Cant wait to meet you an your pets!
Pet care experience
I have always had a dog as a family pet along with some outdoor cats. I had an 11 year old rescue rottweiler up until Feb 14 2021. I help care for my sisters golden retriever who's been in our lives since he was born and my parents senior basset hound who we unfortunately lost spring of 2022. I also have experience with giving medications if that is ever needed! I always respect others belongings and will treat your home and pets how I would want mine treated. I like to leave the place looking as it did when I got there and with a happy pet! I am more than happy to take your pups and pets on walks, to the park or just out back to burn some energy!
Reviews
Mikaela did a great job taking care of our 2 cats and plants for two weeks. Good daily communication with pictures, even gave our cats play time! Would definitely recommend!
Mikaela did a great job with Tyler. He's an older cat and needs some special care and she was really great with that and also cleaning up after his accidents! Also sent lots of pictures! Thank you so much!
Mikaela was wonderful, gentle, and understanding with my timid senior rescue and all of his fears and quirks. She listened carefully to his care directions, sent great updates/photos, and prioritized gaining his trust above all else. It put my mind at ease to know he was with someone like Mikaela. Will definitely be booking her again!
Mikaela always does so well with our old kitty! And she always goes above and beyond what her duties are.

Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure to enter into your pets space with a calm demeanor as to not make them anxious. I check gates to make sure there is no escape route for them if the yard is fenced and i always make sure harnesses/collars and leashes are on correctly to avoid possible escapes and/or injuries.
Information Mikaela J. would like to know about your pet
The most important information for me is if the dog is reactive in any way, not necessarily for myself but so I can adjust my mannerisms but also any situations in which we may encounter to keep the dog comfortable.
A typical day
When weather is appropriate I try my best to keep the dogs I watch outside and moving but when it's raining or cold, depending how the dog fairs with it, I usually walk them until the duties are done then play inside for the remainder of the visit.

Availability
As of 2024 i work full time at a dental office in Byron, but live in Rochester so my radius is wide! However, i work four 10 hour days starting at 6am and ending at 4pm with an hour lunch varying mid-day. Making weekday visits a little more complicated but i am very available evenings, friday through sundays, and holidays! It never hurts to send me a request to see if I'm available, i love meeting new pets and people so its always worth a try!
