Comfort,Care & Safety (10+ yrs exp)

Hello! starting 9/24/26 I will be accepting bookings again! I stopped my services after a bad sit but I am back and ready to continue! I am also offering discounted prices for fall! **Please disregard the most recent review as it is a false representation of my services. You can also view my response to the false review. I hope you will read the others which are true, genuine, positive experiences. Nonetheless, I’m happy to earn your trust and show you why you should book with me. I’d love to sit for you! A bit about me: I’ve raised 4 different dogs in my lifetime (a yorkie, golden doodle & chihuahuas). I’ve also raised two cats from birth to adulthood and their litters (I’m familiar with kitten care as well). All my babies from dogs to cats, turtles, hamsters etc have all been well cared for and welcomed into my family. I’ve watched various pets over the years, all with great experiences, reviews and returning customers. If you’re looking for a responsible sitter that will play with and care for your pet as my own, take your dog on long walks, feed your pet healthy meals and treats; then you’ve come to the right place! I’ve been a pet owner for over 15 years and I have loads of experience with all types of cats and dogs from big to small, active to less active, playful and less playful- you name it. I’m happy to house sit or drop in and care for your baby while you’re away! I look forward to working together!!

Safety, trust & environment

Just so you know your pet is safe and having fun, we can have regular FaceTime calls or I can send pictures. When I go out of time I always ask for updates of my pets through photos daily just because I miss seeing their faces and want to know they are safe. I would do the same for your pet.

Wouldn’t book again. Came home to my apartment not being clean. 3 clumps of dog poop was in my living room which had been there for quite some time. And there was some lack of communication.

Mikaylah took excellent care of our cats and our house while housesitting. She gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in good hands. I would recommend booking her services, and would book her again!

Nice person. She left our house nice and tidy. There was a big problem though. She brought her own cat to our house. That was totally unacceptable. Please take us off your list. We'll never book with Rover again.

It would be best to know ahead of time if your pet is allergic to anything or should not eat certain foods or treats. Also if you know your pet gets aggressive, easily scared or anything of that nature please let me know in advance. Also if your puppy/kitten isn't potty trained or pees when nervous that would be great to know ahead of time. Thank you!
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.
