Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Michaela! ****Please read fully before booking with me!!(:**** I do not answer messages if the person requesting a sitter does not have a profile picture! (A picture of your animal(s) does not count) I am also sometimes out of the state, so FaceTiming, video chatting, etc. works just fine if you’re ok meeting me that way before me coming to your place. I've been pet sitting, house sitting, training, etc. for over a decade now. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, horses, pigs, cows, chickens, squirrels, sugar gliders, hamsters, etc. (disclosure: I am allergic to cats, so although I still work with them, they are more expensive going through me to cover any medical bills, medicines, etc.) I LOVE all animals and can't wait to meet yours because once I meet them, they're immediately family to me! For House sittings, I typically need to know about a month in advance but it’s always worth a shot sending me a message just in case and I can let you know what my schedule is looking like on my side of things and we can see if we are a good fit to work together! Whether you're away on a trip or even just stuck at work for whatever reason, I'm here for you and your fur baby! I am comfortable in other's homes and around all animals and understand privacy and not over stepping my boundaries as a caregiver for your pet(s). I'm also great with communication and would be happy to send you photos of your pets to show what a good time they're having! If you have any questions, comments, etc, don't be afraid to reach out! Thanks in advance! <3

Michaela stayed over and was great with Tayo. He definitely missed her when she left! Super helpful with the impending snowstorm. House looked great when we came back, great sitter. Highly recommended! Thanks

Michaela was amazing at caring for our animals! She sent us loads of pictures and videos along with updates to let us know how everyone was doing ❤️ We would 100% have her watch them again!

Michaela is awesome at what she does. Went above and beyond for our special requests. We will continue to use her from now on with all our fur babies’ needs.

Michaela did an amazing job with our pup, Marley, staying at our home for a week while we were on vacation! With the crazy summer heat, Michaela made sure Marley had some morning exercise and stayed entertained indoors during the afternoon. She sent regular updates and videos of Marley and let us know when she had to leave the house for short periods. Marley came from a shelter 6 months ago and she’s still getting used to meeting new people, but Michaela was so good at helping her adjust and feel comfortable without us around!

This is my full time job, so I do take cancellations very seriously. I’ve been doing this for 7 years now and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
