Treating your pets like people!
Pet care experience
I have always been an animal lover but I really started getting into taking care of animals in high school. My first job was at Country Friends Vet Clinic. During that time I got my CVA 1 certification(certified veterinary assistant) and I ended up working for them until I graduated high school(an amazing 2 1/2 years!). During my high school years I adopted two cockatiels named Ollie and Speckles. They became my bestest little friends. It was then that I realized I loved taking care of pets. My senior year of high school I also ended up adopting a Leopard Gecko I named Hikari! She loves watching top gun😂. I then moved out to college and got my Bachelor’s Degree while working as an Operating Room technician at Texas A&M Small Animal Hospital. I also recently(Nov. 2024) earned my RECOVER Basic Life Support Certification. It was in college that I got my first pup, Atreides. She was my soul dog and I loved her to bits. Three years later I adopted my Belgian Malinos, Azula, to give her a friend. I also found out that I love training dogs and so I spend most of my free time seeing what crazy things I can teach my pups! After Atreides passed, I adopted another German Shepherd in honor of her, a puppy named Ashoka. She is my little shadow and always makes sure I’m taken care of. All of this is to say I have tons of experience with high energy pups and I don’t forget the small animals!
Reviews
She did an amazing job walking and feeding my pup. She took the time to walk thoroughly. She also played and praised my dog for good behavior. Many thanks! Trustworthy help during a short trip away from home is worth it. I highly recommend.
Mikelah is amazing. I've witnesses her love for pets- treating them as if they were her own, showing love and respect. I love that Mikelah is a certified veterinary professional and that she has so much knowledge and years of experience, too. I highly recommend Mikelah and we already miss her a bunch! You are lucky to have found her! <3
Mikelah is an exceptional person with a loving and kind heart for pets. I have worked alongside her for the past two years and have known her for over 10 years prior to that. She possesses great integrity! You will not need to worry about you furry family member while they are being cared for by her! She is someone I would trust with my own pets who are family to me!
Mika is just absolutely amazing with animals! She is intelligent, dedicated, detail oriented, and has the passion needed to care for any pet as it were her own! You cannot go wrong with hiring her for you fur-babies or feathered-babies care! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am a big fan of always having something stimulating for your pet to do! Whether that is playing with toys, doing enrichment toys, or training basic obedience I like to make sure I am doing something exciting with your pet! With all that play I always remember to provide water in this Texas heat. While taking care of your fur babies I will feed, walk, play and clean up after them so you don’t have to worry when you are away! I also love exotics!(I have two cockatiels and a leopard gecko)
Information Mikelah W. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if the animal has any special instructions or behaviors I need to prepare for. For example, dog aggression, dietary needs, anything they are allergic to, or simply they paw at the door in order to be let out.
A typical day
I love to play fetch or tug a war with dogs! I also like to work on simple commands like "Sit" and "Stay" to keep the dog interactive. I typically do long walks so we can get some of the energy out and to explore the area!

Availability
I am a full time college student so during the school year I might have a little more limited of a schedule but if I’m free I’ll definitely be able to swing by to check on your fur babies! I will also have more time on weekends to care for your pets.
