Availability
I am a veterinary student in my clinical rotation years. I live in a duplex, meaning I have my own house with no roommates. It is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath. I can pet sit from your house if you have multiple pets and are gone for days or pet sit from my own place if you have just a cat or a smaller dog.

About Mikaila S.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a duplex at the moment by myself without any pets, but I pet sit for friends a lot, driving over to their places to let the dogs out/walk them, feed the cats/dogs/fish and clean the litter boxes, make sure the water bowls are filled, etc.

Information Mikaila S. would like to know about your pet
If the dog has any medical issues I should be aware of. I am a veterinary student, so I do have some experience with giving medication and watching out for signs of distress or if there are certain things I should be aware of ahead of time.
A typical day
I can take your dogs for walks, or if there is a dog park near your place I can take them there, as well. If the weather is not cooperating, I can also play with them inside, with their toys or just simply give them attention by petting them and being there on the couch with them.

Pet care experience
My family has had cats ever since I was 12, I also rescued a goldendoodle 8 years ago and he has been my best friend ever since. I love all types of animals, and have experience with rabbits, horses, guinea pigs, and hamsters as well. I have been pet sitting and dog walking as a vet student for over a year now.
Reviews
Mikaila is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our fur babies. She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. She is very flexible and reliable. Our minds were immediately put to ease with her daily updates & pics. She spent all her free time with them, giving them each individual attention (playing fetch, dancing, walking). She went above & beyond our expectations, by grabbing all our mail & packages, also laundering her towels & sheets. It felt great to come home to the house, exactly as we had left it. Mikaila definitely goes above & beyond to love our babies, like her own, while we are away.
I booked Mikaela for an overnight stay for one night, however, when I returned home I found out via my ring doorbell that she did not spend the night with my dog. This was very disappointing as I paid to have someone spend the night at my house. This was not a major issue as I was only gone for one night, but had I been gone longer it certainly would have been a larger problem. Other than that, my dog seemed well taken care of when I returned.
Mikaila has taken care of my cat, Nova, on several occasions. Nova is a shy cat and can be standoffish around most people but has really loved spending time with Mikaila. She’s always done a great job and treated Nova as if she were her own. Highly recommend!
I have a needy cat, Eve, that is starved for attention whenever I am gone. As a college student, I go home to visit my family fairly often, and my cat doesn’t travel well. Mikaila has proven to be very reliable multiple times, so that I never have to stress about leaving my cat alone. I can tell she has a big heart for animals as she has gone above and beyond when it comes to checking in on Eve. I have noticed little to no results of Eve’s separation anxiety (usually puke or untouched food) whenever I have Mikaila take care of her, which shows me she is satisfying my cat’s attention needs as well as checking her food, water, and litter maintenance. I am sincerely grateful and will continue to reach out to Mikaila first whenever I plan on being away.
