Pet care experience

Devoted to Your Pet's Happiness

I have extensive experience in pet care, including dog walking, pet sitting, and administering medications for senior pets. What sets me apart is my ability to tailor my approach to each animal's needs, whether it's training puppies with positive reinforcement techniques or providing extra attention and comfort for elderly pets. I’m also skilled in recognizing behavioral cues, which helps me ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for pets of all ages. My commitment to building trust with both pets and their owners fosters a strong bond and peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment for pets, ensuring all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. I have designated spaces for feeding, play, and rest, allowing pets to feel comfortable and secure. In clients' homes, I follow their routines and preferences closely, ensuring consistency for their pets. I take care to maintain a clean space, secure all exits, and monitor the pets closely to prevent any accidents. Building trust is essential, so I communicate regularly with pet owners, providing updates and addressing any concerns. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe and cared for, whether at my home or theirs.

Boarding • Nov 14, 2025

Mikayla was wonderful!! We have a terribly shy kitty who warmed up to her during her stay. Mikayla communicated with us and was very flexible with drop off and pick up arrangements. Her home is centrally located in the Big Bear area and is spacious and clean. I would highly recommend Mikayla to sit you 4 pawed family member! Joy

House Sitting • Oct 21, 2024

Mikayla was great with Bubba. She was on time. She sent us lots of photos with updates. Our house was just as clean when she left as when she arrived. We came home to a happy dog. It’s obvious she is good with animals. Bubba loved her.

Mikayla is amazing. She has watched our terrier mix, Rex, for years and takes exceptional care of him. He loves having Mikayla stay in our home with him so he doesn’t have to deviate from his routine. She takes care of him like he’s her own fur baby.

Schedule

I work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to fully integrate pet care into my daily routine. This means I can provide attentive care, ensuring regular walks, playtime, and meals are always on schedule. I prioritize building strong bonds with each pet, offering the affection and companionship they need. Whether it’s soothing a senior dog or engaging a playful puppy, I approach every animal with compassion and understanding, creating a safe and loving environment where they can thrive while their owners are away. My goal is to ensure both pets and their owners feel secure and happy.

Before providing care for a pet, it’s crucial to gather key information to ensure their well-being. Understanding their daily routine, including feeding times, walk durations, and preferred play activities, helps maintain consistency. Additionally, knowing about any health needs, such as medications or dietary restrictions, is essential for their safety. Insights into the pet’s behavior, including their temperament and how they react to new environments, allow me to tailor my approach accordingly. It’s also important to know how they interact with other animals and people, as well as any triggers for anxiety or aggression. Lastly, familiarity with the owner’s vet and emergency contacts, along with specific care instructions, ensures that I can respond effectively in any situation. Collecting this information enables me to provide the best possible care, tailored to each pet’s unique needs.
