Social Worker Who Loves Animals!

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.

This was our first time using Rover and we booked Micaela based on her glowing reviews. She was fantastic! She sent us lots of pictures of our dogs every day. Before she watched them, she came over for a meet and greet and asked lots of great questions to ensure that she understood all of their little personality quirks and routines. She was friendly, respectful, and responsive. Our dogs loved her!

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!

I recently had the pleasure of having Micaela take care of my dog, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the start, Micaela was incredibly attentive and communicated with me regularly, ensuring that my dog felt comfortable and loved. she provided updates and shared adorable photos, which really put my mind at ease. Micaela clearly has a genuine love for animals, and it showed in the way she cared for my dog. I highly recommend Micaela to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
