Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving care when you can’t be there
I have always had a love for animals of any kind. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, laid-back senior pets, and everything in between. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I booked Mikaela to care for my cat for approximately 10 days while I was out of the country. At drop-off, I provided detailed written and verbal instructions, including a strict pre-portioned daily feeding plan and care notes. During the stay, communication was inconsistent, and updates were limited unless I followed up (with the exception of one update). A few days into the booking, I was informed of a health concern. I clearly communicated multiple times that I preferred to take my cat to the vet myself when I returned, as I did not feel it was a medical emergency and did not authorize a vet visit during my trip. Despite this, my instructions were not followed as stated, and there were continued requests to reconsider that decision after I had already declined. This created a stressful situation while I was away and made communication difficult at times. Prior to pickup, I was informed that some supplies had been depleted earlier than expected, including pre-portioned daily food. Additionally, not all items provided were returned, and I was informed that my pet’s bed had been damaged. Due to these concerns and the lack of consistent communication, I chose to end the booking early and pick up my cat before the scheduled end date. Overall, I did not feel confident that care instructions were followed as provided, and I would not rebook. Based on my experience, I would recommend ensuring all care instructions and expectations are clearly confirmed in writing prior to booking.

Schedule
I currently work flexible hours, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available on weekdays after 4pm and most weekends for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Since I keep my schedule open for Rover, I’m able to give pets my full attention and adjust to their needs.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. Communication is important to me, so I’ll send regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

A typical day
I love keeping pets happy with walks, playtime, snuggles, and enrichment. Whether fetch, toys, or cuddle time, I match activities to each pet’s personality and energy.
