Highlights
Pet care experience
I'll keep your dog active!
I grew up with two Cocker Spaniels as well as a great deal of other pets so I have a decent amount of experience caring for animals. My parents are huge animal lovers and they certainly passed that on to me. As I've gotten older, my admiration and appreciation for them has only grown, especially for dogs. The companionship and unconditional love they provide us is almost unmatched. We are lucky to be able to call them not only our pets, but our friends as well. I understand the importance of finding someone who you can trust and rely on to care for your special companion. I have pretty much open availability and my schedule is pretty flexible.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
At this time, I am not accepting boarding in my home, but I am happy to care for them in their familiar environment of yours. Whether that’s overnight stays or drop ins for walks or just to play in the backyard, just tell me what your needs are and we can figure out a plan that works well for you.
Ratings and reviews
Michaela lived in our house for two weeks and took great care of our terrier mix, Picasso. She sent us photos and gave us updates, including the fact that he had been upgraded at night from his kennel to her bed - which was fine with us. (We now refer to her as "Picasso's girlfriend" though I'm not sure if she knows that yet, LOL.) Anyway, when we came home, he jumped alternately between us and her, whining happily, which I took as a very good sign that he was bonded to all three of us! We felt very comfortable having her in our home with our most prized asset. We will absolutely book her again for future travels.
Michaela was great! And Sonny was happy to spend the weekend with her. She sent me updates and pictures took him for a walk and was super responsive! Would definitely leave my dog with her again!
She was great! Kept me updated and was easy to communicate with. Abby didn’t want to leave; she was barely excited to see me after my 10 day absence haha.
Michaela took care of Gracie for me for two days. Gracie is an anxious ten year old border collie mix and it could not have been a better experience for Gracie or me. Michaela is so kind and accommodating. She even sent me an update the second day. I will definitely be a repeat client.
Nice professional gal. I know she was great with my dog because when we were stopped at a red light a lady that kind of looks like her walked by and he got all excited. Will book again.
She was amazing with Hercules! I had international flights that were canceled So she had to have him 2 extra unplanned days and was very accommodating. I recommend her to all!!!
