Quality DC Pet Care

I have over 7 years of experience in pet care experience. I have cared for family pets for many more years. I have many references on and off Rover to vouch for my expertise and experience. I am comfortable pets of all ages. I some experience with giving oral medication. I am responsive and have flexible availability. I can't wait to care for your pet! I am available to provide daytime and evening care. I am currently based in Edgewood/Eckington area. I am open to working anywhere in dc as long as it’s accessible to public transit. I am comfortable taking walks in any weather and terrain. I am respectful of all rules and spaces in the home. I always leave the home as clean as I found it. I ask that you inform me of any cameras in and outside of the home. I strive to provide excellent care and will provide refunds if you feel I did not meet your standards. I always request to have a meet and greet before working together.

Michaela took such great care of my 2 cats while I was away. She was detailed and made sure everything went well with them, including giving them lots of attention and pets. Would definitely ask Michaela again to take care of them!

This was my first time booking Michaela. She was easy to coordinate with, flexible, and understanding of our needs. She provided helpful feedback after each walk—just the right amount. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again!

Michaela did a great job! My kitties were well taken care of. I’ll use Rover again and ask for her.

Michela went above and beyond to help us fix an issue with our new thermostat to make sure our cat was comfortable. Thanks, Michela!

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule. I am available to provide daytime, evening and overnight care. I am comfortable taking walks in any weather and terrain. I can’t provide constant care so I am not a good fit for a pet who can’t be left alone.
