Pet care experience

your pet’s cool aunt 😎

** Recently moved to Taos! ** Hi! I’m Mikayla. I’ve been caring for pets through Rover for over five years and have maintained all five-star reviews along the way. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember—from dogs and cats to reptiles, farm animals, and just about everything in between. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, sticking to a specific routine, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I genuinely love meeting new animals and building relationships with both pets and their people. If your pet enjoys extra attention, affection, and being just a little bit spoiled, we’ll get along great. 🐾💕

Mikayla is AMAZING!!! Our cats love her and would greet her at every visit! She provided many photos and updates of the cats and they received the BEST care! It was so nice to be on vacation and not have to worry about the cats because I knew they were taken care of so well. Absolutely will book her agan!!

Mikayla was amazing! Very reliable and caring. Great communication. She made our first trip away from our 8 month old puppy stress free.

Schedule

I have a high energy dog named Sienna, and when I’m not working I’m spending time with her outside, going on walks or playing. My schedule varies from day to day, so don’t hesitate to reach out and ask if I have the availability that you might need.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets can make themselves at home at our place! They will also have plenty of outside time and lots of exercise as my husband and I are both very active. I have a pretty good understanding of animal behavior and body language, but please let me know if your pet needs any accommodations around behavior so I can keep everyone safe and happy 😊

Pets

A typical day

Having a working breed (border collie), a typical day includes a lot of physical and mental stimulation. We go on long walks, play outside in the yard, and I enjoy working on new tricks and commands. For dogs I watch regularly and know well, I’m happy to take them to the park or along on hikes :)

0 to 15 lbs

Mikayla can host up to 2 pets per night
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, such as medications or dietary restrictions. I also like to know your if dog has any preferences or quirks (like, he gets nervous around cars or she doesn’t get along with other dogs) just so I can maintain comfort and safety during our time together :) Please also let me know of any behavioral issues, if any. If boarding/doggy day care please let me know if you’d be comfortable with me taking your pet out on walks with other dogs who I might be scheduled to walk during that time, or how long your pet can be left alone so I have adequate time for everyone :)
