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!

Tim was absolutely amazing. He stayed in contact and I could tell my animals really loved having him there. He was so accommodating. Right before the trip we sadly lost one of our loved fur babies and Tim sent me pictures every day of his grave everyday and still kept his spirit alive and it touched my heart. Would recommend to anyone to have him watch there pets as he was truly amazing.

Kristin D. provided excellent care for our dogs during our absence. Being first-time leave-at-home pet owners, we were initially hesitant, but Kristin diligently sent us regular photo updates, which greatly reassured us. We are highly satisfied with her service and intend to engage her again in the future.

About: Provide attention to details and communication through text and pictures daily. Specializes in senior care and accommodations like medication. Daily walks, hugs, and belly rubs. I currently work from home therefore I can be available weekdays and weekends. I am able to provide a routine if needed like walks or feeding time. I live in an apartment that provides pet areas. No other pets in my home (sadly have passed). Daily attention, hugs, playtime, and communication are a must.

About: I have my own personal dog, Quinn. She is a 7 year old rescue pit bull. I got her during covid and we have been attached at the hip since then. I have taken care of my sisters dog who is a frenchie and from taking him on short walks to feeding him his meds in meat, I was always there for him. I have also taken care of my in laws dog when they go on vacation and make sure she is loved and cared for while they are gone. I am very reliable, follow any directions given by the book, and love all animals that come my way. I am a teacher going on summer vacation so my availability will be more open. Every morning I wake up and I take my dog out on her walk and potty break. When I come back in, I feed her and also give her water before I go to work. Afterwards, we lounge around the house or sometimes I take her to the dog park. Then in the afternoon, on her routine, I take her out for her last potty break, and her last walk of the day. When taking care of other pets, I make sure to follow their specific directions they leave me. I have dealt with dogs that have a specific diet, medicines they have to take, or extra energy they have to let out.

About: I've owned a dog for as long as I can remember. Dachshunds are my favorite breed because they are such great cuddlers. I have owned many breeds including: chihuahuas, pit bull, dachshunds, mixed poodles, blue healers and border collies. I'd like to think of myself as someone who knows exactly what a dog is thinking - but that has yet to be confirmed by them. I'm recently retired so my daily schedule varies. Pet visits are an easy fit for me any time of the day. You will find I'm quite flexible and easy to work with. At this point, I prefer to come to your house for pet sits. I'm happy to just drop by, or sit with them during your work day. Just let me know.

About: Hi, I’m Gabriella — a dependable and compassionate pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I’ve been working with animals since 2018 and am experienced with both dogs and cats, from playful, energetic pets to shy or senior companions who need extra patience and care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, medication reminders, or simply giving your pets attention and companionship, I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring, trustworthy hands. I currently have full-time open availability for drop-in visits, doggy daycare, and dog walking for both cats and dogs. I’m also able to keep pets on a consistent routine schedule during the days I’m booked with them to help them stay comfortable and adjusted. I have a fenced backyard and can accommodate specific care instructions based on your pet’s home routine, especially for drop-in visits. I’m also able to provide neighborhood walks or trips to dog parks depending on what’s best for your pet and their comfort level.

Justice is always great with Gizmo and was sure to send me plenty of photos of him during his visit. Gizmo is partial to men and he definitely enjoys Justice's company. Justice makes my nervous boy feel at ease when I am out of town. He is definitely one of the best sitters and one of the few men in my area offering pet sitting services. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a great sitter!

Hannah was great with my cat. He warmed up to her immediately and was great with him while I was gone. I was nervous since it was my first time leaving him overnight, and I was gone for over a week. But he did well under her care. And she went above and beyond by cleaning around his litter box, taking out the litter box's trash when needed, and more. If I need to go on vacation again, I'm glad to know I have someone I can rely on to look after him again.
