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.

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.

Information Michaela B. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I particularly like to hike! I’d love to explore new trails, potentially go for runs/jogs, head the dog park, or just take a walk around the lake.

Pet care experience

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.

Great with our two dogs! Spent lots of time with them in addition to their walks.

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!

Michaela was wonderful with my senior pup. She was attentive to his needs and flexible when my travel plans changed. I would highly recommend her!
