Highlights
Pet care experience
You’re barking up the right sitter!
What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and lifelong connection to animals. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has been part of my everyday life from a young age. I’m comfortable with all temperaments, sizes, and routines, and I understand animal behavior on a deeper level.I’ve also worked at shelter, which taught me how to handle special needs, anxious pets, medication routines, and animals recovering from injury or stress. I know how to stay calm, patient, and confident in any situation, and I pay close attention to each animal’s unique needs.Because of this background, you can trust that your pets are in knowledgeable, capable, and truly caring hands. ** I DO NOT SERVICE DOGS WHO BITE OR NIP**

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, either in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment so they feel secure and well loved. I start by following the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space, keep things tidy, and maintain the pet’s usual comfort zones. When pets stay in my home, I set up a cozy area with their favorite toys, beds, and anything the owner provides to help them feel at ease. I give plenty of playtime, exercise, enrichment, and affection based on each pet’s personality, active dogs get long walks and games, while shy cats might prefer gentle play and quiet company. Throughout the visit, I provide fresh water, keep their space clean, and monitor their behavior to make sure they're happy and healthy. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and having a great time.
Ratings and reviews
Mykayla did a wonderful job of taking care of our pets (two dogs and a cat). She did everything exactly as we asked for "the boys" and watered our plants as well. She sent pics of everything and daily text updates. The boys seemed to enjoy her company immensely. We sincerely appreciate her making us feel comfortable going on vacation with no worries.
Mykayla did an outstanding job taking care of our pets. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced. Our dogs and cat took to her right away, which says a lot. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated, and went above and beyond by taking care of things we didn’t even ask her to do. That level of attention and care really stood out and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and everything was exactly as it should be. We will absolutely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and genuinely caring sitter.
Mykayla is the best dog and cat sitter ever! She’s so sweet, and both of our pets, which are shy, adore her. Her service and pet photos are so reassuring. We will definitely be hiring her in the future.
Mykayla was great sitting our cat Pepper. She took time to pet her and play with her each visit, as well as refreshing food, water, and litter box. We also got several pictures of our cat every day. Recommended!
My Kayla is so kind and great with our dog Oliver.
Couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter! She sent a ton of pictures and updates. We never once questioned our dog wouldn’t be taken well care of.

Schedule
I am currently a stay at home mom so pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I plan my schedule around the pets’ needs and make their care a consistent part of my day. Each morning starts with feeding, fresh water, and a check-in to make sure everyone is healthy and comfortable. For dogs, I build in regular walks, play sessions, and potty breaks throughout the day, while cats get interactive playtime, enrichment, and attention on their own terms. I also set aside time for cleaning—refreshing litter boxes, tidying up pet areas, and keeping feeding spaces organized. Throughout the week, I rotate in longer activities like grooming, deep cleaning, or special enrichment depending on the pet. I keep detailed notes and reminders so I always stay on top of routines, medications, or appointments. Because pet care is woven into my daily habits, it feels seamless, organized, and reliable—ensuring every pet gets consistent love and attention every single day.
