Michaela has been invaluable to me and my little family. Both of my dogs adore her and are so happy to see her when she comes. She’s flexible, understanding, and extremely caring. Michaela is such a wonder dog sitter and has been saving me from much stress with me working everyday and my husband being gone so often. She is fantastic

Michaela was great with our gentle giants. They typically are timid and bark at new people for a while after entering the home, but when she came in, they took so quickly to her and my most fearful and timid dog did not bark at her nonstop. He actually went up to her quicker than any other dog sitter previously. Michaela sent updates throughout the visit and kept me up to date. The dogs really seemed to like her which was such a blessing. Having 3 large dogs can be intimidating, but Michaela was at ease and did a wonderful job. I definitely would recommend her and will use her again in the future.

Michaela is awesome!! She is very in tune with my dog’s behavior. She is kind and takes lots of cute pictures of my pups. And great at leaving detailed report cards.
