I love to help other pet parents

Pet care experience

Please note I work full time Monday-Friday in the office so cannot drop in during the day, but can before 8am or after 5pm on weekdays. For over night sitting I am available as long as your pet is okay with being alone while I am at work. I am fully vaccinated (and boosted) and I am willing to cater to your comfort level 😁. I am a women in science so fully support the mask and vac game. I have been in the pet sitting business since 2018 where I have consistently sat and walked both cats and dogs. With being a recent masters student grad and planning a wedding I am looking for extra income. I have multiple clearances including act 31, 33, and 73 with working with vulnerable populations and can provide proof with request.

Mikaela did an excellent job caring for our cats and is very reliable. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Mikaela was amazing and took such good care of our doodle! She’s very reliable and kind and our pup loves her! Such great peace of mind, knowing that Luna was in great care while we were away!

Mikaela was amazing! She came over early to get my pup and her comfortable before I had to leave, sent me photos while I was gone, and I could tell my pup was in good hands. She is great!!

I have my distance as further, since I do go into the city on a regular basis. However, with current gas prices I try to keep my clients either near by to where I live or somewhere I already venture often. I am willing to do further drop ins or stays; however, please know I may increase my rate to compensate for the gas prices (I would love to do this for free but this girl’s gotta eat). I am well trained and adjusted to various pets and their personalities. I consistently walked a senior pup for 2 years, as well as, I have experience with puppies so I am well versed. I grew up with dogs and have 2 cats of my own so I am skilled in a wide range of outgoing to reserved kinds of pets.

Information Mikaela K. would like to know about your pet

I always ask how I can best simulate your pets routine so they feel most comfortable. Therefore I ask their routine such as feeding schedule, where their toys and supplies are, their triggers (if applicable), their personalities, and any special care.

A typical day

When I play with pups I love to take them on a walk, or to throw their favorite toy for them to play fetch. My favorite is to play ball outside to tire out your doggos, and to go on walks to explore new areas. I also love to hike so parks are always a fun go to!
