I am currently an Allied Health student with Del Tech and have class or clinical rotation Monday - Thursday with the exception of holidays. It is possible I could be gone for 8-9 hours a day for class/ clinicals. Please consider this before booking with me as my schedule may not align with your pets potty routine. However, I will not have any class or clinical hours all of summer 2026 and am happy to spend as much time as possible with your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

My care is heavily adaptable to the needs of your animal. I am familiar with many different pets and several breeds of dogs, cats, small animals, and even horses! I am aware that every pet is different and has their own personality and needs. I am looking forward to best serving you and your pets during my watch.

Information Michaela A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know of any behavioral issues, health problems, allergies, or dietary needs/ restrictions before staying with your pet. Are they dog or cat reactive? Do they have special commands they must do on walks? Are they resource aggressive? Preferably, the owner will leave me with a detailed care sheet complete with emergency contact info before my stay. The more information I have, the better prepared I will be to care for your beloved pet.

A typical day

Have a regular schedule with your pup? Let me know, I can walk your dog wherever your animal feels comfortable walking/playing. I want to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. If they have a favorite park I would be happy to take them there and have a fun day out. If your animal has special needs I am able to administer medication and take a specialized approach to your pets care. I have extensive experience with senior pets and want to make sure they are as comfortable as possible in my care.

I am excited to meet you and your furry family members!

SUPER🤩 This was our first time using Michaela, and she was absolutely wonderful! She watched our 5 year old lab at our home for a week and did a fabulous job with her. Cali is a very active and energetic lab. She followed her schedule and met Cali’s needs. Michaela made sure that her needs were met by getting her outside a few times during the day to play fetch with her frisbee and tennis ball, along with taking her on her walks. And not only that, Cali has a bit of anxiety at times and Michaela made sure she was loved and got the attention she needed while we were away. Michaela did check-ins and sent pictures daily( morning and evening). Michaela is very professional, caring and super friendly plus, she actually had more questions for us about Cali then we did for her, which was super impressive. She took notes about Cali starting with what her daily routine is like, her eating schedule, activities she likes, her behaviors etc. You name it, she asked it. My husband and I just knew after meeting with her, that she would be perfect taking care of Cali because you could just tell that she genuinely cares about your pet and their needs. We also felt super comfortable allowing her care for Cali and be in our home. We were so happy to find a kind, friendly, professional and trustworthy person to take care of Cali. Also, I am a bit of a clean freak and I can tell you, that my house was left the same way I left it….looked like she was never there, spotless! We were also having bad storms while we were away, so I texted Michaela about a few outside things on our deck that needed to be taken care of and she made sure it was all taken care of as well. A breaker tripped while she stayed with Cali, so she texted us the issue and we were able to call her and help get it resolved. Like I said before very professional, caring and kind. Her communication and dedication of care not only for our dog but our home was truly amazing. We will definitely be using Michaela’s services again and highly recommend.

Michaela was great about sending us updates daily about our pups. She also was very responsible with giving medication and regular walks. The dogs seemed to be very happy with her, which made our time away from them much less worrisome. Michaela is a gem!

Michaela was a fantastic sitter for our fur babies. She kept my wife and I up-to-date on all things happening at the house during our wedding weekend . She took phenomenal pictures and gave us detailed highlights of our boys that put our mind at ease during a time where we needed the least amount of stress. She left the house clean and tidy, wouldn't of known she was even here. Michaela thank you for everything!
