Pet care experience

Pet care has been my whole life

I was raised with animals my entire life and have years of 4-H experience with dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, hamsters, and more! I feel animals deserve just as much care and love as any human does and I can provide that for you and your beloved pets. I have a pitty mix named Teagan, a standard poodle named Fen, and a senior kitty named Phoebe. From Pitties to Poodles I do it all! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I am excited to meet you and your furry family members!

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.

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!

Our go-to at Rover. A pure professional and wonderful friend of our goofball husky.

We barely missed out on booking Michaela in 2024 when someone managed to reserve her just before we did. When the other sitter we had used 2x advised she would no longer be booking with Rover, we immediately searched for and reached out to Michaela for our Oct 2025 trip. During our first meeting with Michaela we were immediately impressed by her preparation questions. She clearly knew the right things to ask about our Mikhail and the house. We found Michaela to be very friendly and professional. While some folks may be just good sitters on Rover, finding one who treats this as though it were a true personal business is big. We all came away agreeing that we felt very confident in booking her. During our vacation, Michaela provided frequent detailed updates complete with photos. By the time we came home, there was no evidence that anyone had even stayed there. Michaela's reviews speak for themselves, so I'm just one voice here, but rest assured that you are considering a complete professional who will love and care for your pet and home as if they were her own. We feel great knowing that we can count on booking her again!

Michaela did a great job communicating with us daily and sending pics. Rosie was well taken care of for the week we were away. We also came home to a very clean house. I highly recommend Michaela.

I always feel good when Michaela is watching Maggie. She always sends me reports and pictures. Maggie likes her too. She also leaves my house in good condition. I recommend her highly.

Schedule

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!

Michaela can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
