I'll treat your dog like my own!
Pet care experience
I am a passionate animal lover who has grown up with pets all my life, but dogs hold a special spot in my heart. I will treat your dog as if it were my own and keep them happy as long as they are with me! I love nothing more than playing with dogs and walking them until they are exhausted, and then letting them rest just to do it all over again! I currently work full time during the week in Back Bay and have a fairly flexible schedule. I have been walking dogs in my spare time for several months now, but have had past experience with dog sitting for multiple dogs at once, as well as pet boarding. I look forward to meeting your furry friend!
Reviews
When we picked Ziggy up from his day with Mikayla, he was happy and healthy and clearly had a great day. Mikayla was a great sitter who took him out for hikes and walks and reported back to us with very thorough updates and photos that were so good we even saved them for posterity! Would highly recommend booking with Mikayla.
Mikayla is an amazing dog caregiver! She recently started dog-walking and dog-sitting through the app Wag!, working with dogs in the Boston and Somerville areas. Mikayla also has a dog at home so she has a lot of experience caring for her dog. You can trust Mikayla in providing the best care for your dogs and making sure that your dogs have an amazing time! She's always at her appointments on time, documents the dogs' activities well, and returns the dogs in a timely manner. Mikayla is a responsible dog caregiver who will make your dogs' day (and her day) the best with her care!
Mikayla might have been a dog in a past life. She lives, breaths, and dreams about dogs. Mikayla is a family friend of mine and has watched our dog, Willy, on several occasions. Mikayla truly cares about the wellbeing of animals and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker / sitter.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a second floor apartment with an outdoor deck that could be a nice getaway for your pup. I live 500 ft from the beach where there are plenty of other dogs walking and running around as well as a fenced in dog park if that’s better suited for your furry friend. If visiting client’s homes, I try to make it as if I was never even there. I 1000% respect people’s privacy and understand it can be weird to have a stranger in your home, but I do everything in my power to make it as simple and straightforward as possible - always prioritizing your dog’s safety and well-being while in my care, following all instructions carefully, and communicating as much as needed to ensure peace of mind while being away from your pet!
Home
Information Mikayla M. would like to know about your pet
Any details you can provide up front would be appreciated! Diet, friendliness with other animals/people, allergies, if there is parking in the area if I need to go to the dog, ok with car rides, ok off leash, etc. I’m not a terribly strong person so I do best with dogs who don’t pull (stronger than me) and are decently behaved. :)
A typical day
I am open to any walking route suggestions! I live close to quite a few parks (and dog parks) so I would be happy to walk around wherever the dog seems to be most comfortable. I also love to sit and play with the dogs inside to keep them occupied.

I’m currently working from home full time and have a decently flexible schedule that allows me to take breaks whenever needed. I also walk everyday as it is, so having a furry friend join me would make my day!
