Dogs are better than people

Pet care experience

I have been surrounded by dogs ever since a very young age, and I got my first dog, Harry, when I was 11 years old. Unfortunately, Harry had many health issues, such as diabetes and an enzyme deficiency, however, from that experience I learned how to take care of dogs with health problems and other little quirks. Additionally, I have cared for dogs of all varieties, ranging from small pugs to big pit bull/Rottweiler mixes. I am used to going on long walks and wearing out the higher energy, bigger dogs, and I am also used to conducting the appropriate exercise for smaller or lower energy dogs. My love of animals extends to dogs of all sizes and personalities. It is my goal when dog sitting to bring the dogs as much enjoyment out of the experience as I get. Dogs are the best friends out there! I live right by the M Street beach and am only a short walk away from Castle Island, as well as a dog park, so there a lot of nice options for walking routes nearby. I am also willing to travel further distances - whatever you and your pet would prefer. :)

I have two Adult, female Rottweiler mixes whom I rescued while living in a small ski town hidden high up in the Colorado Rockies. Both of my fur-babies are about 100lbs and super high-energy and I use a dog-sitter when I am at work or running errands or otherwise out and just don't want to leave them unsupervised. Michaela has been watching my dogs for a few years now and from day one, I've been nothing but grateful and happy. She understand how to control and communicate with my dogs and she's not easy overwhelmed, all of which is extremely important to me since my fur-babies are XL and absolutely crazy. I just feel so lucky to have found a dog-sitter who genuinely loves my little delinquents as much as me. I would highly suggest Michaela to any type of dog-owner and for every single fur-baby.

Information Michaela W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know whether the dog is good around other dogs, so I can know in advance of whether to avoid social situations with other dogs, or if such situations are okay when I'm walking your dog.

A typical day

Although I do not have a yard, I am right next to the Boston Common, which is great for walking dogs. Additionally, the Esplanade and the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway are only a short walk away, so your dog will be sure to get enough exercise during his/her stay with me.
