Animals are family members!

Pet care experience

I have worked as a veterinary assistant for over 4 years, as well as spending time working for the Virginia Beach SPCA. My perfect environment is one that involves animals. I will always care for your animals as if they were mine! All animals deserve all the love that we can provide. I would rather be surrounded with a pack of animals than one person! I will do anything and everything for your pets!

Communication was prompt and thorough! She sent several pictures of our pups throughout the booking, and even cleaned up around the house a little bit! We're delighted with our sitter and highly recommend.

Michala was awesome! Our animals loved her and had a great time. She provided pictures and took very good care of our animals and the house while we were away.

Truly Fantastic Care from Michala - Cannot Recommend her Enough!!!! I have been using Rover for the last 5 years, different addresses and different sitters, and can honestly say that Michala provides TOP TIER service. Exactly what you want from a pet caretaker. She came over already of time for a meet and greet, asked great questions, and listened to my tips. She sent pictures and messages every day and left my home even cleaner than she found it (even left a sweet note!!). I feel slightly conflicted even leaving this review because I want her to stay available for next time. Thank you Michala ❤️❤️

Safety, trust & environment

I reside in a home that has a large fenced in backyard, so there is plenty of space for your animals to run around and play outside! I also have an animal room where the litter boxes and dog kennels are kept. This is the room where the kennel would be set up if one is needed!

Information Michala J. would like to know about your pet

I personally have extensive knowledge and experience taking care of dogs and cats that have all types of needs. Administering medications, oral or injectables, are no problem for me. I have also worked a lot with senior animals that may need some extra help doing simple things.

A typical day

I love taking dogs to the dog park if possible. They get to play with other friends and get loads of energy out! Having a fenced in backyard, I will also play ball and other games outside on nice days! Once they are all worn out, cuddling on the couch with my animals is my favorite!

I am currently going to college mostly online. I have plenty of time to spend with the furry babies! I stay home with my own animals while my partner works, so this is a great option to help others take care of their animals while at work or on vacation!
