Pet care experience

Welcome to all pups & all breeds!

Growing up, I was surrounded with pets and dogs of all breeds. I love all dogs and am currently raising my own Aussie Doodle who loves to have puppy friends around! Being a Dog Mom isn’t easy by any means, but I fully potty and house trained my pup Mocha. I work full time from home so I’m available all day to take care of any pet that stays with us. I also love being active, my own pup and I love to go on walks around the neighborhood & at centennial park!

Mikaela is literally one of the best sitters on this app! She is very understanding and amazing with pups. We had a less than ideal situation but Mikaela was extremely understanding and flexible through it. Book her!!

She was so great with Gigi. I got consistent photos of my little girl, her availability was flexible, communication was always clear, and Gigi was welcomed and happy throughout her stay.

Mikaela was AWESOME. I got tons of pictures and updates. Wrigley had a great time and I will most definitely book with Mikaela again.

Very sweet and made sure to send me pictures of Norman throughout each day. I was able to relax on my trip knowing he was in good hands!

Schedule

I work full time from home & I’m always available to tend to a pup’s needs. I can take pups for a walk in the morning + evening (avoiding the hot TN sun as much as possible!) as we live very close to Belmont & Centennial Park, with lots of space for pups to roam and explore!

Safety, trust & environment

I have plenty of space for dogs to run and play around my house. Fair warning, our house does have a lot of stairs which may be more difficult on an older pup’s joints! For high energy and excited puppies, the stairs are great to get some exercise in if it’s too hot to go outside! I also always have lick mats or mental enrichment games on hand to keep a pup engaged throughout the day.
