Safety, trust & environment

my senior cat sofia is specific with her needs, whether that’s the food she eats, the places she sleeps, or the litter i get. whatever her needs may be, whether she likes her hard food or gets sick of and only wants wet food, i make sure to listen. when she’s having a stomach ache or under the weather, i’m alerted and get her the best care i can provide. when it comes to family or friends animals like their dogs i like to spend a lot of time with them outside, taking them to parks, and even to hike depending on the kind of dog and their energy level. for clients i’ll ensure to keep them updated on their pets and if their were special instructions on how they want their pet to be treated i will do my best to make sure they are safe and well cared for.

Information micaela g. would like to know about your pet

please let me know if your pet has any special needs or requirements i should know about. i want to ensure all pets are provided the best care :)

A typical day

for dogs i would be taking them to parks or finding a nice place to do a hike (depending on the kind of dog and if they enjoy such activities). i also like to play with them, give them rubs, and play games too such as fetch or tag! for cats i like to ask clients about how they are so i make sure not to overstep, but to still be able to provide a safe and ensured service.

Pet care experience

i’m a first year college student pursuing a degree in science and mathematics. my goal is to have a career in wildlife rehabilitation or veterinary care. i also have experience within EMS & firefighting as i’ve been a volunteer since 16. i’ve always loved animals of any kind and have been in aw by my own pets. i have 2 cats and 2 dogs, but currently live with only my senior cat. shes very specific but i make sure to keep up on her needs and do whatever i can for my baby. my apartment doesn’t allow for animals but since being away i miss being around my dogs and other pets. i have experience looking after family and friends pets, but would love to start taking care of more pets within my community and gain more experience!

Chica is one of the sweetest people I know when it comes to animals. She’s a pet mom herself, with lots of experience in caring for them. She has so much compassion when it comes to her cats, always aims for the very best in everything from their food to their silly little outfits and toys, and has albums on top of albums of all of them. She never does anything half way, but in everything she does when it comes to taking care of animals, she gives her very all, despite the time or money it may take. Seeing hurt or stray animals, she’ll take her time to stop and make sure they’re safe and taken care of. She finds so much joy in meeting new dogs, loves playing with puppies, and is a massive cat admirer. She truly is such a heartfelt person and everything she does for animals is so pure.

Chica is so wonderful with cats and dogs. She takes care of them so well. Its like the dogs and cats get instantly attached. Her way with pets its like they know how gentle, caring, and loving she is. It may sound funny but its like she's a cat whisperer and a dog lover. You will be very pleased on how well Micaela will take care of your fur baby.
