Pet care experience

Hi all! I have cared for dogs & cats of all sizes for many years, and I am well-versed in pet care. I recently added puppy training to my skill set after successfully training a one year old husky. I'm comfortable caring for and walking dogs ranging from small to large, as I've previously taken care of dogs such as dachshunds & mini schnauzers to boxer & pitbull mixes. I provide care for disabled pets, too, with my most recent experience being sitting a three-legged cat named Cheeto 😊 I'm also familiar with various dogs parks to travel to and daycares such as Bark Bark Club in the area if you need someone to drop off your pet!

Awesome with communication and flexibility! Eased into with my shy and nervous girl. We are excited to continue this relationship.

Mikayla has done an excellent job for us as a dog walker and dog sitter. She has been extremely professional, responsible, and sweet with our dog and us. She has been really good with communication, letting us know how things are going along the way. We look forward to asking her to sit for our dog again.

Mikayla took care of my house and cats for 2 weeks while I was out of the country on vacation. Knowing I am an anxious cat mom, she sent daily updates and pics and kept me up to speed with the local happenings, both cat and non-cat related. I returned yesterday and my cats showed no signs of having missed me, which means she did an excellent job! Great communicator and too great care of my house and cats....would definitely hire again.

This was our dog’s second time meeting Mikayla. She was communicative with me and able to problem solve well when our dog was too scared to go out in the rain. Mikayla is professional and trustworthy and we are glad we found her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
