Veterinary Technician & Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

My name is Micaela. I have been a Veterinary technician for 5 years, with over 20 years of animal experience total, both from personal experience and my profession. I have two cats of my own, who I absolutely adore. I am skilled in taking care of Cats, Dogs, Horses, and pocket pets. I do not offer boarding as my apartment does not allow this service, but I do offer house stays, technician visits for nail trims, medication administration, and medical monitoring, especially for the more difficult pets. I offer assistance with training, walks, and pet sitting while you are at work or on vacation. If I notice anything wrong with your pet, I am able to check vitals and take your pet(s) to his/her veterinarian with your consent. I will also take your pets to their routine veterinary visits and be your advocate if you cannot be present. I am very skilled and knowledgeable in what I do, and will help you navigate the pet care world if you have questions or concerns. *Prices vary based on the services requested* As a medical professional, I do require that your Dogs and Cats be up to date on their vaccinations (at least Rabies, as it is State Law in RI and MA) and Annual Visits. Proof of this will be requested during our first meeting. This just keeps everyone safe and helps me if there is an emergency. Please be transparent. I want to keep your pets safe and provide excellent care, so please inform me of what they do and do not tolerate, strengths and weaknesses, and any medical issues.

We’ve known Micaela since she was 3 years old. She has always been a pet lover. We would watch her, every day, taking care of her dog with such gentleness and concern as young as she was. She was such a loving, thoughtful, caring person towards all animals and we had a notion that she would grow up and have a passion for pets. We were right! We know from personal experience if there is anyone who you can trust with your pet’s life, it’s Micaela! ❤ Celia & John L.

Micaela is incredibly well educated and experienced with working with a variety of animals. She works intuitively and truly understands the language pets use to convey their needs. She has taught me strategies to better train my stubborn and grumpy-with-other-animals Corgi, has accurately diagnosed his hip strain (from a video of him struggling to walk up the stairs no less!), and prepared me for the treatment that my vet would go on to recommend. Micaela is one of the kindest, most empathetic people I’ve ever met and it is my absolute pleasure to recommend her!

Micaela is a wonderful care taker for our animals. She's always willing to go above and beyond for them. We have two crazy dogs (super crazy) and shes always calm and helpful with taking care of them

Micaela is a great woman with a kind living heart. She is an animal lover as it shows in her previous jobs as a veterinary technician. She has done a great job in the past in taking great care of our dog Riker while we were away.
