Fun and friendly doggy enthusiasts

Pet care experience

Hi there! I am a nursing student who currently is working from home. I grew up around dogs of various sizes and breeds: from the sweetest English labrador my family had growing up, to the three legged chihuahua mix that we rescued in 2010, to the pit/terrier mix I fostered in college, to my current dog, Junie, a lab mix I rescued from Texas. Junie is super dog friendly and loves to have another dog around when possible! Junie and I have lots of energy and love to go on long walks, to the park, to the farmers market, or hikes. I currently have a small fenced yard that’s perfect for going potty. I live two blocks from the Arboretum, which Junie and I spend a lot of time at! I’d love for your pup to join. I am responsive and trustworthy, and can provide references if needed. Since I already go on lots of adventures with Junie, we are more than ready to take your dog along with us for adventures and exercise. I also have experience working with rescue dogs, as she volunteered for a year at All Breed Rescue Vermont as a dog walker, and has fostered and trained several dogs in both Vermont and Washington. I have our own transportation, and am willing to come to you for any pet needs! I am available during the week and weekends. My schedule as a student taking classes from home leaves lots of flexibility. This means I have lots of time to be with your dog and give them lots of lovin'! I typically only take dogs that are crate-trained and happy being crated when someone is not at home, though they would never be alone for more than a few hours.

Michaela was so great. Her dog and mine sounded like they were a hit together. Took my pup on a nice long walk and she came home happy and beat. Def felt she was safe with her and in good hands. Thank you!

Michaela was such a dependable sitter for my sweet dog, Gracie. She was very open and communicative and sent me photos and messages throughout the day letting me know that everything was going well. I would 10/10 recommend her and I will book with her myself again I’m the future I’m sure :))

Information Michaela H. would like to know about your pet

We have no breed preferences, but do have a soft spot for larger breeds: Golden doodles, labs, pittie mixes, Shepard’s- you name it, we love it!

A typical day

We live very active lifestyles, so if your dog is comfortable, we love going on hikes, exploring parks, and going to dog friendly restaurants, breweries, farmers markets, etc. If your dog is not comfy with those activities- no problem! We also don’t mind staying at home and snuggling up. Currently we are located in Ballard and really enjoy talking dogs for walks in the area.
