During the school year, I teach part-time for a nonprofit. In the summer I primarily do rover for income, so I have more availability during these months!

I live in a neighborhood with a dog park and sidewalks that are great for walks! Happy to walk 30+ mins or more depending on what your pup is used to!

Information Michaela M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has special needs I can account for. I do have experience giving cats and dogs medication and am comfortable doing so!

A typical day

I am open to neighborhood walks or taking them to a park if that is preferred! I love to go on long walks myself, especially near the water or at parks!

Cat and dog lover

Pet care experience

I got my first cat when I was 5 and as I grew up we adopted more cats, and rescued a dog. My last few roommates have had dogs (a husky, lab mix, and mutt) that I’ve helped take care of as well. I worked for a local veterinary company for two years so am familiar with some general practices and urgent cares in the area as well.

Michaela was wonderful with Remi! She communicated so well and sent regular pictures. We'll definitely hire her again when we go out of town.

Michaela did a great job sitting Buc and Bolt. She accepted the request last minute and exceeded expectations. She even did an extra drop in due to our travel delays. Really appreciated her help!!

Had a wonderful experience with Michaela house sitting for our two dogs for 10 days. We got pictures everyday and any necessary updates were given as needed. Came home to our house just as we left it too!

We had a fantastic experience with Michaela! She was incredibly responsive, sent daily updates and photos, and clearly cared for our pup like her own. We felt at ease knowing our dog was in such great hands. On top of that, she left the house super clean, which was such a thoughtful touch to come home to. We will absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring sitter!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
