Passionate about Pets
Pet care experience
I've had a love for animals my entire life. Growing up, I was the child that laid on the floor with my pup when she wasn't feeling well, now I'm the adult that goes to work eagerly at an animal hospital because I'm passionate about pet care. I'm currently working on my Bachelors degree in Marine Biology, and debating on pursing Vet school in the future. My house will be your pet's home away from home. I work full time at an animal hospital but my house is free reign to pets boarding with me, they will not be crated during their stay with me. During the day while I'm at work your pet will have access to enrichment puzzles to keep them entertained, when I arrive home it's time for evening walks and play! At my town home I have a fenced in yard, while your pet stays in my care my house is their house. Pets are allowed and encouraged to be on the furniture. When visiting a client's home the rules are up to the client, I'll follow guidelines they provide regarding their home and their pet. The most important thing to me is that the pet is comfortable.
Reviews
Michaela was very easy to work with from scheduling a meet and greet, dropping off and picking up. I had no concerns about leaving our dog with Michaela. We could enjoy our Thanksgiving vacation without any worries about the care Bella was receiving. Michaela sent pictures and was always quick to respond to any texts. I would not hesitate to use her again to care for Bella or to recommend her to others who want to be sure their dog is well cared for.
Michaela has loved animals her entire life. She has never thought of pups as animals but they are family. Puppy hugs and kisses are her favorite things in the world.
