Energetic Dog Lover - Pup at Heart!
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Mikayla, and I am a 26-year-old who works from home looking to share some love and care with your sweet pet. My childhood dog was very shy and submissive, so I have extensive experience taking care of sensitive sweethearts. I started loving on dogs at a young age. I have frequently watched, walked, kissed and cared for pups of all ages and breeds for as long as I can remember. Professionally, I have cared for animals on and off for about eight years. I have many years experience volunteering with local rescue and adoption agencies. My experience with equine and dog therapy has only increased my connection with all animals, understanding their emotions, communicating unconditional love and creating lasting bonds. I believe that positive and gentle energy will soothe every dog, make a great listener out of any pup, and bring out his or her playful side :) The comfort of both you and your pet is of the utmost importance to me, and I will keep open communication to insure any preferences you or your pet may have are taken care of the best way possible. I am detail-oriented and can easily follow your pet's routine or any instructions you may have for me. I love taking pictures and videos and can send as many updates about your cutie as you like :) Most importantly, I want your pup to have fun! ABOUT ME: I previously took care of pets through Rover when I was a student living in Atlanta. Now that I am working from home as a wellness consultant, I'm able to care for wonderful fur guests into my loving cottage. My schedule is highly flexible and I am available every day including weekends. On days that I am delivery meals I would be away for no more than 2 hours at a time, so it's easy for me to spend lots of time with your pup. I've missed my snuggle buddies, so discovering Rover is a dream come true. It brings me so much joy to see wagging tails and big, slobbery grins. I'd love the opportunity to care for your dog with as much love as I gave my own. Please contact me with any questions!
Reviews
Mikayla was great with Snoop!
Mikayla was amazing. We had recently adopted our dog and she took such great care of her. She helped get her in a routine. We would recommend Mikayla to anyone that needs a caring and amazing dog sitter.
Mikayla is fantastic! She’s been very reliable, informative with her stays, and I feel comfortable putting my fur baby in her hands. My dog can be shy and have a hard time warming up to people, but they seemed to have quickly formed a connection! I highly recommend her!
Mikayla is like a dog whisperer! She was great with my 2 dachshunds and worked well with our drop off and pickup schedules.

Information Mikayla K. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds, but I do like to know your pup's age, breed, its temperament with others, and if your dog is housetrained. I prefer to have a free initial "meet and greet" with you and your pet(s) to make sure your pup is comfortable with me and his routine, toys, "house rules" (i.e. sitting on furniture), medication and any preferences you would like me to know. However, the "meet and greet" is entirely optional and I can provide a list of more detailed questions to ensure I will provide the proper care for your pup. I am happy to bring in mail, trash containers, and other maintenance tasks you may need while away. If you have additional requests, such as vet transportation or light pet shopping, please contact me to discuss further details.
A typical day
I love play time, and you'll often find me playing tug-of-war, peek-a-boo, and being silly. If your dog loves playing catch or Frisbee, all the better. And it goes without saying that endless belly rubs are included. I am open to anything, so if your pet has a favorite toy or game he loves, let me know, and I'll be all over it. I am happy to help potty train and teach your pup new commands and tricks. I believe in positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior, always with excited puppy love speech and treats if you are comfortable with that.
