Animal lover, Veterinary student 🐾
Pet care experience
I am a current veterinary student at the UC Davis School of medicine. I began working with pets at the age of 17, and spent the last few years working at a specialty and emergency hospital. This experience prepared me for administering a wide variety of medication, and handling special needs animals of all types. I'm also trained in puppy and senior pet care! I enjoy hiking, leisurely walks, and just cuddling furry and scaley babies.
Reviews
Mikayla took care of our puppy and did an excellent job. Highly recommend!
Mikayla gets five stars from us. She walked Anika and continued some training we’ve been doing. That is a real plus for our household. We’ll definitely hope to work with her again.
I couldn’t be happier with the wonderful care Mikayla provided for our pup, Layka. She was incredibly helpful and flexible. Mikayla’s excellent communication skills put our minds at ease while we were away. Layka was in the best hands possible, and we highly recommend Mikayla to anyone seeking a caring and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Mikayla!
Mikayla connected with Dodger the minute she walked in the door, reassuring us immediately that he was in good hands. She was familiar with the medication he might need, went over my (3) pages of instructions, and took the time to walk around our neighborhood with him and meet his friends (the neighbors who give him treats). She left the house in perfect condition, and she communicated with me and sent a photo. I hope she opens a vet practice in Davis - she'll have a new patient right away. Many thanks, Mikayla!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a home with 2 dogs who are both older and very mellow, there is a fenced backyard and parks near by for daily walks.
Information Mikayla A. would like to know about your pet
As a vet tech for 9+years and a rising 3rd year veterinary student, I have an expansive expirience list. Some things that would be helpful to know before hand include: reactivity or aggression to other people or animals, current medication, surgical history, current illness/diseases.
A typical day
Daily walks with my own dog are a daily occurrence. As my dog ages, hikes and more intensive walks have become less common. However I still have my favorite hiking spots that are dog friendly in and around Davis/Sacramento. The Putah creek preserve is a personal favorite of mine, it's nearby, pet friendly, has well maintained roads, and is well shaded.
