Ready and happy to help!

I have previously worked at the Humane Society, a non-kill shelter, helping to train and take care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. As a student, I have incredibly flexible hours throughout the weekday and weekend. I love hiking and exploring and would love to be able to take some pups on runs/adventures with me, however, I also love cats and am an avid reader, a perfect way to pass an afternoon petting a snuggly kitten. I’ve been a go-to dog and cat sitter for friends, family, professors, and fellow students for years and relish the opportunity to make a new community in Burlington.

Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable with all potential sleeping arrangements for dogs whether that be crate-training, snuggling in the bed, or having their own dog bed downstairs. I tend to stay up late and get up early, a perfect match for younger dogs who need to go out more frequently. I’m not allergic to cats and welcome a multi-animal household.

Michaela was wonderful taking care of our dog and cat in our home. She sent us lots of pictures and went to the pet store when our cat was running low on food. She left the house clean and tidy for our return. Would definitely use her again!

We had a great experience with Michaela who house sat with our kitty Chickadee. Michaela stayed in touch frequently and sent us lots of updates and photos. It was very reassuring to see that things were going so well. Michaela is clearly an animal lover -- our kitty warmed up to her right away. She is warm and friendly, responsible and communicative, and we felt very comfortable having her in our home. We had such peace of mind knowing Chickadee was in her care while we were away. We will definitely call upon Michaela again. I recommend her highly.

Schedule

Currently in a study period and looking for furry friends to keep me company. I am typically able to get places early in the morning, around lunch, and after 3 pm which would be perfect for walks, small breaks, and feeding schedules! I have more flexibility on the weekends.

0 to 15 lbs

I don't have any breed preferences but I would like to know the age of the dog and any special dietary restrictions/medications the dog may need.
