Lifelong Animal Lover/Caretaker!

Pet care experience

I grew up with animals- dogs, cats, bunnies, frogs, you name it. I've taken care of dogs ranging from puppy age up to seniors and have experience in helping train puppies, helping potty train, administering medication, exercising dogs, and regular day to day care. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their fur babies.

Micah made us feel so much better about leaving our two boys (Frank and Henry) for a week while we took some much-needed time away and went to South America. We knew she was going to be just lovely from our interview with her, but her consistent check-ins and photos were very reassuring. She not only hung out with our boys the entire week, but she kept a great watch on the house, too. She is very detail-oriented, flexible and communicative. Would highly recommend and hope to have her over again!

Micah sent us lots of updates and our pup got all the love and attention (and walks) she needed 💚

Micah is such a godsend for my little Bruce. He is a nervous dog with new people but Micah is patient and he always warms up to her and is well taken care of. Her communication is great and I always know the dog and the house are in good hands when I travel!

Information micah d. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or accommodations ahead of time. The dog's activity level ability to adjust to new friends is also good to know beforehand!

A typical day

I love playing with dogs- anything from playing fetch, tug of war, taking out for walks and/or jogs, going for a swim, you name it. I am definitely more hands on when it comes to dog care, unless your furry buddy is more of a cuddle bug, in which case my lap is open for all the snuggles and pets!
