Hi, I’m Mikayla 👋
I offer private, in-home pet care for dogs and cats.
I have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, personalities, and needs, including shelter work, dog daycare, and long-term pet sitting.
I prioritize maintaining pets’ existing routines, feeding schedules, and comfort levels to keep stress low while you’re away. In addition to dogs and cats, I’m happy to water plants, take out trash, feed fish, and maintain small pet enclosures. I am also comfortable working with senior pets, special needs pets, and administering medications as needed.
Care & presence
I stay at the client’s home full-time. I may occasionally step out briefly (usually no longer than an hour), but I’ll always let you know in advance if I need to be gone longer for any reason.
Availability & scheduling
My calendar reflects dates that are fully available or fully booked.
If a date shows limited availability, please reach out to discuss scheduling.
I require at least 48 hours’ notice for new bookings.
Bookings must be at least two nights.
Some single night stays will be available upon discussion.
Meet & greet
A meet and greet is required at least 48 hours before the first booking for new clients.
Payment & cancellation
A 50% deposit is due 48 hours before the booking to reserve your dates
The remaining balance is due within 24 hours after the booking ends
Cancellations are welcome up to 3 days before the booking
Cancellations after that window are non-refundable
Payment is made via Venmo (if Venmo doesn’t work for you, we can discuss alternatives)
Communication & updates
I send daily photos and updates via text.
Texting is my primary form of communication, calls are fine if needed.
Video calls are reserved for emergencies only.
Cameras
If you have indoor cameras, that's totally fine.
I just ask that they are disclosed ahead of time and not placed in private areas (bedroom, bathrooms).
Care instructions
Please leave clear, detailed instructions for your home and pets. I care for multiple households, and this helps me make sure nothing is missed and that your pets get exactly what they need.
If you ever have questions or need clarification, reach out any time.
I’m always happy to talk things through.
For privacy, my personal phone number will only be shared at the time of the meet and greet.
