Pet care experience
Your pet’s new favorite boarder🐾❤!
Hello! My name is Mikayla and I am a Yale graduate student who recently moved to New Haven with my husband. Since 2010, and on my own since 2017, I took care of my family yellow lab, Molly, until she passed at 13.5 years old. Through this, I have had experience with all stages of a dog’s life, with extensive experience in senior care. I am also available for boarding other pets as well (i.e. cats). Due to my flexible school schedule I am available to walk or board your pet at most times throughout the week. My husband, Justin, and I cannot wait to welcome your pet into our home and we promise to love and take of them while you are away. Feel free to reach out if you have any direct questions. Looking forward to caring for your pet!! 😊
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Mikayla and Justin are just the best -- so kind, quickly responsive and very warm and loving caregivers. Is it awkward that my dog Gracie doesn't seem to want to come home with me after staying with them? A little - but it's worth it :) !
Mikayla and Justin took great care of Rigatoni— were easy to communicate with, provided check-ins, and genuinely cared about her well-being. So grateful!
Mikayla and Justin took very good care of Yuki. I can tell he had a great time with them. Would highly recommend this to everyone!
Mikayla and Justin are the best. They are the true professionals! Easy to work with, great communicators and Frog really likes them :)
Mikayla was awesome with Mia! Great communication and took tons of pictures. Mia was super comfortable around her and they got lots of steps in. If we are in the area again we will definitely reach out. Thank you! :)
Mikayla and Justin took great care of Scooby, especially when he was anxious about hearing fireworks - they comforted him and played some calming music for him. They also sent regular and detailed updates with many pictures!

Schedule
I am a graduate nursing student with a flexible schedule where I only go into school or clinicals 2x a week. I am also able to come back throughout the day during those times. Lastly, my husband works from home so someone is always there to care for your pet.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a partially fenced yard for your dog to play and use the restroom. Our home is open and clean, making it easy for cats and dogs to move around. It is 2 floors, but the first floor is main living so senior pets do not need to access the stairs.
A typical day
Your pet will have so much fun staying with me! We’ll go on walks, playing the yard, learn new tricks, get treats (if allowed), and play games throughout the day. Your dog will come back home so happy and ready to come back for another visit!
