Pet care experience

Fenced yard

I have owned and been around dogs for 48 years! I have always had at least one in my family! I have currently 2 dogs that are very spoiled, and I also frequently watch my daughter’s 2 dogs - one of which is slightly handicap, so I am flexible and open to watching dogs of all needs! We have a fencend in yard which gives flexibility for the dogs to run and play! I allow dogs on the couch and bed, and would treat them just as I do my own dogs! I previously fostered dogs and absolutely loved it! I am not picky with breeds, as long as they’re friendly and nice dogs! Hopefully I can be a good fit for all of your dogsitting needs!Also experienced in senior dog care! Also had a 12 year old beagle that had Diabetes back in 2006! She needed insulin shots twice a day !

Michaela was absolutely wonderful with our dogs. She kept us updated sent us pictures and gave them lots of love while they were with her. I would recommend her 100% to anybody looking for a dog sitter.!

We are very satisfied with taking our dog here. Michaela is always flexible and accommodating to our schedule. Nelly is happy and obviously well cared for. We get just the right amount of pictures to see her staking out her spot and making friends.

Michaela took such amazing care of my dog! My dog has stayed with her multiple times and gets super excited to see Michaela. I can tell that my dog feels safe and happy in her home! Michaela is flexible, reliable, and very responsive. I would highly recommend Michaela and will continue to board my dog with her.

Michaela was so kind and caring to our Ali! We needed a place at the last minute for one night while we dropped off our daughter at Bucknell, and Michaela graciously accepted. Ali had a blast in their fenced in backyard and with the other furfriends. We will definitely call on her again!
