Information Mikayla R. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your dog has any special behavioral or physical needs and we will accommodate accordingly! Also, we’d love information on how they respond to other dogs (if I need to skip the dog park) and what their leash training is like. Thanks!

A typical day

A typical day will vary with each service and pet, but generally will include the services listed above! We love giving them time at nearby dog parks and having a little buddy to hang out with for a while. We'll have some great playtimes and walks around the neighborhood, and they'll get so many pets and belly rubs, they'll be in heaven. Cats will get a good brush (what cat doesn't love being groomed) and all the attention they want!

Pet care experience

My husband (Ryker Lamb) and I co-run this profile together! He is also approved and background-checked through Rover. We just love animals and we’re willing to do the dirty work that comes with pets sometimes! We’ve both had dogs and cats our whole lives from little chihuahuas to giant St. Bernards. We’ve also sat for chickens, bunnies, and other little critters. We have a very shy dog ouselves so we know the anxiety of leaving your pets with strangers - you want them to be loved like you love them! We love taking dogs for walks, to dog parks, etc. Your pets will be well cared for ❤️ For pricing, please be aware that Rover keeps 20% of the cost shown below😊

Mikayla and Ryker were great and did an amazing job taking care of our cat while we were out of town! Our flight was canceled coming back into town and they stopped by last-minute to make sure he had everything he needed another night. Highly recommend if you are looking for a trustworthy sitter for you pet.

Not only are Mikayla and Ryker individually incredible house sitters and dog walkers, but they set themselves apart because they work as a team. They are always working together to make sure that my pets have food, love, and exercise, and they communicate between themselves and me very well. They left my house pristine when i got back home and my pets are happy. I feel that I can trust them completely. They are a unique service and I would recommend them to anyone else in need of any manner of pet care services.

Mikayla was great! I could see how happy the pups were in the pics and she was very communicative with us throughout the stay. Would 100% use her and Ryker again. Thank you Mikayla!!
