Ridge Farms Pet Services

My name is Michaela, I have had pets all my life. I have experience in a professional setting caring for dogs, including training, boarding, daycare and grooming. I dog sit for close friends and family in home and would like to expand to other people’s pets. I live in a very rural area and have the opportunity to allow the puppies outside time on leash to be able to run and sniff and explore. My husband is a police K9 handler, caring for and helping him train his dog is part of my daily routine. I believe my knowledge and experience set me apart from other sitters and hope that you give me the time and opportunity to show you how your pet will thrive staying in my home.

Michaela was absolutely amazing to work with!! She was so kind and patient, even when our plans changed a billion times 😂 She was so flexible with drop off and pick-up times and helped me get the appointment set up correctly. She was amazing with our puppy too! Gave her lots of cuddles and sent frequent updates about how her day was going. She even tried to hand feed our dog when she was still a bit too nervous to eat and gave her a bath when she had a little accident. We don't travel much but we will definitely reach out again when we do!! Thank you so so much again!! 🩵🩵

Michaela did a great job looking after my pup! Remi came back happy, clean, and healthy. During his entire stay, Michaela sent pictures and videos of Remi playing with her dogs. I could tell Remi was having a great time! I will absolutely be using Michaela's services again. If you have a high energy dog and are nervous about leaving them with someone who might not be able to handle it, look no more. Michaela and her pups are more than capable!

Schedule

I currently am home full time so I am able to spend the day caring for and playing with your dog. I make sure they go on multiple walks a day and they have frequent potty breaks. They will get a lot of play time inside and outside.

Safety, trust & environment

My two pet dogs love to play and run around so they will welcome any dog into the home, I also have a very spacious basement to allow dogs who don’t get along with other dogs to run and play indoors. The puppies will also be walked outside on leash to sniff and explore.

A typical day

The dogs in my care will have a very fulfilling time, fun activities include going on nature walks, exploring, fun with the water hose, if they like water they can play in the creek, I use lick mats as treats which help stimulate the dogs brain.
