Information Michaela S. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know a couple things about your fluffy best friend before I care for them! Are they allergic to anything? Do they get along with other animals? Do they take medication? Thank you! And I look forward to making your fluffy family happy!

A typical day

Near my apartment there is a fenced in dog park where they can socialize and run around! (At no extra cost, as long as they have your pawmission!) I can take more energetic breeds on longer walks. (No extra cost) If requested, I will take your pet to a professional groomer for only $35! Dogs who board overnight with me will go home with a new chew toy that they will help pick out with me at PetSmart! (No extra cost!

**UPDATE ON SUMMER SCHEDULE** I will be back from Med School on June 26 through the end of August for any bookings! Hello! My name is Michaela. I am 25 and studied Berklee College of Music Online, currently studying for Med School Entrance Exams in Europe.. I have grown up with many animals, and have a variety of experience. I have had many dogs and cats, rabbits, fish, chickens, turtles, hamsters, and have worked with my neighbors parrots, peacocks, geese, even goats! (My neighbors and I all lived on farms.) I adopted a service dog who currently lives with me in my apartment. I also joined a dog walking/sitting service called Wag! where I took care of many dogs in the city. I am very flexible with what I can do for your pet, as I live in my apartment full time! I am willing to take it to the dog park, go on extra long walks for those more energetic breeds, even take it to a professional groomer for you! I hope you will give me the opportunity to love your furry best friend as much as you do! Thank you so much! **FLEXIBLE ON PRICE** In addition, where I previously lived, I worked at PetSmart where I was Pet Care trained and certified!

Michaela was great! She was very accommodating, and even managed to get Jasper in on short notice. I was worried about leaving my service dog with someone new, but Michaela did a wonderful job caring for him. She kept me updated with lots of photos and a video. Jasper seemed very relaxed and comfortable in all of them. I would definitely trust her with Jasper again.

Michaela was great with our dog! She took good care of him while he was anxious due to storms and gave him his medications when needed. Her reports were detailed and made it clear that he was well taken care of!
