Pet care experience

Every Purr and Wag Matters 🐾🐾🐾

Hey there, I’m Mikayla! I’ve been caring for animals for 13 years, and it’s truly the happiest part of my life. Whether it’s wagging tails, gentle purrs, or tiny paws, I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cherished while their people are away. I treat every furry friend like family—making sure they’re fed, walked, cuddled, and cared for just the way you would. From playful puppies and kittens to sweet seniors, I have experience with all ages and needs, and I put my whole heart into giving them comfort and attention. Your pets will always have a friend in me! Some Highlights: -Have been around animals/ caring for animals since I was a very young child. -Helped my grandmother help/ rehabilitate animals like cats, dogs, raccoons, birds, possums, squirrels,etc. -Have a medical background and can/ have administered medications to sick/ injured animals. -Have cared for many animals of all shapes, sizes, and types. - Will love and care for your animals like they are my own! -Will frequently send updates/ photos while you’re away! My schedule is pretty flexible and am willing to accommodate as needed!

Safety, trust & environment

My pets are my whole world and animals are my passion. As a lifelong animal lover with over 13 years of experience, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and caring—treating every pet as if they were my own. From daily walks and feedings to cuddles, playtime, and special care, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in good hands.

Mikayla was so amazing with my dog Hope and my cat Dutchess while I was away for a seven day trip out of state. She was always positive minded and proactive and willing to solve any issues that came up. She is super smart and able to handle a lot of details and directions upon one conversation and remember those details! She helped Hope who is a recent rescue and was abused with some moderately severe separation anxiety and built her trust in ways that respected Hope and honored her boundaries. Thank you Mikayla! We look forward to working with you again :)

Mikayla is absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my dog while I was away, and I honestly don’t think he even missed me because he was having so much fun with her. She went above and beyond—sending me updates and photos every day, making sure he got his walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I could tell she truly loves caring for animals and treats them like they are her family. 10/10 would recommend booking through her! She was very flexible with my schedule and I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in her hands. I can’t recommend Mikayla enough—she’s the kind of pet sitter every dog (and dog owner!) dreams of finding.

Mikayla was absolutely amazing with our cat, Opal! From the moment we met her, we could tell she truly cares about animals. She kept us updated with daily messages and adorable photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Opal can be a little shy, but she clearly warmed up to Mikayla — a true sign of her gentle and patient nature. We came home to a relaxed, happy cat and a spotless home. Mikayla is reliable, kind, and clearly passionate about what she does. We’re so grateful for her care and will definitely be booking with her again!
