Bird nerd and lifelong dog lover
Pet care experience
If you are in the market for someone to care for your small parrot, I'm your gal! My life practically revolves around caring for and loving on my two green cheeked conures, Bean and Paris. Aside from my own birds, I also have hands-on experience with cockatiels, alexandrine parakeets, finches, and canaries – all of which I have lived with growing up. Since acquiring my two birdies, I have become very passionate and knowledgeable about proper parrot care. I would love nothing more than to bring this passion for birds into your household by caring for your feathered family members. Aside from my interest in birds, I am also a lifelong dog lover! Although I am an only child, you may have thought otherwise had you known me when I was younger. In fact, my kindergarten teacher thought the family dog was my human sibling based on how much I talked about him! I grew up with miniature dachshunds, but have also lived with basset hounds, pit bulls, and shih tzus. I will take care of your dogs as though they are my own, abiding by dietary requirements and administering medicine if needed. In addition to birds and dogs, I have experience with a range of pets including cats, guinea pigs, geckos, and tarantulas. I currently care for a gecko and a tarantula, as well as my two birds.
Reviews
Michaela is great! She is great with the dogs and tuned into their needs. My dogs are reactive on the leash which takes some extra patience and work. She has been great at seeing their positive side.
Lovely person able to get the job done efficiently. Thank you, Michaela!
Michaela took care of my two senior dogs while I was away and did a great job. One of the dogs had a lot of physical needs (incontinence) and needed a lot of care. Michaela made sure that she was outside when she needed to be and helped clean up after accidents. I totally trust Michaela with my dogs!
About Michaela F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment and can only offer in-home services unless the pet is small and remains in an enclosure most of the time.
Information Michaela F. would like to know about your pet
I need to know general information about your dog's temperament as well as what they are comfortable with/not comfortable with. I appreciate a written care guide for easy reference.
A typical day
I have experience training my parrots, and will be more than happy to train your parrot if you would like me to – so long as you let me know what sort of training routine you have been doing with him/her. I will happily spend time with your parrots in your home, whether that be just hanging out or providing head scritches. As for dogs, I am happy to walk them in the neighborhood and play with them. Just let me know the routine you have with your pet and I will be happy to emulate that with my own personal touch.
