Michaela has been absolutely wonderful with my dogs, Max and Lucy. She is consistently on time, reliable, and incredibly kind. It gives me real peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring and capable hands. She goes above and beyond to be helpful, and it truly shows in the way Max and Lucy respond to her. I highly recommend Michaela to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.

I can't say enough good things about Michaela! She is, hands down, the best dog sitter we've ever had. During each visit, she took the time to get to know my puppy's personality and needs. She always goes above and beyond — not only making sure my puppy is well-fed, exercised, and comfortable, but also keeping her entertained with fun activities that she absolutely loves! I received regular updates, complete with photos, so I knew my puppy was in the best hands. I’m so grateful to have found Michaela and will definitely continue to rely on her for future dog-sitting needs. If you're looking for someone who truly understands dogs and goes the extra mile, look no further — she's a gem!

Michaela was amazing and I would absolutely hire her again. She came over to meet Ben in advance on short notice and kept me very well updated with pictures and texts throughout her stay. Ben clearly loved their snuggles and was so relaxed and happy when I got home. Thanks Michaela!

I’ve had the most experience with labs, but I’m open to walking/sitting all dogs. It’s really helpful to know if advance about whether your dog is friendly with other people/dogs. I also prefer to know whether your dog is a jumper or puller on walks so I can be prepared
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.
