Pet care experience

Dog Trainer & Reliable pet care

Hi! I’m Mikaila, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including reactive, anxious, and high-energy dogs. In addition to pet sitting, I am also a professional dog trainer, so I bring a deeper understanding of behavior, structure, and safety into every visit. Whether your dog needs a simple potty break, a walk, or just some extra attention while you’re away, I make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and secure. I have experience with feeding routines, administering medications, handling multiple dogs, and maintaining a calm, structured environment. I’m also very comfortable with dogs that may be nervous, excitable, or require a little extra patience. You can expect clear communication, updates, and photos during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, well-being, and happiness.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With my background in dog training, I’m very aware of body language, behavior, and how to handle dogs safely in different situations. I follow all instructions closely, maintain routines, and create a calm, structured environment during visits. I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments, including nervous, reactive, or high-energy dogs, and I always prioritize safe handling, secure leashing, and awareness of surroundings.

We loved Mikaila. She was able to come pick up the dogs bc we were headed out of town for the weekend. The dogs live her and she treated them like her own. We would use her again in the future for sure!’

Mikaila has watched my very high energy dog and she was so patient with him and treated him as if he were her own. I highly recommend her for any dog services you may have.

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule Tuesday through Saturday and am available for morning, afternoon, and some evening visits. I do work with private dog training clients, but my schedule is adjustable and I’m able to plan visits around them. I’m unavailable Sundays and Mondays, but I’m reliable and consistent during my available days.

I always like to learn as much as possible about each dog before starting. Things like their routine, energy level, behavior around other dogs or people, feeding schedule, and any triggers or sensitivities are very helpful. I also like to do a meet-and-greet when possible so your dog feels more comfortable and I can make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. Clear communication helps me provide the best care possible.
