Quality In-Home Pet Care

Pet care experience

First and foremost, I love dogs. I've taken care of cats, fish, reptiles, goats, chickens, and horses, but my favorite are dogs. I've had dogs since I was 10, and have pet sit (sat? sit?) for a very long time. Some of my favorite breeds just based on past experiences, are labs, golden retrievers, pitties, Staffordshire terriers, and shepherds of all kinds! I'd love to be able to walk some really high energy dogs, and I'm really comfortable with overnights and long terms. I'm good with dog of all ages, from itty bitty puppies to seniors. I'm very patient but high energy, and I don't mind working with shy or more reserved dogs that take longer to get used to you, that's totally fine for me!

Michaela is our go to Rover! She is timely with updates, trustworthy, and our puppy loves her. We will continue to book with Michaela as long as she’s available! Thanks for all you do Michaela!

We're so lucky that we found Michaela to house sit for our two pups over the holidays! One of our pups has a history of aggression so we were nervous about finding the right person who could handle him. Michaela was confident, patient, and kind-hearted from the very first meet & greet and she did a fantastic job taking care of both of our pups. Highly recommended!

Information Michaela L. would like to know about your pet

I guess things like temperament, any health issues, that kind of thing. I actually kind of prefer larger breeds, and I'm pretty strong, which helps when walking the big guys!

A typical day

Lots of walks! I love the exercise. I also love tug-of-war and giving cuddles and scratches! It really depends on the dogs temperament and needs.
