Safety, trust & environment

I am willing to follow any schedules/routines you have with your pets to make sure that they are comfortable while you’re gone! :) I am currently not sitting pets at my own home.

Information Michaela L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know the dogs temperament towards other people/kids/animals, if they have any spots they don’t like to be touched, and if they have food aggression. I’m willing to go out of my way to make sure the dog is comfortable and happy!

A typical day

I will take your dog to a dog park (depending on the pet owners opinion), on plenty of walks/short runs, to get ice cream, and I’d love to even lounge and hang out at the owners home and play with the dogs toys.

Pet care experience

I have experience in walking all sized dogs, including dogs that aren’t leash trained. I have lived with and cared for cats and dogs since I was a kid. I feel that I have good judgement in knowing what pets need based on their behavior. I am willing to do whatever is safest for your pet. I know each pet is different and requires different attention. I am flexible and willing to attend to all needs.

Michaela is the best! We’ve had her care for our cats multiple times and they love her. She also takes the best pictures of them during her visits!
