Pet care experience

Reliable & Caring Pet Sitter.

I’ve been caring for my Shih Tzu, China, for the past 14 years, giving me firsthand experience with daily pet care, including feeding, walking, grooming, administering basic care, and understanding a dog’s unique needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also pet sat for close friends and family while they were away on vacations and work trips. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable by sticking to their routines and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and I treat each one with the same care and patience I give my own.

My dog, Coco, has always been in the best care with Michaela!! Coco is always so excited when she’s around and Michaela treats her like one of her own!!

Michaela is an amazing dog parent. I have asked her to watch my dog Monster many times while I’ve been out of town. She is wonderful. She is very responsive, kind, and works well with the pups. She always goes out of her way.

Schedule

I currently work remotely Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which gives me flexibility throughout the day depending on my workload. This allows me to provide potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and plenty of attention. I’m also available before and after work, as well as on weekends, and I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions (if needed), and any special care requests. I always keep pets supervised, provide fresh water, ensure they get plenty of exercise and affection, and keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, loving, and safe environment wherever I’m caring for them.
