Pet care experience

Got critters? I’ve got care.

My first word was kitty. Not kidding! Since my very first word, animals of all kinds have always been a huge part of my life. I have either owned or cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, fish, birds, frogs, horses, goats, and…well, the list goes on. Not matter what four legged (or more or less legged!) friend you need care for, I’m your girl. I have experience caring for all ages (bottle-fed to seniors) all sizes, and many, many different needs. I am experienced in providing wound care and other medical needs, and I am comfortable with animals of all temperaments. My years of experience has taught one thing: ALL animals are unique, and each needs to be cared for individually. I look forward to learning the unique needs of your pet and caring for them accordingly!

Safety, trust & environment

Call it a cruel twist of fate, but my landlord doesn’t allow pets. So, I have TONS of love to share with yours! While I won’t be bringing any of your furry friends home with me, I am always willing to come to them and provide care in the space they are most familiar with and comfortable in. You pet has a routine, and it’s my goal to help make sure that routine is carried out whether you’re at work or out of the country. I prioritize your instructions while caring for your pet and their environment, and make sure to keep open communication with you so you can feel at ease while away.

Michaela was such a great sitter for Pei and Miso this week! From the initial meet and greet through the updates while I was away to quickly gaining the trust of my pets, I couldn’t have been happier with Michaela’s care of my fur kiddos. Will definitely book with her again!

Michaela always does a great job. Quick response to messages and she sends lots of pics. I never worry about my dog or cat when she is with them. Very thankful for her!

Michaela did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 dogs in our home while we were on vacation for 10 days in Europe! Communication was great, and our pups were relaxed and happy upon our return. We would definitely book her services again, and we are so happy to have found a great sitter!

We couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter. Leaving your dogs behind is never easy, but she made us feel completely at peace from the moment we left. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared for our dogs like they were her own. She followed all of our (very detailed!) instructions, kept us updated, and made sure everyone was safe, happy, and loved. Coming home to calm, well-cared-for pups is the best feeling. We’re so grateful and will absolutely be booking with her again!

Schedule

My work is freelance and gig based, so I often have large stretches of time open. It is much easier for me to schedule for short notice things than to schedule far in advance. Don’t worry about needing last minute pet care! That works great for me!

No amount of information is too little! Most importantly, I want to keep your dog safe. It’s very important for me to know if your dog has any issues with reactivity, is stressed by any specific situations, or happens to be a bit of a Houdini. Please let me know about any and all medical or behavioral needs your dog may have.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
