Hi, I’m Mikaela, the founder of Canine Motion Care and a licensed physical therapist with a passion for helping dogs live their best lives. I’m certified in canine rehabilitation through the Canine Rehabilitation Institute (CCRT) and bring a unique combination of human physical therapy expertise and specialized canine training to every session. My journey in health and movement began with a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from the University of Southern Maine, followed by my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Plymouth State University. Along the way, I served in the Army National Guard—first as an enlisted soldier and later as a commissioned Medical Service Officer . That experience deepened my commitment to service, precision, and care—values that now shape my approach to canine rehabilitation. At home, I’m lucky to share life with my husband and our dog, Finley—who continually reminds me why I do what I do. I believe in treating every dog like family and supporting their people with education, empathy, and expert care. Whether your dog is healing, aging, or just needs a little extra help getting around, I’m here to guide the way with a thoughtful, hands-on approach that puts your dog’s comfort and progress first.
