Pet care experience

Your Pet's Comfort, Our Priority

I've come from an extended background of caring for all types of animals as I grew up on a farm; from caring for horses, cows, chickens, and bunnies to my personal favorites of dogs and cats. I was an active member of 4-H throughout my youth participating in dog shows in obedience and dog agility. I have a passion for all types of animals and have experience caring for sensitive rescue animals as I have owned two rescue dogs and fostered several litters of kittens. I want to bring my passion and experience caring for all types of animals into my Rover pet care services and ease the stress of finding quality pet care.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a spacious apartment in a safe neighborhood away from busy streets. There are multitudes of walking trails and neighborhood walks. I have a small cat to keep your pet company but can easily be kept separate as well if desired. I have access to parks within walking distance and an overall pet safe haven here at our home.

Mikayla was amazing! We had a delay on our flight and ended up getting home a day later than planned. She took care of things no problem and was so communicative the whole time!

Mikayla was amazing! She was so attentive to my dog’s needs. I have a high-energy dog and Mikayla got her out on lots of walks, played with her often, and kept me updated with photos. My dog clearly was obsessed with her, and I had so much peace of mind knowing she was taken care of so well.

Mikayla did an excellent job of watching and caring for our dogs while we were away on an extended weekend trip. It was the first trip we've taken where we left the dogs with someone else, so needless to say we were pretty anxious about it all. Our dogs took to her immediately. While we were gone, she sent us multiple updates with photos throughout the day and really put us at ease. She took great care of our dogs and our house and we were super happy about the experience. We definitely recommend her for house/dog sitting and will hire her again in the future!
