30 cats and kittens during the pandemic since I had a little extra time on my hands. Over the past two years I have been pet/house sitting most months. I have watched everything from one dog or one cat for 4 days, to two cats and a dog for 2.5 weeks. I've watched puppies and kittens from 4 weeks old and on, and dogs and cats as old as 14 years. The actual breeds have been all over the place, but in terms of dog size I've watched everything from small terriers and daschhounds to huge labs and german shepherds. In addition to owning and caring for a goldendoodle for 11 years, I've also done a lot of pet sitting for my parents 6 year old rescue hound/lab mix and 4 year old rescue short-haired cat.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to care for your pet in your home the same way you typically do so that they maintain the same routine. Whether that means letting your dog(s) out in a fenced backyard, taking them for neighborhood or trail walks, going to a dog park, or following standard crate rules. Similarly for cats, I am happy to maintain the same feeding schedule, whether it's wet or dry food, and clean the litter box regularly. And of course, give your pets all the scratches and attention they want!
Ratings and reviews
Mikaela watched our dog, Uno, while we took our kids on a trip for spring break. She was fantastic and gave us routine updates on how Uno was doing. We would definitely use Mikaela as a dog sitter again!
Mikaela is THE BEST! Dependable, patient, kind, and communicative. Our doggo can be a handful during walks but Mikaela handles it like a pro every time. We’d give 10 stars if we could ⭐️
Mikaela stayed with Audubon for the weekend and it could not have been better! She was kind and super patient with a dog who has to be bribed to go outside. Mikaela followed Audie’s usual schedule to a T and was intentional about engaging her and playing with her. She provided regular updates and photos. As a bonus Mikaela left the house exactly as she found it. We are lucky to have found Mikaela!
Mikaela is wonderful. She was very attentive with luna. Luna is very shy with extrangers but she fell in love with Mikaela. I highly recommend her !!!!!!!!
We have enlisted Mikaela's help multiple times now and it is an immense comfort knowing that she's taking care of the homefront while we're away. Being able to keep the crew at home, in an environment they know, with a caretaker who's warm and exudes calm energy, is awesome.
Mikaela was awesome, especially as we were nervous given it was the first time we were leaving our 8 month old. She gave frequent updates and photos and helped make us feel at ease

Schedule
While watching your dog(s) or cat(s) I would rearrange my schedule as needed to prioritize giving most of my attention to your pet(s). I work remote and generally have a flexible schedule, so I could feed/walk/care for your pet(s) following whatever schedule they are used to. I don't work on the weekends and would be able to dedicate any needed time on weekends to caring for your pet(s)!
