Pet care experience
Tail-Wagging, Purr-Fect Care!
Hi there, fellow pet parent! 🐾 My name is Michaella, and I’ve had the privilege of being surrounded by animals my entire life. From dogs and cats to more unique rescues, caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is no small decision, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I’ve personally raised and rescued both dogs and cats, including nursing sick animals back to health, helping mothers deliver their babies, and lovingly guiding senior pets through their final stages. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs a good long walk or a shy senior who just wants some quiet companionship, I always take the time to learn your pet’s needs and meet them with patience, compassion, and care. Currently, I’m the proud pet parent of two very spoiled (and deeply loved) cats, but I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments — from rowdy retrievers to mellow mutts and everything in between. I have experience with leash training, administering medications, basic grooming, and handling nervous or reactive pets with a gentle touch. When your pet is with me, you can expect reliable communication, attention to detail, and lots of love. I’m happy to stick to your routine, follow detailed care instructions, and send updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, or drop-in visit, I aim to make the experience smooth, stress-free, and full of tail wags or purrs. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I truly value the trust you place in me. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and giving them the same love, care, and respect I give my own. Warmest wishes, Michaella 🐱🐶

Safety, trust & environment
My two girls are spoiled rotten. Animals take priority in my life, and I show it. Lots of love, lots of play, and lots of patience and understanding have proven to be most important in my time with animals.
Ratings and reviews
Michaela was super easy to work with
Michaella has been amazing!! So grateful to have had her help with Harper.
Michaella was amazing! She was so patient and flexible when one of my dogs was nervous with an unfamiliar person, but Michaella quickly won her over. Very communicative and so easy to chat with, will definitely be booking her again!
Michaella was very good! Super thoughtful and loves animals. It was a good experience using her.
She was able to walk my dog completely last minute and did an excellent job. I highly recommend!
She is so great with our puppy!
