Pet care experience

Loves dogs and walks!

I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting since I was 19. I absolutely love dogs, taking them on walks (or runs if needed!), and just giving them all my love. I’m working from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m able to help out anywhere from once to probably two times a day if you want! I live in a two bedroom townhome with my 8 year old heeler. My dog is very sweet and likes to hang and walk with most dogs but can be shy when meeting a new friend or territorial (just loudly barks) over her bed and crate. She is less excited about hyper furry friends but am happy to always do a meet and greet before booking. Also happy to stay at your place so long as I can bring my dog too :)

Michaela took great care of my dog while I was at work! She was professional, timely, and so caring! I’ll definitely be using her again in the future!

Piper had a great stay with Michaela and we have already booked her next stay! She sent tons of updates and took Piper on lots of walks and even hiking at Umstead. I was super impressed and look forward to using Michaela in the future.

House Sitting • Sep 07, 2022

Michaela helped me by last minute pet sitting my dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. She was kinda enough to come for a meet and greet beforehand. She made sure they were spoiled and taken care of based on the directions I provided, while also sharing photos and updates during her time with them. I would definitely recommend!

My beagle, Aly, had a wonderful time with Michaela and her sweet doggie, Winnie. I received at least a couple of pics every day and a little note on how my girl was doing. I will be using Michaela again in the near future.

Michaela has always been great with dogs! I've seen it first hand with both mine and her own. She's very caring and the dogs love her! Reliable and great with pets!
