About: Hi there! I’m a huge animal lover who’s grown up around both cats and dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 cats of my own, and I know what it is like to want them to be in the best hands while you’re away. I have cared for family, friends and neighbors dogs- from home visits to long walks! I know every pet has their own personality—whether that’s a playful pup who needs lots of exercise or a shy cat who just wants a calm, cozy presence. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love building trust with animals. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. The comfort and safety of your furry friend always comes first :) Please feel free to reach out to schedule a booking! I am currently going to college online, and have a very flexible schedule. Caring for animals during the day would be the perfect task to unwind from schooling! I also have some weekend availability, if that is what’s needed for you and your pets. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. That means sticking closely to feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions. I also pay attention to behavior and body language so I can adjust—whether your dog needs extra exercise or your cat just wants a calm companion. I keep things clean, safe, and organized in your home, and I always send updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and everything just as you left it.
“Jason was great and Benny loved him. He was very nice and considerate when it came to watching my dog. I will definitely use Jason again in the future and would recommend him to other pet owners!”

“Julie is wonderful! She has so much knowledge and experience working with dogs, but she also has so much heart and passion. We’re so happy we have someone so reliable we can trust with our boy.”

Every pet has their own personality and I completely understand any accommodations or activities your pet needs.

About: Pet sitter with 10 years experience. 5 years veterinary experience as well as training and grooming experience. I've never had a job that didn't involve animals and I would never change that. My passion for animal care is unmatched and I truly love what I do. I'm able to provide an array of different services including but not limited to day long hikes as well as beach trips. Whether your furry friend needs a quick 30-minute walk or an all-day adventure, I've got you covered! Mine and my fiancé's life revolves around our own 2 dogs and they are spoiled rotten. They're the reason I get up in the morning, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. From 6 am wake-up calls for puppy cuddles to 10 pm bedtime stories (yes, you read that right - my dogs love a good bedtime story!), our fur babies are the center of our universe. Some fun facts about me are I played competitive travel softball for 13 years - I'm talking national championships, folks! And in my free time, when not hiking with my own dogs or yours, I love to get creative with pottery. It's my go-to stress-reliever, and I hope to open my own studio one day. But enough about me - let's talk about your furry friend! What are their favorite toys, treats, and activities!! Tell me everything, and let's get this paw-some adventure started! I’m currently working full time as a pet sitter!! So if you need someone reliable and consistent please feel free to reach out! I’m here for you :) I’m currently working with no yard so we have changed the “normal” we plan 1 adventure a day for boarding dogs weather that be a long hike.. a trip to the beach or in indoor activity in a pet friendly store you’re pup will be well occupied. Boarding pups will also get multiple 15-30 min walks a day and have full access to my home. I have 2 pups who are 2 different activity levels so someone will always have a friend. The toy basket is bottomless and the couch is fair game :) when your pup stays with me they will always be the number 1 priority.

Rochester dog parents share their Rover experiences
Mikayla took wonderful care of Bruschi during his walk, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly thoughtful about making sure he was comfortable and well cared for. It’s obvious she truly enjoys spending time with animals, and that kindness really shows in how she interacts with them. I felt completely at ease knowing Bruschi was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Mikayla to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely compassionate with pets.
