I have 2 dogs of my own and we live with my girlfriend’s dog. I am also the president of the Canine Sports Club at my school! When students here need help with their dogs (we are a pet friendly school), I am usually the first person they ask. I also volunteer for a program called Retrieving Freedom which allows me to help train and raise psychiatric service dogs. This is a program that meets once a week. My own dog (Tara, 4) is being trained on the scent of a low blood glucose to work towards being my service dog (diabetic alert). So we train on scent multiple times a week. My dogs get supplements, meds, potty breaks, play dates, training outings, and grooming sessions multiple times a week.

Safety, trust & environment
My pets at home are all kennel trained, potty trained, and general house trained. I have a puppy who has higher energy and needs more supervision, so he gets naptimes up in his kennel more often than my 4 year old girl. The puppy is on hip and joint supplements which he gets with his breakfast. All my dogs eat out of slow feeders and wait to eat until they are released. This helps with impulse control.

Information Michaela O. would like to know about your pet
Let me know ahead of time if your dog has any allergies, habits, or discomforts that I might not know about. I also absolutely ADORE “bully” breeds so dont ve afraid to send em my way!!
A typical day
A few activities I do with my kids are scentwork, agility, and basic obedience! I love working with dogs to get their brains engaged as well as their muscles. I love playing tug, fetch, and disc with dogs too! Literally anything your dog enjoys, I’m down.

Pet care experience
I’ve worked with dogs in many various professional environments: specifically KC Dawgs training facility, dogtopia and camp bow wow daycare and boarding facilities, and even the petsmart grooming salon. I have loved every single job I’ve had with animals and am in good standing with all of them after having to move to Columbia for college. I also have a good amount of experience with working dogs as I volunteer and shadow the MO TF1 search and rescue canines at least once a month! I have a ton of experience with animals who might have physical disabilities or need extra care. The white aussie in my profile picture was partially blind and completely deaf. I got to work with him for a 1-2 week board and train! I’ve taken care of countless breeds with various different exercise needs and food varieties. I also have a ton of experience with grooming and nail trims. I offer these for free for anyone who books a service longer than a day! Just let me know in private messages if you are interested ^_^
Reviews
Michaela was super responsive and accommodating. She took great care of pilgrim and sent many pics of their time together. Would definitely use her again!
If we could leave 10 stars we would! Michaela was amazing and so professional! We trusted her in our house and she kept us up to date every single day. She even left our pup with a gift! It’s obvious she loved animals and we can’t wait to use her again!!
