Pet care experience
My experience with animals stems back to my time growing up on a farm. There I cared for many animals of all variety. Dogs have been a part of my family my whole life, and I can not imagine my life without them. The dog that has touch my heart the most is my most recent rescue, Squirt. Squirt came into my life very young, scared, and in need of some love. Abandoned by his previous family and had some severe mental anguish, Squirt was fearful of people, unable to control his bladder, and escaped the yard regularly. I curved all of these anxieties by showing him love instead of being frustrated with him. I made him feel safe in our home, socialized him with other dogs, and got him on a walking routine. Squirt started eating more, controlling his bladder, and wanted to be part of our pack. Experience: With dogs that show sign of stress and anxiety Dogs with disabilities Dogs of all sizes Giving medication Grooming including, brushing, bathing, trimming nails, and teeth cleaning Cleaning up after dogs Caring for senior dogs Caring for pregnant dogs Caring for puppies I am certified with the Redcross for Dog and Cat CPR I learn the basics of providing first aid care for your cat or dog, enabling me to give the proper care for common emergency situations.

Reviews
Michaelina was amazing with our fur kiddos from our pup all the way up to our senior. From the cutie pictures at check in and check out. She really help ease this anxious parent. Our pup Molly took to her right away and she was great with her super excitedness and high engery. And she was just as accommodating to the needs of our super lazy boy who just wants lots of love. We really appreciate her thoroughness and note taking on the different needs and personalities of our pups. As well as her punctuality for our appointment times. We look forward to enlisting her services again.
Michaelina did an amazing job with our two big dogs. She even noticed a tick on our Doberman (we had just got back from camping) and was able to inform us about it. We will definitely be using Michaelina’a services again!
Michaelina was wonderful! Pictures of my cats were sent every day which helped me feel at ease while I was away, and communication was seamless. Definitely will contact Michaelina again when I need a cat sitter!
Michaelina provides great care for our dog, and is very kind and polite!

At your house, your animals will have all of my attention during our drop-in visits. I love to play soft music for the animals, open the windows and let the dogs be outside. I will take the dogs on walks on request and clean up after them in the yard. I always give fresh food and water on my visits. I am used to serving regular dry, wet, mixtures, raw foods, and administering medications, excluding injectables. I’ll even bathe them if you want!
