Pet care experience

Your pets new BFF

We treat all dogs likes our own and they will be fully integrated into our family during their stay ❤️ Grew up with dogs, and fell in love with cats when I was adopted by my best friend Jimmy in 2007. Jimmy is no longer with me as he crossed the rainbow bridge in 2023 but I live with 2 (little) senior dogs, 4 cats and a toddler (and of course a husband). I am good with senior kitties/dogs and familiar with the medicine needed for high thyroid in cats

Our cavapoo does not like to be away from us but we recently took a 12 day trip and left her with Michaela. She was well cared for and entertained and barely missed us! Thanks to Michaela for allowing us to have a stress-free vacation! We will definitely trust her with Dolly again!

Another top quality pet sitting service from Michaela. She’s always on time, sends me photos of the pets, and keeps everything cleaned up. Two of my three cats need medication and she hunts them down wherever they’re hiding if they don’t come out at breakfast. Everyone is happy and healthy when I get back. Highly recommend Michaela for your dogs, cats, birds and other small creatures.

Michaela and her family agreed to take care of our pup last minute before a holiday weekend. They were so incredibly accommodating and helped to make us feel comfortable leaving our pup with them. Other than our pup sneaking some snacks and their own dogs food (sneaky pup!) everything went off without a hitch and Michaela ensured we had constant updates on how our dog was doing. Thank you so much Michaela, we appreciate you and your fam and would book again!!

Michaela did a perfect job for my zoo. As a retired veterinary technician and a former pet sitter myself, I am not an easy pet person to satisfy. My group are not the easiest as two of my three cats need medications. I have birds, a tortoise, and also a large dog. She kept me updated with notes and photos at each visit. She was on time, and checked with me in advance about a visit she needed to start just a little early. When I came home everything was done and in order. She brought in a couple packages, too. Water was available, all pets were where they belonged, and safe. I hope Michaela will always be available when I need her in the future. Hire her with confidence.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a big fenced backyard and will treat your furry friend just like my own and will follow whatever directions are given to me. Our backyard offers a lot of shade for the hot Vegas months, and we have a bunch of umbrellas and plenty of water bowls. We even don’t mind if your dog wants to sleep in our bed, but follow whatever direction is given to us, as we know some prefer a crate over a bed. We have 2 water fountains and a bunch of stainless steal bowls. We have extra doggy beds, and also doggy stairs for little or older dogs.

Pets

A typical day

Playing, cuddling, snacking (if allowed) and walking (if the weather allows it), or being in the backyard. If your furry friend is a senior then they can sleep for as long as they want, and will just be taken out for some potty breaks

Any special needs, or medications needed? Please let me know beforehand so we have time to discuss what is expected and needed from me. I have senior dogs myself so am well aware of some of the difficulties that come with having older pets.
