Experienced Animal Caregiver

Pet care experience

I have taken care of cats and dogs for my whole life. I started my professional animal care working as a farmhand, caring for horses dogs and cats from a young age. I have been a veterinary assistant for 4+ years and am comfortable medicating our furry friends. I've previously trained a deaf puppy for a neighbor. By the end of our time working together the dog had confidently learned sit, lie down, rollover and fetch via hand cues.

Myka was great! Easy to communicate with, updated us regularly, and kept the house tidy. Will reach out again when we need care. Thanks again!

Myka is awesome. So chill and just does great with our animals. We feel so comfortable when Myka is with our fur babies.

Myka was awesome. Right on time. Allowed us to stay in Richmond a little longer to have dinner with our grandkids after their play. Myka was responsive, positive, great sense of humor and stayed for several hours with no complaints. I would definitely have them come again.

Myka is just terrific with animals. He has had horses, cats and dogs throughout his life. He trained a neighbor's deaf Jack Russell dog and has successfully trained his own dog and pony. He has past vet care experience, is trustworthy, punctual, attentive to details and motivated to do his best for each animal entrusted to him. He is a caring person. I have known Myka for 31 years and entrust my animals to him whenever I need a hand.
