Pet care experience

I run on laughter and smiles.

Hi, My name is Michaela! Growing up around animals of my own that demand love and attention has drawn me to apply to Rover. I want to make sure that the pets of others can stay happy and healthy while their owners are away. I have had experience walking, dog sitting and boarding dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities. I also have had experience working for a few Brooklyn, NY and Boston, MA based dog service companies that allowed me to have experience with an even larger range of dogs. I love being outdoors and know that having a furry pal next to me makes it that much better! I am a Full time fashion designer and pet caregiver that works from home, Luckily I get to give pups love and attention all day! I live in my childhood home with my family on a private dead-end, right across from a huge open field and just minutes away from the Arnold Arboretum!

We’ve used Michaela a bunch and she’s always flexible, communicative, and super caring! My dog has high anxiety and can be nervous and unpredictable around strangers and other dogs but Michaela handles him like a professional and makes him feel comfortable and at home.

This is the second time that our pup has stayed with Michaela. She accepted our request to book quickly and again took great care of our large dog. He came home relaxed and clearly well cared for.
