Loving & Experienced Caregiver
Pet care experience
Choosing a pet sitter or walker is not a choice taken lightly by pet owners. My partner, Chandler, and I use Rover, personally, when we need to, so both of us understand what the responsibilities and expectations are as an owner. We’re here to give your pets a great time so you can rest assured they're taken care of. I request that your animal is up to date on the following vaccines on the day the booking starts: Rabies, Bordetella, and Leptospirosis. Please be ready to provide a copy of your pet's vaccination status or exemption letter signed by a veterinarian when reaching out to me. I have had dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds my whole life. I always had 3 dog roommates growing up of every size of dog out there! I come from a family that loves animals like children, so it's pretty natural for me to feel comfortable and form bonds with patience and understanding. Currently, living in Chandler and I’s house is a 6 lb. chihuahua mix rescue, Winston, a 4-year-old gray cat, Storm, a 3-year-old tuxedo cat, Limbo, and Mouse, a 9-month-old white kitten. I have worked with cats and dogs professionally on Rover, Wag, and private, local clients for almost 7 years in Austin, Brooklyn, and now in Denver. Chandler has been active on Wag! and Rover for about 4 years. This has given me an insight into all dithe fferent lifestyles of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments to be a trusted stand-in for your routines. I’ve always highly respected animals and their relationships with humans and fully intend on doing so with your fur babies. My pup was heart-worm positive when I rescued him giving me plenty of experience with giving oral medicine properly during his treatment. I also have experience with oral cat medication and dog diabetes medication. As for caregiving in general, I also have experience as a full-time nanny and part-time babysitter for families with dogs! Hopefully, we can work something out! Looking forward to meeting you. :~)
Reviews
Communicative as always!
Micaela paid such close attention to our boy, Timber, who is in the throes of potty training. He had NO accidents today thanks to Micaela’s attentiveness
Micaela did a great job of being present, communicative, and treating our puppy with much love and attention!
Very attentive and communicative. Did a great job of redirecting poor behavior and was super patient with Timber

Safety, trust & environment
If at my house, I have a fenced yard that I inspect regularly. My pup, Winston, will give your pet some company if needed. I provide separate feeding locations whether at your house or mine. I can also crate your animal at your request. I err on the side of caution with everything. I will make sure your pets are within my eyesight at all times! To ensure safety for my animals, if you are planning on boarding, your dog *must* be comfortable and friendly with both cats and small dogs under 10 pounds and be able to meet my dog before booking at a neutral location. Please understand that Winston, Storm, and Limbo are like my kids so their safety is my priority. sometimes dogs just don’t mesh well although I’ve never seen a dog thus far that Winston doesn’t like.

Information Micaela L. would like to know about your pet
I request that your animal is up to date on the following vaccines: Rabies, Bordetella, and Leptospirosis. Please be ready to provide a copy of your pets vaccination status or exemption letter signed by a veterinarian when reaching out to me. I would like to know your daily schedule to keep as consistent as possible. Also, any anxieties/triggers your pup has, which collar/harness you prefer, and how they are with animals or people we might encounter (dogs, cats, squirrels, lizards, etc.). Are you working on any behavior skills that I can keep consistent, i.e. commands? Anything in their medical history I should know about? Ideally, I would bring my small 7 lb dog with me to sittings, so if you are okay with that, please let me know how your pet did with prior small dogs. Please understand that this is *not* a deal-breaker, I will keep my dog at home if you are unsure or sure your pet is reactive to dogs, specifically small ones. I absolutely do not want to take risks with this. If anything should happen and it comes to light you were not truthful about this, you will be liable for any and all financial charges related to any incident that may arise. Also, I'd love to hear about things your dog likes/loves in particular (favorite treats, toys, etc.)! If at my house, I need to know how your dog reacts specifically to cats and dogs under 10 pounds. Your pets must meet mine prior to booking a boarding stay.
A typical day
On days I'm not outside or working, I spend a lot of time working on my art, watching movies, gardening, or hiking. I hang out with my pets inside while I work on my computer, read a book, or watch some tv for a few hours at a time.

Chandler and I's schedule rarely overlaps more than 6 hours. I can let you know which days and specific times Chandler and/or I will be with your pet if requested; Chandler and I aim for as close to 24/7 as we can. I keep my calendar up to date as far in advance as I can.
