Pet care experience

Treating your pets like people!

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! I also do exotics!

Pets

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)

Mikelah is truly the best! She noticed our Violet was seeming a bit off and offered to come by an extra time to check on her again. She kept us updated on her condition and because of her we caught that Violet had a bad pneumonia far sooner than we would have otherwise! Violet is on the mend now thanks to Mikelah’s care and attention to detail. She’s truly loves our babies like they’re her own. We couldn’t be more grateful for her!

Mikelah did an amazing job doing reoccurring visits while I was out of town. She has great communication, leaves the best rover cards with lots of photos, is punctual and considerate, and was so gracious about doing some short notice additional drop-ins. Highly recommend!

Mikelah has been so great! She is punctual and always leaves a great overview of her time with my dog. She always takes lots of photos and it looks like he is having the best time with her. I’d book again without hesitation!

We are so grateful we found Mikelah! We were nervous about leaving our dog Sophie with anyone besides family or friends, but she made the entire experience so comfortable and stress-free. She was beyond amazing with our pets, very communicative, punctual, and thoughtful throughout every visit. Her photo updates were honestly the best and gave us peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about the animals she watches. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Schedule

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. Right now I have classes most weekdays however even if I have the day blocked off I might still be able to take care of your pups especially if you are wanting me to drop in at a later time.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Mikelah can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
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.
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.
