Pet care experience

Farm girl moved to Miami.

I lived on a 5 acre farm in another state and moved to Miami to pursue my education. I owned all kinds of animals from dogs, cats, fish, birds, and reptiles and loved every minute of it. I have hand raised dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to German Shepherds in size and from puppies to senior dogs, hand feeding them if feeding was difficult and administering medicine to my aging dogs or for glaucoma. My husband works from home so if I ever need help or if I step out, he will watch the pet in my stead.

Safety, trust & environment

I will always treat a clients pet like my own. I have always had a passion for animals, even wanting to pursue veterinary medicine and would translate that care to the owner’s pets.

Excellent, caring, kind, and available. Could not ask for more. Trusted her with condo during very important time and she was perfect. Very lucky to have found her. Thank you!

Mikaela was an absolute lifesaver for my family! We needed someone to look after our two German Shepherd dogs while we were away for four days, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. You will not be disappointed.

Mikaela has watched my two dogs multiple times and has done a fantastic job each time. She is always responsible and pays attention to the specific needs of each dog. In addition to walking, she's watched them full time for multiple days and is my go to dog sitter. My dogs are extremely comfortable with her and love being watched by her, she takes the time to spend quality time with them whenever she watches them. She is also a very attentive dog walker, especially as one of my dogs is sometimes reactive.

Mikaela (Miki) has loved animals her entire life. She grew up on a farm where she cared for all kinds of animals (Dogs, Cats, Chickens, etc). She has an incredible way with animals. As her husband, I have seen her first hand working with her parents two large German Shepherds; feeding them, walking them, grooming them, training them, cuddling them and occasionally administering their medicine. She helps all of her friends and family members care for their animals when needed. Miki and I hope to adopt a dog of our own someday soon - until then, Miki is eager and excited to help our community walk and care for its pets.
