Mikayla was so great while watching my dog. She was very communicative and gave regular updates with pictures. She checked in to make sure my dog was okay when being picky with his food and shared in the joy when he got comfortable enough to show his personality. Will definitely book with Mikayla again in the future!

Mikayla was responsive, transparent, flexible and willing to support our last-minute travel plan changes. We will certainly ask her to stay with our four-legged family members again!

Mikayla was great with house sitting my cat! She hung out with him, sent updates/pics, even put on this YouTube playlist he likes for the voices, and I felt sure he was cared for—even though I had to be gone for several days and he can be a nervous boy. Thank you!!

Mikayla is phenomenal! She was so patience with our anxious pets (a cat and a dog) and ensured both pets got lots of attention and care. She's quick to reply to messages and keeps you updated each day with photos & details about your fur babies. We'll definitely use Mikayla's services again when we travel!

Mikayla was amazing with my pup. This was our first time using Rover, and I’m so glad we chose her. She is super responsive, sends picture updates, and is extremely accommodating. Pancho can get very anxious, but he warmed up to her in no time. Definitely looking forward to booking with Mikayla again!

Schedule

I’m a nonprofit worker who moved to the DMV area in 2024. I work full-time but I only go into the office once a week, meaning that I can easily work remotely while caring for pets across the area. This gives me tons of flexibility to drop by and let your pets out and give them a hug! All my weekday evenings and weekends are all open to dedicate my time to your pets!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Mikayla can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know about any special circumstances that your pet may have, which could including food, bathroom schedules, or anything else worthy to note! I am committed to ensuring we are a good fit and being familiar with the pets before I watch them, just to ensure a peace of mind
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
