Pet care experience

Ready to Take Care of Your Furbaby!

In addition to owning dogs and cats since childhood, I worked as a kennel tech and veterinary assistant for 2 years and loved every minute of it, the good, the bad, and the messy! While I have since taken to a different career path, I still have so much love to give your pets no matter what size, breed, or unique characteristics! I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs, administering medications (including insulin), and accommodating any special needs your pet may have. Also, on the feline side of things, I can take care of your "barn" or "working" cats as well!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not care for other pets in my own home, but I am glad to provide any services your pet may need in their own home/environment! Having an environment that your pet is familiar with can only be beneficial when establishing trust with a new human!

Michaela was fantastic! She sent plenty of pictures and great check in messages making it where I didn’t worry about our pups at all. Our dogs were in great hands and would not hesitate to use Michaela again!

Michaela is our go-to person for all things animal care. She has an innate ability to meet animals where they are and know how to best greet and care for them in a way that calms and makes them feel safe. She also is a great resource for tips and tricks on how to make our care of our cats and dogs go more smoothly. For example, our 17 year old cat needed to start getting subcutaneous fluids at home for his kidney health. From her vet assistant experience, she showed us how to use a cat bag to make him feel safe and relaxed while we administered the fluids. I have watched Michaela take care of her own cat, Eileen, who she adopted from the shelter; and have been impressed with the attention she pays to giving her adequate play time and stimulation, the proper amount and quality of food for her development, trimming her nails, and knowing what to do when she notices behavioral changes. Michaela is a great pet sitter and animal friend.

If you consider your pet to be dog-aggressive or food-aggressive, I'd love to know beforehand so that I can take care of them in the best possible way. If they need their food prepared a certain way, have medications, have a favorite toy, or don't like to be scratched/pet in a certain place, please let me know!
