I’m a college student with a part-time job, and I excel at multitasking. Spending time with animals is not only enjoyable for me but also a great way to unwind. I’m available for regular walks, house sitting, and multiple daily check-ins, as well as overnight stays. With my short work shifts and a flexible class schedule, I can easily accommodate your pet care needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets' safety is always my top priority when pet sitting. Ensuring a pet’s safety in their own home requires attentiveness and preparation. I carefully follow owner’s instructions, supervise the pet closely, and make sure the environment is free of hazards. I keep emergency contacts on hand, monitor the pet for signs of stress, and am prepared to act quickly if needed. I've also worked with many anxious pets in the past so I understand that they may need a little more care and closeness. With a focus on security and comfort, I provide consistent care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind.

Information Micaela C. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for any pet, it’s important to know their routine, temperament, medical needs, and any special instructions. Just tell me about your baby! I am hear to listen and learn, any information you feel is necessary is important to me!

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and engaged, so I tailor activities based on their energy level and personality. For playful pets, I can do games like fetch, tug-of-war, or go exploring. For calmer animals, I enjoy relaxing walks, gentle grooming, or just spending quiet time giving them attention and affection. My goal is always to keep them comfortable, safe, and having fun while their owners are away.

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for animals my entire life, starting with the many pets I grew up with. Over the years, I’ve gained experience house sitting and pet sitting for families and friends, ensuring their pets were happy and well cared for. While I still currently house sit for those with pets, I also work on a farm, where I handle a wide range of animals daily, further strengthening my skills and dedication to animal care!

Micaela was amazing! She took lots of pictures and sent me an update of how the day went every evening. My dog had a great time! I’d love to have her watch Shadow the next time we go out of town

Micaela did a great job taking care of our “ boys”. We have two cats, and I am sure they appreciated everything that Micaela did for them. She cleaned up after them and fed them. Provided water and playtime and attention. We highly recommend Micaela if you want your babies well cared for when you go away.
