**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 outstanding. Our puppy is only a few months old and we had her only for a short time before we needed her boarded. Michaela was excellent and had patience with her throughout the stay. She also sent many pictures and videos on how she was doing. Definitely a 5 star experience.

Michaela was amazing! Parker was walked regularly and played with her two dogs and she shared numerous photos of his stay! He was very happy to see me when I picked him up and she had all his stuff together.

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.

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!
