Experienced Animal Lover

Hello my names is Michaela and I’m an Animal Science major at Iowa State that loves animals and has lots of love to give your furry friends! I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, all shapes and sizes. I worked a a animal shelter for a while and nothing scares me! I miss my animals at home and it would be amazing to have a companion for the night! I will always treat you and your animals with the lost respect because I know they are a giant part of everyone’s daily life and family. Thank you for trusting me with them and I hope I can offer you a good experience and potentially have your pets in my care again! Thank you so much!

We left our very active 80 lb black lab with Michaela for a weekend. Michaela took great care of our dog and gave updates about him while we were gone. She made sure that he got plenty of exercise and got to play with other dogs! Over all it was great experience !

Doggy Day Care • Aug 15, 2021

Michaela was a great host . Mali and her dog got along so well . There was a whole basket of “new”toys to play with . Michaela was easy to communicate with . When we picked up Mali , she was happy and just a little played out but that was because she had so much fun! Thankyou
