Pet care experience

Will care for yours as my own!

I’ve trained three very skittish rescue doggies and purebred pups. I dog sit for friends and family often. I am extremely energetic/Athletic and if your doggie wants to go for a run, I am up for that for sure! Or if they just need some calming snuggle time, I’m your girl! I enjoy getting to know pet’s unique personalities and needs. I grew up around animals my whole life — dogs, house cats, barn cats, and even neighboring farm animals and wildlife. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Recently losing my longtime companions, Niko, a tiny chihuahua/corgie mid x rescue with a huge personality, and Copper, a golden with a goofball heart of gold, reminded me how deeply our pets become family. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet at home while working, traveling, or managing a busy schedule, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, patience, or extra attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting new furry friends and helping give pet owners peace of mind. I called my doggies m kiddos and will care for yours as such!

Michaela has a huge heart for animals and is someone I would trust without hesitation to care for my pets. She is reliable, loving, and pays close attention to each pet’s needs. Animals naturally seem to gravitate toward her, and she treats them like family. I highly recommend Michaela to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet caregiver.

Michaela grew up with 6 labs usually there were 2 at a time in the house. Now as an adult, she rescued a dog, Niko, that had been traumatized before entering the shelter. She turned him into a really lovable little dog. She then lived in a house with a big back yard and had 2 dogs, one of which was pretty unruly and the other who was had been a rescue, was skittish. She would take both dogs out on daily walks. She worked tirelessly with each one and they both became really sweet boys. When my husband and I travel we feel most comfortable when leaving our chocolate lab, Bustah, with her. I know he will be loved, walked, played fetch, and treated like part of her family. She's good using commands and works really well helping to achieve an obedient lovable dog. Even if a dog is a bad walker for their owners, she amazes me at her ability to have their fury friend walk seamlessly with Michaela. And one of the things I love most about leaving my guy with Michaela is, that I walk him myself daily for abut 4-6 miles, she will do the same and not just a quick around the bend and back. And she really really loves dogs!!! She is in a new apartment and really misses having a fury friend close by. I think it would be a win-win for whoever she helps out with their bowzers and getting them out and about!
