Safety, trust & environment

Being a dog-owner myself, maintaining routines and going the extra mile for play and exercise is important to me. I am currently self-training my rescue for psychiatric service, so I am very comfortable working with dogs from a variety of backgrounds with different levels of confidence and social comfort. I have also cared for cats and am comfortable with their often varying levels of social needs, as well as their basic care. I will never use negative reinforcement with your animal, ensuring a gentle, fun, and trustworthy experience for your pet. Additional services and home care (plant care, delivery reception, maintenance/vendor monitoring, etc.) are available, as well.

Information Michaela R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any special needs, medications, or necessary accommodations in advance, so I can properly prepare to provide the best care for your pet.

A typical day

I enjoy hikes, excursions, beach days, and runs with the dogs I watch, but I am also very happy to have a chill day with lots of cuddles! I will only take dogs to dog parks with your permission. I am flexible and happy to adapt to your preferences.

Pets

Lifelong Pet & Home Care Experience

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs my entire life, and I have extensive experience in dog-walking and sitting, cat care, and home care, ever since I was a teenager. I love animals and am even a wildlife photographer. I have personal experience service training dogs for psychiatric service, as well. I am able to ensure not only premium, safe, and reliable love and care for your animals, but also your plants and the general welfare of your home while you’re away. If your animal has special needs or training curriculums, I am able to meet them, so your time away doesn’t become time off from necessary routines or specialized care. Additional services and excursions (hikes, dog parks, beach days, etc.) are available upon request. Mahalo for thinking of me for the care of your pet!

Michaela did such a great job with my 2 year old golden retriever! She pays such good attention to routines and requests and we could tell that Maverick had a great time with her. 10/10 recommend!
