In my home growing up we had dogs and cats and made sure to get our pets checked regularly. I love dogs so I’m committed to making sure they’re safe and happy with me. When I dog sit I make sure I am always watching the dog and taking care of them.

Information Mikaela F. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog has any behaviors that I should be aware of, especially if you want me to walk them and how they are around other dogs and people.

A typical day

I love to exercise so I am very happy to play with the dog or take them on walks. I like to play with dogs with toys too. I also will be sure to give them lots of pets and love. I am a runner so if you’d like I can talk your dog for a run too!

Hi I’ll take great care of your pet

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs since I was born and love them! I’ve helped take care of them by feeding them, walking them, playing with them etc. I’ve also fostered a few dogs on my own.

Mikaela was great! She took in our pup at the last minute due to a family emergency and was so flexible, kind and communicative. She took the time to look over my dog’s profile and had follow up questions for me at drop off. I really appreciated that attention to detail and I can tell my dog was very well cared for!

Mikaela gave many helpful details about her walks and visits in rover cards and messages, and she was very responsive and attentive to our pets’ needs. She also made her way to our place repeatedly in brutal snowy weather, and we came back to happy pets!
