Pet care experience
-kennel technician at boarding facility and vet clinic in high school (bathed, administered medicine, followed special dietary requirements for feeding, walked all sizes of dogs) -Bachelor's degree from the University of Missouri in Animal Science -volunteered for a program called, "walk a hound, loose a pound," where I assisted the volunteers in handling dogs in the shelter who were difficult to walk. -I'm the friend everyone comes to for free-dog advice 1.) Flexible hours! 2.) I'm very physically fit and can handle any size/strength of dog. I am willing to "go the extra mile" if that means your dog is ready to take a nap when we are finished on our adventure. 3.) I can assist with basic commands and leash-walking etiquette. 4.) I will not use a retractable leash. I'm looking forward to working with you and meeting your sweet pup!
Reviews
You would be hard pressed to find a better care taker for your pet than Michaela! She has an innate sense of understanding when it comes to pets. She has patience beyond what would be considered average. She has an animal science degree and has a good understanding of the biology of animals. I would highly recommend her, she is amazing with our dog, Murphy. She also took care of our beloved dog, Emmy before she passed away, 3 years ago. I wish she still lived in the same town as us, but Fort Worth, you are the lucky ones now!
About Michaela R.
Skills
Information Michaela R. would like to know about your pet
-feeding routines -special commands -bedtime routines (Does your dog need their baby before they can fall asleep?) -how do they walk on a leash? (retractable--again I will not use a retractable leash) can they heel? -what behaviors are allowed? can they get on the furniture? I have a special place in my heart for big dogs.
A typical day
We will explore neighborhoods, parks or trails near your house! If you feel comfortable, I am willing to drive to a park to go on longer trials that provide new sights and smells for Fido!
