Pet care experience

Animal and nature lover!

I love animals of all kinds and look forward to getting to know your unique pet! My first animal friends were cats, but my circle quickly grew to include snakes, then dogs, and more recently other invertebrates like spiders and scorpions! While I don't have personal experience caring for birds, I am an avid bird watcher and would love to learn how to take care of an indoor feathered friend. I have experience with young pets, old pets, and pets with chronic illness.

Michaela takes great care of our cat! She diligently follows directions and takes time to play with her. She is very communicative and sends lots of pictures. We will definitely use her in the future.

Michaela is a very kind, thoughtful, and caring sitter. Our doodle seemed very comfortable with her which was very reassuring. She kept us updated through out, and followed her routine. We highly recommend her.

Michaela is my go-to cat sitter! I used to be very anxious leaving my cat,Auto, for an extended amount of time, but now, I can actually relax on vacation when Michaela is taking care of him. Michaela makes sure to send daily updates and photos whenever I am away which I really appreciate! Michaela is easy to communicate with, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals a ton. If you are looking for a reliable sitter who will love your pet like they are their own, look no further!

M was my downstairs neighbor for almost 2 years and whenever my regular walker was unavailable they jumped right in and walked my pup Abigail for me! They have such a deep love for creatures of all kinds and are so gentle with them. M quickly became one of Abigail’s favorite people in the whole world. They have a cat with special medical needs that they take such incredible care of and they will treat your pet with the same level of attention and patience. I can’t recommend them enough to anyone considering entrusting them with their best friend!

If you have multiple animals, I'd love to understand any notable dynamics between them so I can be attentive. Also, please feel free to share house rules ahead of a visit (i.e., cats can use the basement but the puppy can't, no paws on the couch).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
