Flexible & Reliable W/ References!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Michaela and I'm a 23 year old college student that's currently in film school. I am available almost any time to pet sit, dog walk, house sit, and provide pet care with a very flexible schedule. Animals are my passion and spending time with them is my favorite thing to do! I worked at a dog boarding facility where I studied to get my Pet Tech certification, and there I worked with every breed imaginable. I live on a small farm and have had animals my entire life. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats, chickens, rats, mice, hamsters, & fish. I am an avid hiker and runner and can bring you dog along with me if that's something you're interested in. I'm usually available on all holidays as well! Check out my photo gallery to see my happy clients - I have experience with exotics as well! I'm willing to travel outside my 'server radius' for my services. School is still all online and Rover is my only job which allows me to focus on that. I have a lot of homework so I would spend my time hanging out with your animals studying! I do turn off cameras in living spaces unless specified to leave them on. They are turned back on when I’m out of the house for errands, etc. I care for pets in whatever way clients need me to. I’m accommodating and can spend as much time with them as needed. I understand each animal is individually different and I make sure to adapt to fit their needs.

But I do in-home sitting at clients' houses!

Thanks so much! We are always nervous after a previous bad experience with someone else, but everything was amazing! Highly recommend Michaela to watch your fur babies!

Michaela was a fantastic house/dog sitter. Very reliable and communicative; it was clear she really cared about and connected with our pup and took great care of our home. 100% would have her back!

Excellent service. Michaela was punctual, very sweet with my boys, and understanding of their little quirks. Highly recommend!

Information Michaela R. would like to know about your pet

I don't breed discriminate, but I do know each breed has it's own individual characteristics that should be paid attention to. Breed aside, each dog has it's own individual characteristics, quirks, and preferences.

A typical day

I am an avid hiker and can take your dog(s) with me. I also run daily and can take your dog with me for that as well for those with a little extra energy!
