Loving & Dependable Care

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of my family's many dogs for years. I love to spend time outdoors with dogs of all kinds, and I am great at tiring dogs out. Fetch time is always an option! But I am also happy to care for slower or older dogs as well, and I am extremely responsible monitoring what each dog needs in a given moment. I have spent many an hour at dog parks, and I have a knack for keeping an eye out for dog safety. I have also taken care of cats throughout my life, and love making sure your kitties are well-tended to. There's nothing I love more than relaxing with a pup or kitty on the couch, and I am always happy to send updates and photos to my valued clients.

As always Michaela is fantastic, this is our 4th time booking her and she’s always reliable and goes above and beyond to help our cats feel safe and our home stay clean while we’re away. She communicates well and is accommodating for key pick up and drop off.

We are so grateful for Michaela and her level of care for our pupper Estrella/Esti while we were traveling! This was our first time using Rover, in the past we had been having our dog stay at local boarding facilities with mixed results. She is more sensitive, prefers to be at home, and appreciates individualized care. Michaela was professional throughout the process, and very responsive to our check-ins while we were traveling, and sent several photos of Esti looking comfortable and happy in her routine, which helped put us at ease. Finally, she gets an extra gold star for calmly dealing with our dog's unfortunate GI issues. We will definitely be booking with her again when we plan our next trip!
