Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Micaela and I last used Rover in grad school, where I got to meet the cutest pups and cats. I am now a counselor and want to spend my spare time looking after your beloved pets. I have a cat of my own, who is very much a single child, so my services will be conducted in the comfort of your home. I have a long history of watching my fellow colleague’s dogs, cats, my past roommates dogs, multiple fosters, and a hamster of my own. I am located in North Austin but happy to drive to you. I am very interactive, flexible, and would love to keep you updated with pictures as you request about your fur babies.

We had a fantastic experience with Michaela. She took excellent care of my dog—daily updates, lots of attention, and a real sense of care. I came home to a happy pup! I highly recommend her!

Micaela was wonderful and attentive! Our dog can get very anxious and our cat struggles with new people. Both pets loved Micaela and warmed up quickly, even our cat made multiple appearances! Micaela provided photo updates that certainly make my travel away from home easier. Will hire again and would highly recommend to others!

Such a great experience!!! Our 7 year old Greyhound was thrilled to hang out with Micaela for the week. Fantastic house and dog sitter.

You can always count on Micaela to deliver a caring, kind and fun experience for your pet. She takes good care of the home, communicates well and provides the environment your pup needs while you’re away. Thanks for your time!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
