I have know Mikaela for 6 years and prior to her being our dog sitter she was my friend. When we adopted our dog Aldous from the shelter almost 3 years ago I knew exactly who to call but was hesitant and mostly anxious to leave him with anyone (especially someone I really liked and respected) because he was and can sometimes, (ok, usually) be aggressive toward other dogs while on his leash. When I explained the situation like a crazy fur parent to Mikaela she put me at ease explaining she has dealt with all different types of pets and can handle anything. She spent time with Aldous before their first weekend together and it gave me joy to see how much he loved her from the start. Mikaela has a real way with animals and I feel completely at ease when we leave Aldous with her. She is also very considerate and has bought him toys and other things she thinks he would enjoy. I would recommend Mikaela to any and all pet owners, she is simply the best! Thank you Mikaela for everything you do!
