Pet care experience
I have lived with animals all my life, in particular dogs and cats. But my first responsibilities began when I asked my mom for two kittens nearly 8 years ago. As a result I've raised two very behaved and sweet boys: Pumkpin and Spice. Always having had a natural inclination and gentleness towards animals I've house sat and pet sat for family members and friends multiple times in the past. I have already made pets my career by graduating from the SUNY Delhi Veterinary Science program and passing my liscening exam in 2018. I currently work full time as a Liscened Veterinary Technician at CNY Veterinary Services in Clay, NY. I have experience caring for and handling not just dogs but also cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, mice, rabbits, snakes, toads and fish. I can administer a range of medications for example giving pills, insulin injections, applying eye drops or skin ointments. Naturally, I have plenty of experience walking dogs from Chihuahuas up to Great Danes.
Reviews
Mikayla was fabulous! She was attentive, reliable, and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs.
Mikayla was wonderful! Very conscientious and trustworthy! I felt very comfortable leaving Barclay with her in my home and will definitely have her help me again when I travel.
Mikayla is great! She definitely loves animals and takes great care of my pets. One of my dogs is quirky and slow to warm up to strangers, and in less than 24hrs, he was won over with butt scratches and on the chair with her. My other dog loves everyone and slept with Mikayla each night :) I love the updates with photos and knowing I don’t need to worry about anything when I’m away, including the house. I would definitely recommend reaching out to Mikayla if you need a sitter, whether it’s for an overnight or a drop-in visit.
Mikayla has always taken wonderful care of my animals. I have a dog, 2 cats, a hamster, a snake and a fish tank and she is very careful with all of them and is not squeamish. She is very knowledgeable about the different animals and administers medications as well. My dog has eye drops and ear meds and 1 of my cats is a diabetic. It really helps that she is a Licensed Vet Tech. I know my animals will be in good hands when left to her.
