Pet care experience
Big or small, I love them all!
Mikayla | True North Pet Care Hi! I’m a U.S. Navy veteran ⚓️ and a current student working toward my Bachelor’s in Animal Health & Behavior. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I have hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, chickens, fish, turtles, and birds. I’ve also volunteered with the Chesapeake Humane Society and the Peninsula SPCA, where I gained experience working with animals of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I trained in Pet CPR and First Aid through the SPCA as well. At home, I have two dogs, Hercules and Sparks, as well as two cats, Bandit and Quidditch. Living with animals every day has taught me that each pet has their own unique personality, and I truly enjoy getting to know what makes them special. A few important things to know before booking: • I typically offer drop-in visits (morning, afternoon, and night) rather than overnight stays. Overnight care may be available depending on the situation—just ask! • My 7-year-old son often accompanies me on visits. He has grown up around animals and is gentle, respectful, and experienced. For this reason, I’m unable to accept bookings for pets that are not comfortable around children. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family. You can feel confident knowing your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away ❤️

Safety, trust & environment
I have an apartment with a back yard where they will be able to run. At the client's home I will use the resources available to me rather they have a yard or not.
Ratings and reviews
Mikayla W. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Kind, considerate, responsive and kept my senior dog company (and also administered medication properly)! I appreciated the photos throughout the day. It gave me peace of mind knowing Mikayla was there for my girls while I was away.
Mikayla shared how Wallaby was doing. When I got home it was clear he wasn’t stressed out like he has been when I’m gone for extended times. That was such a relief! And knowing she takes care of dogs too I hope to be able to expand into having her back for that as well.
Mikayla was awesome! I felt very comfortable leaving Cooper with her.
Mikayla has been amazing! She is clear with communication and takes amazing care of them when I need someone to check in. Bonus points for the extra attention her son gives my kitties along with the best photos of them :)
Great job again. Thank you
