Information Michaela R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I will need to account for or any medical things to know just in case they take medication so I make sure they are up to date with any existing health concerns.

A typical day

I love to get your dogs tail wagging ! So playing with their toys or even just playing with movement to get their attention so they’re not bored I think is nice to do. I make sure they get to feel the sunlight and fresh air and feel like their on a 2nd vacation while in my care.

Proactive & responsible dog lover !

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and have spent years caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. While working remotely, I’ve had the opportunity to foster several dogs, including puppies, and I’ve also helped care for two senior Chihuahuas (both over 12 years old) for the past few years. They have completely different temperaments, which has taught me the importance of getting to know each dog as an individual and understanding what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. One of my favorite things to do with dogs is spend time outdoors. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a park visit, or a hiking adventure, I love giving dogs the opportunity to explore, sniff, exercise, and enjoy the world around them. I always tailor activities to each dog’s age, fitness level, personality, and your preferences as their owner. When it comes to animal care, I take it very seriously. I have experience administering medications in syringe, powder, and pill form and understand the importance of following feeding schedules, routines, and care instructions carefully. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I strive to provide the kind of attention, communication, and reliability that I would want for my own dog. I’d be happy to connect and learn more about your pup!

I had a great experience with her and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. She was able to watch my dog last minute, which was a huge help, and she kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay. She made sure he got plenty of walks, attention, and exercise, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about him. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future‼️‼️‼️‼️

Michaela was an absolutely fantastic sitter for Kona ,truly an angel and such a blessing. She was able to accommodate us at the last minute, which already meant so much, but she also adjusted so graciously when our flight got delayed. I honestly cannot express how much I appreciate everything she did for us and for Kona.She took such great care of Kona, taking her on walks and even hiking adventures, which made me so happy knowing Kona was not only safe, but genuinely having a great time. People like Michaela are what make Rover such a wonderful app. At first, it can feel a little intimidating trusting someone you don’t know with your pet, but Michaela completely exceeded every expectation. She is kind, reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I would 100% recommend her to anyone, and I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Michaela!
