Dependable and experienced!

Pet care experience

I am a first year MD-PhD Student at Harvard-MIT who would love to meet the pets in my new Boston/Brookline community! I am generally available after noon during the week and have a lot of availability on weekends. I live right next to a park and will be able to give your pups plenty of exercise and play time if they stay at my home. I also love spending ample time with cats and making sure they get the playtime and socialization they need while you are away! I moved to Boston from Boulder, CO, where I majored in chemical and biological engineering and biochemistry and was a student-athlete. I was a full time pet sitter there as well and had multiple regular clients. I love all types of dogs and cats and will make sure yours feels loved and cared-for while you're away! I have experience raising dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish and can check up on any other small critters you might have for no extra cost! I will ensure that your house and ddogs/cats are safe while you are away. I can walk dogs every three hours on weekends and can provide constant company weekday afternoons and on the weekends. If you are away for an extended amount of time, I would love to do chores and maintenance around the house such as gardening, watering plants, picking up the mail, and cleaning. If your dogs are active, I can take them on hikes, runs, and to the park to play. And of course I will cuddle with them when they're ready to take a nap. I can provide overnight watch on any night of the week. Your dogs and cats will never feel lonely under my watch! I have experience with small and large dogs, puppies, senior dogs, and special-needs dogs and feel confident that I can keep your dog healthy and safe while you are away. I have no breed preferences (or prejudices) and have worked with dogs of a wide range of demeanor. I feel comfortable with my abilities to read how animals are feeling and respond proactively to keep them happy! I would love to know everything about your dog or cat's normal schedule so I can keep them comfortable while you are away. I customize every care plan to fit the needs of every dog. I can brush them regularly and give baths. I will also be sure to send you daily photos of your pets so you don't miss them too much! I can't wait to meet your furry friend! As an MD-PhD Student, I am totally available on the weekends and am available after noon during the week. I will never need to be away from your pets for more than 3.5 hours if they are staying at my home! I live right across from an amazing park and can provide a lot of exercise to your pups! I live on the first floor, so senior pups should not have an issue with stairs. Pets are welcome on my furniture and will be kept on their regular schedule.

Michaela was wonderful! We heard from her every day we were away. Mookie was in great shape when we returned. We would have Michaela care for Mookie again in a heartbeat.

Excellent care for Charlie over a long Christmas break. Constant updates, Charlie had a great time. Will definitely book with Michaela again.

Michaela was extremely communicative, friendly, responsive, and responsible during our pup’s recent stay with her. Our dog came home happy!

We always feel confident when our pup stays with Michaela that she will take great care of him and give him the attention he needs!

Information Michaela W. would like to know about your pet

I would love to learn as much as possible about your dog so I can provide the best possible care for him or her. Let me know if your dog has a favorite place to walk, a favorite toy, a favorite place to be scratched, or has a lot of energy! If your dog has a special grooming schedule or feeding schedule, please let me know. I will plan my schedule around theirs to keep them happy and healthy. I would also like to know if they are comfortable with dogs, cats, or other humans so I can keep everyone safe and happy at all times.

A typical day

I will take your dogs on walks around my or your neighborhood or to the park and can take them on hikes and runs if they are active. When it's naptime, we'll cuddle up together. I love going to parks to give dogs some fresh air and time to play in the grass! We will play together as much as possible, and you will return home to a very tired and happy pup!
