Reliable Dog Boarding with Love

With years of dedicated pet care experience, I am passionate about providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for your furry friends. I specialize in caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs, ensuring their unique needs are met with patience and compassion. I have experience training puppies in basic commands and housebreaking, and I am skilled in managing the special care required for senior dogs, including mobility support and medication administration. What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals, attention to detail, and commitment to individualized care. I treat each pet as if they were my own, offering plenty of play, cuddles, and stimulation. Rest assured, your dog will be in caring hands, receiving the attention, comfort, and care they deserve while you're away.

Mikayla is incredibly responsible, gentle, and attentive. She connects naturally with animals and treats every pet like her own. Truly a trustworthy, caring choice for any pet parent.

Mikayla is very great with animals. She is loving and has a nurturing manner. My dog hates to see her leave. Awesome caregiver to have.

Mikayla R. is one of those rare souls who loves with intention and cares with her whole heart. When she’s with animals, you can see a gentleness in her that can’t be taught — it’s just who she is. She creates a sense of safety and trust the moment she walks into a room. My pets have experienced her kindness firsthand, and they gravitate to her in a way that tells you everything you need to know. What makes Mikayla truly special is that she doesn’t just provide care — she provides comfort, reassurance, and genuine connection. She treats every animal as if they’re her own, and her compassion shows in every small detail. Anyone who chooses her will not only get exceptional service, but a caretaker with a beautiful heart. She is the kind of person you can trust without hesitation.

Safety, trust & environment

In my boarding dog service, safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I ensure a secure environment by monitoring pets closely and following health protocols. I build trust through gentle interaction and consistent routines, keeping pet owners updated regularly. The environment is clean, cozy, and filled with opportunities for exercise and play, making dogs feel safe, loved, and stress-free during their stay. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs to keep your fur baby company. If your dog is not good around other animals that is no problem with them staying separate. I accommodate to your needs.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch is filled with love, play, and enrichment. Mornings start with a energetic walk or outdoor playtime to get some fresh air and exercise. Throughout the day, I incorporate interactive toys, games like fetch or tug-of-war, and mental stimulation activities to keep their minds engaged. I also set aside quiet cuddle or nap times to ensure they feel safe and relaxed. In the afternoons, I might introduce new toys or puzzles to challenge their brains, and in the evening, we enjoy a relaxing walk or some calming play to wind down. My goal is to make each day fun, active, and enriching, ensuring pets stay happy and healthy.
