Highlights
Pet care experience
Your fur-baby’s fairy godmother
I’ve been passionate about animal science and animal welfare for as long as I can remember. I’m currently a veterinary technician at an animal hospital in the DC area. I’ve worked at the Smithsonian Zoo, NIH facilities, doggy daycare and boarding facilities, animal clinics, and a humane society shelter for birds, cats, dogs, rodents and reptiles. I will be applying for veterinary school this summer and I am currently in a Master’s program with a concentration in bioengineering.
Cat care experience
Mikayla also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I’ve used my experience in veterinary medicine and educational background (B.S. in animal science from UMD) to recognize animal behavior. I’ll know to understand your pets boundaries and behaviors when interacting with them in their home.
Ratings and reviews
Mikayla is extremely loving, kind, compassionate and caring. My fur baby is a friendly boy, but the cuddles he gives Mikayla are the ones he only gives to genuinely good souls. She would be a phenomenal pet caregiver for any pup or kitten in need of a temporary home.
Mikayla is truly the best with all pets. My senior dog, Ginger, and my cat, Milo, adore her. Ginger can be wary of strangers, but she loved Mikayla from day one. She gives them all the gentle care, cuddles, and attention they could ever want, and treats them like her own. I trust her completely with my them! She’s reliable, compassionate, and genuinely gifted with animals. If you’re looking for someone that will care for your pets and not have to stress about how they’re doing while you’re gone Mikayla is the one!
