Mikala can care for
Availability
I have a very flexible work schedule and I can let dogs out throughout the day at any time. I prefer to house sit if the house is further away to make feeding and letting out easier.

About Mikala V.
Safety, trust & environment
I only use a 2 finger "touch" when correcting a dog, and I'm well trained to prevent dog fights (or "arguments") and how to break them up. I worked 1.5 years full-time in dog daycare/boarding, so I'm well acquainted with dog body language and appropriate dog training.
Information Mikala V. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special needs! Please keep in mind that I cannot administer oral medications if a pet growls or or bites while doing so. I am very experienced with giving oral medications otherwise. Also, please inform me of any dietary restrictions and write out your pet's care plan so I can look back on it for reference. And also let me know of any behavioral problems for your pets ahead of time so I can work out a plan. Thank you!
A typical day
I enjoy writing, drawing and reading and doing other quiet hobbies in common areas to chill with pets. I love cuddling with dogs/cats on the couch while watching the TV!

15 Years of Pet Experience!
Pet care experience
I've grown up with large dogs my whole life-7 in total- from puppies to adulthood! I'm often called over by friends and family to take care of their dogs and cats since high school. I didn't grow up with cats but I we recently rescued two and I love them to death. We've trained each of our dogs since they were puppies. I've personally cared for many elderly dogs (my own, as well as petsitting) and have also owned a dog with a neurologic disability who would often fall ill and get fevers, and now I'm well acquainted with spotting the signs. I worked in pet boarding for nearly 2 years and I did everything from bathing, being a daycare technician, and diligently scrubbing kennels. I worked with all kinds of dogs and cats, young and old, friendly and not ao friendly. I also have experience with taking care of Rabbits, Bearded Dragons, and Ball Pythons.
Cat care experience

Reviews
Mikala is one of the most caring and responsible people I know. She genuinely loves animals and always makes sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I would trust her with my pets without hesitation because I know she would treat them like her own. Any pet would be lucky to have Mikala as their caregiver.
Mikala was fantastic with our dogs. You can tell she really enjoys being around dogs and connects well with them. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
