Safety, trust & environment

I know exactly the level of care I'd want for Leona when I'm away, and I bring that same standard to every client. That means more than just showing up. I make sure food and water bowls are clean, playtime is engaging, and affection is offered on your pet's terms. I'm a frequent communicator and will send photo updates and notes each visit so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved.

Information Micaela R. would like to know about your pet

To give your pet the best experience from day one, a little information goes a long way. For dogs, it helps to know whether they're leash trained, what commands they respond to, and how they do around other dogs and strangers. For cats, I'd love to know their favorite play styles, any hiding spots to be aware of, and whether they're shy or social with new people. On the logistics side: feeding amounts and schedules, where supplies are kept, and any quirks or routines I should know about.

A typical day

For dogs, our day starts with a brisk walk to explore the neighborhood or a trip to a local dog park for social pups. For cats, I focus on their specific preferences - whether that’s active play with a feather wand or quiet companionship for shy cats. Every visit includes fresh water and food, a potty break or litter box scoop, and plenty of affection tailored to your pet's energy level.

Reliable care from a pet parent

Pet care experience

I grew up in a house with three Siamese cats, and animals have been a constant in my life ever since, from living with roommates in multi-pet households to volunteering with adoption agencies. My own cat Leona (a Siamese Tortie) keeps me well-versed in the particular needs of vocal, opinionated animals! I'm detail-oriented, a frequent communicator, and I take great photos, so the updates you get won't just be reassuring, they'll be worth saving. If you're looking for someone dependable in the St. Pete area, I'd love to meet your pet!

Micaela was so amazing with our cats!! She got our notoriously shy cat to come out and eat out of her hand on one of her first visits, which has never happened before! We really appreciate her making them feel so comfortable and safe while we were away. Definitely recommend booking with Micaela! :)

Micaela did an amazing job. It brought us so much peace to see how happy our cats looked in all the pictures she sent us, with personalized care for their very different personalities- lots of play for the younger and lots of brushing for our older gal. It was their first time with her and they seem like great friends already!!

Micaela was amazing with Kendrick!! She was very communicative the entire time I was out of town, which was greatly appreciated since I have an older cat with a few ailments. I didn’t have to worry about him at all since I knew he was in good hands. I would definitely book Micaela again in a heartbeat!
