Will run and play with your dog!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with pets my entire life, so I know the feeling that your pet is your family and I for me to watch you pup means that I will treat them with love and care as if they weremy own. Before Rover, I always stressed searching for a good pet sitter when I went on vacation and worried about if my pets would feel at ease while we were gone. I hope to ease any worries for owners so they can enjoy their vacation to the fullest. I do have a partner in crime(my pup), her name is Nala! She has joined me on all of my Rover experiences thus far. She is very sweet and good with dogs of all ages and sizes as well cats and other critters. I feel that having her has comforted the dogs I have watched, especially those with seperation anxiety or thoes that may be nervous around new people. I love to include her on all my Rover stays, however, I am willing to work with you and would definitely have the dogs meet before our stay! I have also worked at a vet clinic for the past five years. From this, I have learned how to handle different behaviors in dogs, as well as things to notice in a dog who may be sick, injured or just nervous. I would love to take your dog out to play, run, or hike! I will also provide them with love and attention in hopes that they will feel comfortable!

Mikaela is my go-to for dog sitting in my house and have depended on her time and time again to watch my dog. She’s always exceeds expectations and is wonderful with my energetic boxer puppy. I know when she watches him he (and my house) are in good hands.

Mikaela was amazing with our dog! We had her as a house sitter for five days. She kept us updated with a steady stream of pictures and videos of our pup, and took excellent care of our home while we were gone! Not a single thing was out of place when we were gone. She took our dog to the park a few times and also for long walks. I would highly recommended her services to anyone looking for a responsible dog watcher.

Mikaela was absolutely awesome with my pups!! She kept me updated throughout the day and I know they enjoyed her company and snuggles over the weekend! House was in perfect condition when I came home too! Definitely recommend her and will be using her again :).

Michaela is terrific! She does a great job with our 2 large, energetic Labs. We're delighted that we found her.
