Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m already used to planning my day around walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and giving my own dog the attention he needs, so adding another furry friend is something I truly enjoy. Because I’m home for most of the day, pets won’t be left alone for long periods and can receive plenty of attention, companionship, and bathroom breaks. I also enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor time are a regular part of my routine. Whether your pet needs lots of play or prefers a quieter, relaxed environment, I’m happy to match their routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a friendly 4-year-old Black Lab, Bear, who has a gentle temperament and no history of aggression. He enjoys meeting other dogs and has always done well with them, but I’ll always prioritize slow, safe introductions based on each dog’s comfort level. I also have two children who have grown up around animals and understand that pets deserve respect, space, and gentle interactions. They know not to disturb dogs while they’re eating, sleeping, or if they want time to themselves. Any interactions with your pet will always be supervised. I believe every pet is unique, so I’ll follow your instructions closely to help maintain their normal routine and make them feel safe and at home. I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own.

Information Mikaela D. would like to know about your pet

The most important things to know ahead of time are your pet’s personality, routine, and any special needs they may have. I’d love to know their comfort level with other dogs, children, new environments, and anything that helps them feel safe and happy. Bear is a friendly, easygoing dog who enjoys having a furry friend around, but I always believe in respectful introductions and making sure every pet feels comfortable. My home is a calm environment where pets can relax, play, and get plenty of attention throughout the day. Please share any details about your pet’s habits, preferences, fears, or routines so I can provide the best care possible.

A typical day

Every pet is different, and I enjoy adapting to their routine and personality. My own dog, Bear, is pretty laid back, so our days are a balance of relaxing at home, regular potty breaks, outdoor time, and a couple of games of fetch. Since I work from home, your pet will have plenty of companionship throughout the day, and I’ll follow their usual schedule as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a 4 year old Black Lab named Bear, and before him I had Coco, a Black Lab/Golden Retriever mix who was part of my family for 7 wonderful years (adopted at 8 and had her until the Rainbow Bridge). Caring for dogs through every stage of life has given me experience with everything from energetic young dogs to senior pets with changing needs. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and neighbors while they’ve been away on vacation, providing dependable care, exercise, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and well cared for when you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to help give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with good company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.
