Safety, trust & environment

I tailor my care to each pet’s specific routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule, including feeding times, walks, play, and any medication instructions to minimize stress and keep things consistent. I’m attentive to behavior changes and always communicate updates clearly with photos and notes so you feel confident while you’re away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervision and structured walks or playtime. I ensure pets are never left unattended for long periods and follow any household rules or training preferences you have in place. Above all, safety, routine, and clear communication are my top priorities. I treat every pet with the same attentiveness and care I would expect for my own.

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been part of my life. I grew up around them and have years of hands-on experience dog sitting and walking. I know how essential routine, consistency, and careful observation are to keeping pets healthy and comfortable. Your dog will be well cared for.

Michala was so great and super communicative! She gave lots updates with pictures throughout the day. I can tell she truly loves dogs and treated Buffy as her own! Will absolutely book again :)

Michala was so amazing while she had our dog for 4 full days. She made him feel comfortable, followed his normal routine, sent lots of photos and videos/updates and made us feel at ease while being on the other side of the country. Using someone new to watch our dog is always a gamble but I'm SO glad we found michala! I will be using her again and would highly recommend for any other dog owners.

Michala is amazing! My fiance and I couldn’t be happier with the care our 8-month old puppy has received. Michala is reliable, attentive, loving, and truly cares for our pup! One of the things we appreciate most is the consistent communication throughout the day with photo updates. It gives us peace of mind knowing our pup is happy and safe with Michala! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and wonderful dog sitter!

Michala was an incredible pet sitter. She was attentive, reliable, and genuinely cared about making sure my fur baby felt comfortable and happy while I was away. She kept me updated regularly, which gave me so much peace of mind, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.
