Pet care experience

I’d love to help your furry babies!

Hi there! I am a UIUC Animal Science senior with a lifetime of animal experience. My background includes 3 years working professionally at a boarding kennel, active volunteering at an animal shelter, and a lifetime handling large animals, including horses. Due to this, I am fully comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I look forward to giving your pet the loving care they deserve while you are away!

I highly recommend Michaela for your pet and house sitting needs! She is very responsible and conscientious. I trust her completely with our dogs and horses. Your fur babies are in great hands when they are being cared for by Michaela!
