Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Mikaela and I have always been around animals my whole life, ranging from dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, birds, and rodents! I was raised with small Yorkshire Terriers, and later a Border Collie. Throughout my early career, I frequently dog sat 3 working labradors for 3 weeks at a time, I thoroughly enjoyed maintaining their behavioural training and routines. I love walking and being outdoors, and we are now lucky enough to own our very own gorgeous French Bulldog named Nellie. I am 31, live with my partner Lawrence, Nellie, and we now have a young baby. I am currently on maternity leave, and find myself frequently out and about walking with the baby and Nellie. I would love to help out and walk other dogs who are in need of fresh air and excercise.
Reviews
This is the second time Mikaela has looked after my dog. She was able to have him quite last minute and Colin was absolutely thrilled to be back at her place again. He went bounding in as if it was his own home! Thank you Mikaela and Lawrence for taking such good care of my little sausage.
From the moment they met, my dogs really took a liking to Mikaela and vice versa so I felt confident that I could leave them in her care. I received photo updates during their stay and it's clear they had a very exciting holiday with lots of long walks and plenty of affection, too! I will definitely be getting in touch with Mikaela next time I need a trustworthy sitter for my boys. Very happy, thank you!
Mikaela looked after my 3 labradors regularly from 2014-2018. She had them if we had long days out and also moved into our home to look after them when we were on holiday (once for 3 weeks) Holly, Willow and Rosie loves being with Mikaela and I never worried about them they were with her. She genuinely adores dogs and is brilliant with them. I wish she hadn’t moved away from the area. Can not recommend her highly enough!
Mikaela would be a great asset to your team, she is a wonderful honest trustworthy person and amazing with all animals, she grew up with many dogs and pets as a child. I would be very happy to recommend Mikaela to help other people. Fiona
