Fenced in yard and loving care
Pet care experience
I took care of animals for my neighbors during extended travel starting around 10 years old. I grew up cats, but now have a dog family member in adulthood. Admittedly, he was the first dog I had to care for on my own full time. I have worked on training with him, but really I can offer a place for your dog to stay, a separate room if needed, and a fenced in yard. My dog is super playful and will try to interact so only dogs that do well with other dogs should stay here. My dog is a neutered male and typically does well with either male or female dogs. He has been around unspayed females, however, he does not like being… mounted. With all that in mind, let me know if you think we may be a fit for you!
Reviews
Michaela is such a wonderful dog sitter! My high energy cattle dog mix has similar energy to her dog, and loves to go play. I always get lots of pictures and videos during my dog’s stay, so I have zero worries about how she’s doing when she’s at Michaela’s house. I already have my next boarding booked!
My active herding mix Evie LOVED her stay with Michaela and Riggins! When my family member picked Evie up, she didn’t want to leave. I got lots of pictures and a cute video of the dogs playing. We’ll be back!
Michaela was fantastic, received regular pictures and my pup is still exhausted from being there!
We had Michaela come for a drop-in visit the day of my sister’s wedding. She was great—we received several photos and a detailed update during her visit. Our dog was happy to be let out and played with while we were gone for the day!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a few spare leashes and generally take my dog on walks daily. I will let dogs into the fenced yard regularly. My dog tends to go out every 30 min to chase squirrels. If the dogs do well together, I will be open to that level of access to the yard. If they don’t, I will keep a baby gate up in the house so I can monitor when they are in the same space and take turns in the yard. My dog does not resource guard at all so they can have access to his toys if you wish. We have too many and we could use a few getting destroyed by a dog who actually uses them.

Availability
I work from home and have part time school from home. I generally should be able to be home most of the night and day most of the time. If I need to leave for anything, I would keep the dogs separated in different bedrooms to make sure nothing happens while I’m out. I also have plenty of space for your dogs crate if they are crate trained.
