Pet care experience

Great afternoon walk availability!

I have a lot of experience taking care of my family’s dogs (Bernese Mountain Dogs) and dogsitting for friends and neighbors. I have a lot of energy, so I am willing to walk, run, and play with your dog. I am also willing to take your dog to a dog park to get out some more energy. I also offer house sitting. I am a middle school teacher, so during the week I am only available for drop-ins and walks after 3:40. If I am dogsitting for you during the week, there will be times that I am gone for 8-9 hours at work. But on most weekends, I wouldn’t be gone for more than 3-4 hours at a time, and would spend the rest of the time home with your pet making them feel safe and loved!

Michaela did a great job of taking care of our dog Monty. She was great at communicating how things were going and sent lots of photos. We will definitely use her again.

Michaela did an amazing job with the pets as well as the home. My pets barely cared that I returned 😂😂 I will definitely be asking Michaela back with us again.

Michaela was attentive to the dogs and sent pictures and updates. She also had my extremely skittish dog coming to her voluntarily to be petted, which almost ever happens in a week. The house was picked up and clean. Definitely highly recommend Michaela and hope to have her watch our dogs again!

Michaela did a great job with Bruce! She left my place just how I left it and I would definitely recommend her to friends and family who are looking for a great sitter.
