Pet care experience

My calendar is updated daily!

I’ve been working with dogs and cats since July 2020 with minor experience in a grooming salon. I’ve always loved animals and decided to start my own dog walking business in February 2022 and have loved every aspect of it. If you’re interested in boarding, please message me before booking. I enjoy getting to know pets and their families and always make time to go over all your needs thoroughly to ensure you can trust to leave your animal with me comfortably. Your dogs needs are always my top priority and will never hesitate to protect your baby in an unsavory situation. I can administer a range of medicine, including insulin and administer fluids, adhere to any dietary and exercise needs, and love going on long walks at the park.

Michaela was wonderful with my three-legged pup, Finn. She took extra care getting to know him and was very communicative with us while we were away. Very, very happy and will definitely use her services again!

Michaela took good care of my doggie, and she let me know when the walk started and ended, with photos. Highly recommend!

Michaela is awesome! We had no worries while we were out of the country! She spoiled our dog rotten even crocheted him a sweater! They were constantly at the park. Buddy’s favorite place. Our dog takes lots of medication and Michaela handled it with ease. We received text messages and pictures with updates. She even washed the sheets and remade the bed before we returned! Michaela went the extra mile in all that she did while we were away! Our neighbors commented that they really liked her too! Our dog and home was well cared for and she is extremely reliable! We are very grateful we found her and have scheduled her to come back for dog walking. I highly recommend her!

Our dog loves the time he spends with Michaela. She happily accommodates our requests to extend each visit to allow time for play and a feeding on top of a walk. She sends photos and updates which puts us at ease. Michaela is flexible and responds quickly - both of which we appreciate so much when planning care for our dog! Would absolutely recommend!

Schedule

Dog walking and sitting is my full time occupation. I am usually walking dogs from 9am-3pm on a daily basis. I have a few families that depend on me daily and some for emergencies or last minute bookings throughout the week. I book most of my stays in advance and recommend that if I cannot leave your dog unattended for at least 4 hours to look elsewhere (sorry!). My calendar is updated daily, please reach out and say hello!

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to meet with a family before confirming a booking. If the booking is far enough in advance I recommend at least 1 or 2 more visits prior to the families departure just to go over basic info, daily routines, and to let your pet get more familiar with me. I’m always happy to stay over night, am very friendly with neighbors, and am a quiet homebody type. I would never invite guests over while you’re gone and always make sure I leave your home cleaner than you left it. Your trust is most important to me and hope you will consider me when booking your next trip!

Pets

A typical day

I am happy to stick to any routine you have for your baby. I love going on long walks and adventures to parks but I always stay away from dog parks. If you allow it, I’m happy to spoil your dog with pup cups And peanut butter lick mats (I would never give it to them without asking). If your dog is a swimmer then we can absolutely do laps in the pool!

0 to 15 lbs
Takes only 1 client at a time
Michaela can host up to 1 pet per night
I’d like to know of any triggers, allergies, or precautions. If the dog has any medication or dietary needs/restrictions. I’d also like a copy of emergency contact, vet, friendly neighbor or family member. I’d love to know their favorite places to go walk and anywhere to stay away from.
