**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 26 and studied Berklee College of Music Online, currently studying Medicine in Slovakia; so I am home during summer and winter holidays.. 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 is so sweet and very responsive and detailed. She has done a great job taking care of my puppy and following my instructions on how I would like her care.

Michaela took excellent care of my puppy and my home. She sent me detailed reports of her visits and sent me multiple photos and video which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend her for your puppy sitting needs!

Michaela was a great drop-in sitter for our little dog. She followed instructions exactly as we hoped, sent photos and a video of her time with Nellie, provided a report card of daily activities with our pet. We would definitely recommend Michaela as a sitter for 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!
