Pet care experience

Loving Care While You’re Away

I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of hands-on care for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, fish, and multi-pet households. I’ve completed stays ranging from a few days to over two weeks, and I’m comfortable managing multiple pets at once while keeping each one safe, happy, and on routine. What sets me apart is my experience across all life stages—from energetic puppies who need structure and patience to senior pets who require gentle care, attentiveness, and consistency. Having cared for my own senior dog as well as others, I understand the extra level of compassion and awareness older pets need. I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet like they’re my own.

Michaela was great, we had a meet and greet, and everything went smoothly. She stayed at my apartment, and she was attentive to Zoe, and always made sure she was fed and taking her medicines. She kept in contact with me to let me know how Zoe was doing. Would definitely rebook

Michaela took such great care of my dog, Wally! She was incredibly attentive throughout his stay and made me feel completely at ease. She sent lots of photos and updates, which I really appreciated, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. It was clear that Wally was well cared for and getting plenty of love and attention. I would absolutely book with Michaela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!

Michaela was amazing as our dog sitter. She took great care of our dog and our home and made the whole experience easy for us. She kept us updated with messages and pictures which really gave us peace of mind. She also went above and beyond to help us, which we really appreciated. You can tell she truly cares about what she does. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her.

Michaela has watched our little poodle a handful of times and she is my favorite dog sitter when she’s available. Not only did we have complete trust in her - she took the time to send us photos and updates of how he was doing. I never had to wonder, I knew he was happy and getting lots of cuddles in with her. She also has always left our house just spotless after dog watching, I couldn’t even tell she’d been there. If we hadn’t moved off island- she would be our go to girl 100% of the time!
