Highlights
Pet care experience
Nursing Student Who Loves Dogs 🩺🐾
I've loved pets for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by animals in my neighborhood and at home, so I have plenty of experience caring for them. I used to dog-sit in NY before moving down to SC, so taking care of animals is like second nature to me. I'm so excited to meet some new furry friends! 🐾
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I stick closely to each pet’s routine, whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medications. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always keep things tidy, clean up after playtime, and make sure everything is in order before I leave. As for safety, I will always walk your dog(s) on their leash to make sure they're safe from other dogs, animals, and people. Also, just for my own comfort and safety, I’d appreciate knowing if you have any roommates or if anyone else has access to the apartment or house, just so I’m not caught off guard if someone else comes in.
Ratings and reviews
Michaela stepped in when I had a scheduling situation which would have necessitated my dogs being alone and unwalked for over nine hours. At their age that Is much too long. Even though it was just one walk for her she came over to meet them and me ahead of time and we worked out details she needed to know. When I came home the day of the situation the dogs were calm and had obviously had a good walk as well as their evening meal. I will be contacting Michaela again in the future!!
I had the absolute pleasure of having Michaela care for my two very high-energy puppies during weekends throughout her senior year of high school. After finishing her own busy days, she would come over and give my dogs the love, attention, and exercise they needed, always with a smile on her face. She is truly one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and her natural connection with animals is clear from the moment you see her interact with them. My dogs absolutely adored her and would get so excited every time she walked through the door. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and loving hands. Not only was she wonderful with the dogs, but she was always kind and respectful toward my whole family. She was friendly with my husband and kids and quickly felt like a trusted part of our routine. I can’t recommend Kayla enough, anyone would be lucky to have her care for their pets!
Michaela pet-sat my dog Mario in New York before she moved to South Carolina, and out of everyone I’ve hired over the years, she was hands-down the most reliable and kindest sitter I've worked with. She was always on time, incredibly thoughtful, and went above and beyond every single time, whether it was sticking to Mario’s care routine or just spending extra time with him when he needed it. Mario absolutely adored her, and I had total peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. I can't recommend Michaela enough!
Michaela D. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Michaela was an amazing caretaker for my dogs!! She listened to all the instructions I had for her, was very good with the dogs, and was never late to walk the dogs or feedings! I would 100% recommend her over and over again!
Michaela used to pet sit my dog in New York every Monday through Friday after she was finished with school. She was always on time, dependable, and truly loved spending time with my pup. She made sure he was walked, fed, played with, and cuddled until my husband and I got home from work. My dog adored her, and we always felt at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. She's the kind of sitter every pet parent hopes to find! 💗

Schedule
I'm an online college student, so I’m home year-round and have a flexible schedule. I do work, but my schedule is set so I can work around it. I work every weekend from 10am-8pm Saturday and Sunday.
