Visiting Yellowstone?
Hello welcome I love dogs! Based in West Yellowstone and willing to travel. **PLEASE READ** There are very few dog sitters and VERY HIGH demand. Thank you in advance for your communication, flexibility, and understanding. When you reach out if you could include: 1) where you are staying while visiting Yellowstone 2) if your pup is okay to socialize with other dogs I may have booked 3) does your pup travel well in the car? I’ll take your sweet angel on an adventure while you adventure in Yellowstone. I have experience owning, fostering, rescuing, and training dogs! Beyond dog sitting for a variety of clients in a variety of locations, I have also spent time working in dog rescues and with programs that train service animals. I am also a local guide in the National Park and general area if you have questions for your trip to Yellowstone :) (or Grand Tetons!) ((or Glacier!!)) ______________________ Boarding services WINTER ONLY (Nov - April) I will be able to host post overnight/provide boarding services. Please contact me to book! _______________________

Ratings and reviews
Michaela was absolutely wonderful with our sweet but anxious little Cavapoochon floof, Lily. She accepted our request on short notice, responded quickly to our messages, and was consistently friendly, patient, and thorough in all of her communications. She even met with us beforehand the same day we arrived so that she could get acquainted with Lily and carefully discuss her needs with us. While we were away, Michaela sent lots of pictures and updates, which we absolutely loved! She also picked Lily up and dropped her off at our location at the exact times we had agreed upon. The entire process could not have been easier or more convenient for us, or a better experience for Lily who was able to play with other dogs, explore beautiful fields, enjoy long walks, cuddle with Michaela, and nap in rays of sunshine! We were initially a bit nervous about leaving Lily for a full day while we explored Yellowstone because she has significant separation anxiety and was never able to settle or relax with the last pet sitter we had tried. We really appreciated that Michaela asked thoughtful questions to make sure she thoroughly understood Lily’s needs and our situation, and helped us to make a plan to ensure that Lily would be okay. Lily did wonderfully and came back to us tired, happy, and healthy. We could not have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend Michaela to absolutely anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and dependable pet sitter!

Michaela was lovely and I’m sure my dog had a great day. She sent me pictures of him on a walk and sleeping, he looked really cozy and comfortable.

I have never left my dogs with someone I didn't know before and this was an amazing experience. From the friendly conversation, recommendations for things to do, and overall understanding when schedules changed she was wonderful. My dogs are exhausted and may have had their best day ever. ❤️
If we could rate Michaela 10 stars we would. Our 2 children (who happened to be in doodle suits) could not have had more fun or received better care.


Michaela was great. She was able to setup a time to meet and daya to take care of our girls. It was super short notice....less than a week before we got there. Couldn't have been happier


We couldn’t have asked for a better Rover sitter! We were visiting Yellowstone National Park for five days and wanted our dog to have an adventure of her own while we explored. She went above and beyond to make that happen. Every day, our dog enjoyed walks, trips to the lake, and playtime with other dogs. It truly felt like she had her own vacation while we were having ours! We loved getting updates and knowing she was having such a great time in a safe, caring environment. She was also incredibly flexible with pickup and drop-off times, working around our changing Yellowstone schedule without hesitation. That extra effort made our trip so much less stressful and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. It’s obvious she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. We came back to a happy, tired pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter!

Schedule
I’m a traveling dog sitter! I make any request work as best I can. I love getting to incorporate dogs in my daily life as much as I can so I’m quite open and flexible. I work in the tourism/travel industry which leaves me some freedom to pick and choose dates.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will almost always be caring for animals in the clients home or accommodation. My landlords do not allow me to host pets unattended or overnight. Pets are welcome to come and go with me to my place throughout the day. I am happy to coordinate pick ups and drop offs that are easiest for you. WINTER ONLY (Nov - April) I will be able to host post overnight/provide boarding services. Please contact me to book!
A typical day
Whatever pets are typically comfortable with of course. I love taking dogs to dog friendly outdoor spaces on or off leash. Does your pet like to go for a swim or walk by the water? Perhaps they would be interested in a pet safe art project to make for their owner. Maybe pets wanna go for a ride in the car and visit a new place! We’re all about the adventures here.
