I’m currently working full time and work most of the day but have more days off, I also have an hour long lunch break in the middle of the afternoon so I will come walk and tire them out when I’m there, but I am free after 7pm most days, and will make sure when I am there, that I will love and care for your baby, I will definitely do what I can and your pet is my number one priority. I am a nature lover but also a homebody, so which ever will best accommodate your pet, I will be!

Information Mikayla L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, diet restrictions and or allergies, the safety and wellbeing of your pet is my number one priority.

A typical day

Depending on what kind of energy level your pet has, I love walking around the museum district and at the surrounding parks, but I plan on sitting either outside or inside reading a book while your pet can either be scratched or laying down nearby, it’s up to them. I do also enjoy making frozen treats, but will run all of the ingredients by you beforehand.

Pet care experience

⚠️Unfortunately unable to provide walking or drop ins multiple times a day or days in a row I’ve been taking care of/owning animals my whole life so with these years of pet-care experience, I’ve gained attentive, knowledgeable care for a wide range of pets-including rabbits, tortoises, fish, hamsters, bearded dragons and guinea pigs. My background includes caring for animals with specialized needs, ensuring they receive the proper diet, habitat maintenance, and enrichment to stay healthy and happy. Unlike traditional pet sitters, I bring a deep understanding of exotic pet behavior, temperature regulation, and dietary requirements, giving owners peace of mind that their unique pets are in caring hands. Whether it's daily check-ins, long-term care, or creating an stress-free environment while you're away, I go above and beyond to provide top-tier, reliable pet-care services, and I absolutely would love to/ do not mind sending pictures and video updates!

Mikayla is amazing! She has been so good about keeping me informed every time she visits my babies and has really put my mind at ease every time she goes to see them. I’m so grateful for her sending me all the pictures of my kitties during her visits and her communication with me throughout her visits.

Mikayla took great care of my cats and made sure food and water was available. She made sure to give the cats some love and even helped me with the litter boxes. It gave me the peace of mind while I was out on a trip and will definitely ask for her services again!

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