Pet care experience

Hi I’m Mika! I started Rover four years ago with my daughter, Valery, who was a Kinesiology major student, a personal trainer, and a volunteer at a dog/cat no-kill shelter. Now that Valery graduated and moved to SF, and I became an empty nester, I decided to keep this account and do what I love to do….taking care of fur babies! I have an adorable Jack Russell named Peter who is always looking for friends. Let me know if you have any questions! Looking forward to working with you and your dog!

Cannot recommend enough. So kind and understanding. I was in a meeting and couldn’t look at my phone right as she was at the front. By the time I was able to reply it was 30 min later. She offered to go back and finish the walk.

Mika has been wonderful this summer -- always reliable and communicative, not to mention patient with our overly eager dog on his regular walks through the neighborhood. We're looking forward to working with her lots more in the future!

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.
