Compassionate and reliable

I was born and raised with golden retrievers, they are my heart and soul. Since I grew up with such loving dogs, I’ve grown a huge desire to care for others’ cats and dogs. I am the go to for family friends and neighbors. I normally rely on word of mouth or networking with people I meet.

She took good care of my dogs and cleaned up after herself at my house. We used her as an overnight house sitter/dog sitter for four nights for our three dogs. She was even able to make up with our standoffish Min-pin. We would definitely use her again!

Michaela was AMAZING!! We had to go out of town for a funeral and our aussie injured himself right before we were supposed to leave. We moved our flight and took him to the vet. The vet said he would be okay, but would need rest, extra love, and to stay calm. We did not want to leave him, but Michaela took such wonderful care of him and our other doggo. :) She administered his medicine, helped him take it easy on the stairs, and took them out one at a time to prevent them from playing while he was healing. She also kept me updated throughout our trip.l! Thank you so much, Michaela!! :)

Michaela got back to me quickly to house sit and keep an eye on our pups. Sadly, our elderly lab passed before she was set to watch them. She was very sweet and patient with me as I was very stressed leaving our younger Aussie doodle behind, she’s never been without our lab and def not without both our lab and us. She kept us updated and was flexible with her time. She even came and spent extra time when we were going to be late knowing I was nervous about her adjusting to being alone. We came home to a happy dog and clean house. We are very grateful and would love to have Michaela help us with Lilly again in the future now that they’re buddies!

Michaela did a great job taking care of our girls in our home. The girls were happy and our home clean and neat when we returned. Would recommend her to take care of your pets.

I’d prefer to know their temperament and if there’s any specific requirements for taking care of the pet. I want to make sure everything goes smoothly.
