16 to 40 lbs

Availability

I typically work between 10am–6pm, with some days finishing way earlier. For house sitting or drop-in visits, this means I’m able to spend quality time with pets in the morning before work including feeding, walks, medication routines, and playtime and then return in the evening for another visit, feeding, and attention. Evenings are often longer visits, especially for dogs who enjoy extended walks or cats who prefer calm companionship and cuddle time. On days I’m off work, I’m available for multiple visits throughout the day and can accommodate midday check-ins or longer outings for high-energy dogs, including enriching walks or hikes if appropriate.

About Michaela F.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect and care. I am clean, organized, and conscientious about leaving your home exactly as I found it. Any messes made by pets will be promptly cleaned, and I ensure food, litter areas, and living spaces remain tidy. My priority is that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away and that you return home to a happy animal and a home that looks untouched.

Information Michaela F. would like to know about your pet

I love getting to know all your dog’s little quirks ahead of time! Whether that’s something silly (like a strong opinion about dogs with white tails) or something more important like triggers, routines, or how they do around kids. Let me know what they love too are they a fetch fanatic, a puzzle genius, or a professional napper? The more I know, the better I can match their vibe and make sure they feel safe, understood, and totally at home

A typical day

A typical day really depends on your dog’s energy level! For lower-energy dogs, I’m happy to do relaxed walks around the block, lots of cuddles, and calm playtime. For higher-energy dogs, I love getting outside for longer adventures like hikes or 2–3 hour walks, exploring trails, and keeping them active. I also like to mix in mental stimulation with games, puzzles, and enrichment activities to keep them engaged and happy.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and have always been very involved in their care. Over the years, I’ve helped walk and pet-sit for family and friends, working with dogs of all sizes from 5 lbs to 65 lbs and all energy levels, from slow neighborhood walkers, who want to smell every blade of grass to high-energy pups who pull every step they take. I’ve had experience with both very shy/timid dogs and a reactive dog in my own home, which has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of following an owner’s training style closely. I’m comfortable using tools like special leads, clickers and etc.,I will always respect your routines, rules, and any training you’re working on. I’m a recent graduate who also grew up riding horses and caring for goats and sheep, so being around animals feels completely natural to me. I truly do this because I love spending time with animals especially since I can’t currently have a dog of my own in my space and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family.
