I work as a Registered Nurse and recently switched to a PRN schedule. That allows me to have a much more flexible schedule, which is great so that I am able to help care for your pets more! If you need various days of the week or weekends or day time or night time, I can usually make it work! I am also usually able to squeeze in some same-day bookings, as well! I try to be as flexible as possible because I know what it is like to have a crazy life schedule. We can work together to come up with something that works for everyone including your furry friend!

Safety, trust & environment

This will vary based on what services you'd like provided for your pet. I am very honest, and if I am not able to confidently and safely perform the task, I will make sure to let you know! Integrity is very important to me when caring for both humans and animals because I value their wellbeing so much, so I will never tell you that I can do something and then either not do it or purposely do it below a high-quality standard. I'd love to communicate with each other what tasks you are looking for especially if your pet has any special or specific care tasks, diets, restrictions, or physical limitations. Some general tasks I can provide include dog walking, pet sitting, checking on your cat (cleaning litter box, playing, feeding), playing with your dog at a dog park or helping them get exercise. However, if there is any other task, just let me know and we can discuss it! I take safety and high-quality care very seriously, and I am eager to help you and your pet.

Information MiKayla R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, physical restrictions/limitations, diet restrictions, or if you have any preferences in what their care looks like!

A typical day

For dogs, I love to go on beautiful walks and explore areas together! I also love to go to dog parks and play games together for both exercise and to simply have fun together. We can also play together and provide lots of petting times if I ever watch them inside the house, as well! For cats, I love to use a variety of cat toys to play with cats! I know how some cats have different play styles, where some like to hunt, some like to chase, some like to be sneaky, and some like to just lie down and reach up high. No matter what personality your cat has, I'd love to play with them and use cat toys so we can have fun! There will also be loads of petting time and cuddling time!

Nurse looking to love your animals!

Pet care experience

I'm a Registered Nurse who also absolutely loves animals! I am on this site for the amazing opportunity of caring for dogs and cats! I have loved both dogs and cats my entire life and have had both of them as pets. I would love the opportunity to provide pet care services to your pet and to help out you and your family! From dog walking, pet sitting, checking on your cat (cleaning litter box, playing, feeding), to playing with your dog at a dog park or helping them get exercise, I would love to care for your furry family member. Whether you have a dog or a cat, I would never harm your furry friend in any way. I only want to love and care for your pet, and I would love the opportunity to help out you and your family with any pet care tasks you need while you're at work, on a vacation, or if you just need an extra set of hands!
