Loving, Flexible & Reliable Care
Hello, fellow pet lovers! My name is Mikayla. I’m 26 years old, grew up in Germany, and moved to San Diego last year, where I live in the beautiful Point Loma area. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I grew up surrounded by cats, guinea pigs, and our beloved family Shar-Pei. I started pet-sitting during my university days in Germany and have been doing it ever since through friends, family, and online platforms. Today, I work as a freelance writer and part-time in a restaurant. Because of this schedule, I am pretty flexible throughout the week. Plus, I have my own car, so I’m always reliable and mobile. Whether your dog loves long, scenic walks or your cat prefers quiet cuddle time, I tailor my care to their unique routine. Your peace of mind is my top priority. I take your trust very seriously and love sending daily photo updates so you always know your furry friend is happy and safe. I’ll treat your pets with the exact same love and dedication as if they were my own, and I can’t wait to meet you and your companion! Best regards, Mikayla 🐾

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Mikayla was great with Rudy. He felt right at home, got daily updates, and he was returned in good condition. Upon pickup and even when we got home he was calm satisfied and in no way distressed. All signs of excellent care. Couldn't recommend Mikayla more!
Really appreciate Mikayla for being able to watch Harley with not much notice. She provided updates and photos so I knew Harley was doing well. Would recommend her!
Mikayla is truly exceptional when it comes to caring for pets. She has looked after our dog Max several times, whether for full days of care or just taking him for walks, and she’s always been completely reliable. Max, who can be a bit shy with new people, warmed up to her right away, and it’s clear how much he enjoys his time with her. Mikayla also sends updates and pictures during the day, which gives us so much peace of mind. Knowing Max is happy and well cared for makes all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend her!
I know Mikayla since a long time and she has been taking care of my pets for a few years now. Every time I’m gone, she’s the first person I’ll ask to take care of my two dogs and one cat. She is always keeping me up-to-date and sends me pictures every day to make sure that I know that my baby’s are in loving and caring hands. I appreciate Mikayla a lot because I can trust her in my home and around my animals. She’s a good communicator by phone or in person, always does her best to be in touch. So if you’re looking for a perfect dog sitter or cat sitter, I would always recommend Mikayla!
Immediately, anyone can sense that Mikayla has a profound and sincere love for animals. Any pet is in good hands with her because she treats them as her own.

Schedule
Alongside my passion for animals, I work as a freelance writer, which gives me the flexibility to integrate pet sitting seamlessly into my daily routine. Working from home allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, going on walks, engaging in playtime, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I can adjust my day to suit your pet’s specific needs. Cats often enjoy quiet companionship, while dogs thrive with a balance of activity and affection—and I’m here to provide both.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for your pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness, tailoring my approach to their unique needs—whether I’m walking your dog or looking after your cat at home. For dogs, I ensure safe and enjoyable walks, using secure harnesses and choosing quiet, pet-friendly routes. Each walk is customized to match their energy levels and preferences, whether it’s a playful park visit or a relaxed stroll. I focus on positive interactions to build trust and keep them comfortable. For cats, I provide attentive care in the familiar comfort of your home. I stick to their routine, keep their space clean, and offer affection or playtime based on their personality. For shy cats, I provide calm companionship, respecting their boundaries. If your cat requires medication or special care, I handle it with precision and care. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority!
A typical day
For cats, I’ll visit your home to feed them, refresh their water, clean the litter box, and spend time playing or offering quiet companionship, depending on their personality. For dogs, I provide fun walks tailored to their energy level, often exploring nearby parks or nature trails, and make sure they stay active with playtime and exercise. My care is always adapted to your pet’s unique needs, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know they’re in great hands.

- To provide the best care, I’d love to know a bit about your pet’s personality, routine, and any special needs. Details like their feeding schedule, favorite activities, medical conditions, or any quirks help me ensure they feel safe and comfortable. For dogs, knowing about training or leash behavior is also important. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to keep them happy and well cared for!
