I am pursuing my Master's degree in education, which gives me a very flexible and adaptable schedule. Pet care on Rover is one of my priorities, so I have plenty of availability for your pet. I am available for overnight sits, walks, and drop-in visits on weekdays and weekends, and I carefully manage my schedule to ensure I have quality time for every booking. I split my time between Alexandria and the Twin Cities, and my calendar is always kept up to date for my availability in each location.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide pet care in your home and not in my own, as I do not offer boarding or day care services. This allows your pet to stay in their familiar, safe environment, which I believe is best for their comfort. I am very organized and reliable, and I will strictly follow all of your instructions regarding feeding, medicine, and routines. You can trust that I will treat your home with the utmost respect and provide constant communication, including photo updates, to ensure your peace of mind while you are away.

Information Micaela B. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best possible care, it's important for me to learn about your pet's unique personality, likes, and dislikes. Please let me know about their daily routine, specific needs, and any quirks they may have. This helps me ensure that our time together is not only safe and comfortable for your pet but also full of all of their favorite things. The more I know about them, the better I can make their time with me feel like home!

A typical day

A typical day with me is a perfect blend of mental stimulation, physical activity, and plenty of affection. We'll start the day with a nice walk and some playtime to get the energy out, whether it's a game of fetch or tug-of-war. For mental enrichment, we'll practice commands and work on puzzle toys to keep their minds sharp and engaged. After all that fun, we'll wind down with plenty of cuddle time, belly rubs, and quiet moments, ensuring your pet feels safe and loved. I believe in giving every pet the same care and attention I give my own, so you can be sure your dog or cat will be happy, engaged, and comfortable.

Loving Care from a Lifelong Owner

Pet care experience

My lifelong passion for animals began as a child with my family's cat and guinea pigs. When I was 10, I took on the responsibility of caring for my Shiba Inu, Mia. I dedicated myself to her training, teaching her numerous commands like "sit" and "stay," and I gained invaluable experience with a breed known for its temperament. I am experienced in administering oral medications and tick/lice preventatives. As a teenager, I adopted a cat and continued to build my experience by volunteering at a local humane society and caring for a neighbor's dog. Friends and family have also relied on me for house and cat sitting.

Micaela has done many mid day drop ins to let my pups out. She is timely, gives me a through report and works on training skills and brushes them out for me. Highly recommend booking with her

Micaela is an amazing pet sitter. She watched my doggies and chickens and provides amazing service. She was just the right amount of communicative while being respectful of me being on vacation. I will 100 percent book her again!!!
