Pet care experience

Reliable Care, Vet Med Experience

Hi! I'm a part-time work-from-home mom with over 8 years of experience in veterinary medicine, including the last 5 years practicing Fear Free techniques to help pets feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. As a pet owner myself, I've had anxious dogs and understand how difficult it can be to find someone you trust to care for your pets. My goal is to provide the same patience, compassion, and individualized care that I'd want for my own animals. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and monitoring pets with medical conditions, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Whether your pet loves to play, needs a slower pace, or simply wants extra cuddles and reassurance, I'll treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until you're home.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes so pets can stay where they're most comfortable and maintain their normal routines. During each visit, I'll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention based on their individual needs. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, interactive play, or simply relaxing with some company, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I'll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

Mikaela is absolutely amazing with animals. She has cared for my dogs and my cat with so much patience, kindness, and genuine love, and it is clear that their comfort and well-being are always her top priority. She is attentive, responsible, and naturally connects with each pet’s personality, whether they need playtime, reassurance, routine care, or just extra affection. What makes Mikaela especially wonderful is the combination of her personal love for animals and her professional background as a veterinary technician. Her experience gives me confidence that she understands animal behavior, health needs, and the importance of noticing even small changes. I also know how devoted she is to her own dogs, which says so much about the care and compassion she brings to every animal she looks after. I would highly recommend Mikaela to anyone looking for someone dependable, knowledgeable, and truly caring to look after their pets. I trust her completely with my dogs and cat, and I am so grateful for the peace of mind she provides every time they are in her care.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time only three days a week and spend the rest of my time at home with my 3-year-old son. Because of my flexible schedule, I'm able to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Caring for animals has been a huge part of my life, so making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved is second nature to me. I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible and provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
