Dog caregiver!

Pet care experience

I have been caring for my family and friend's dogs each summer since I was little, both overnight and during the day. Also have cared for cats, providing them with their medication, and other types of animals as well. I walk rescue dogs in my free time and enjoy being outside with the animals. I'm looking to provide overnight dog care, dog walking and other dog care needs while I am working from home for the remainder of the summer!

To be fair, my puppy had not been away from home before and she did pee on Michela’s couch and ate her toothbrush cord. I paid her $60 extra on Venmo, purchased a new cord for her and felt it was fair to let her keep the payment for the 13 hours of time. After 2 hours, she politely said she is ending the service and that I had to give her a place to leave my dog. I was in DC. She ended up with the dog for 4 hours and then dropped the dog off at my apartment, left a ripped up pee pad in the bag of things, probably left the dog in the bathroom alone while she had a zoom meeting on with her leash so my dog panicked and ate through her leash, and was insistent on multiple forms of payment I gave her. I think Michela panicked and, as good-intentioned as she was, was not equipped to calm my dog down.

Michela was wonderful watching our puppy Bessie for the day, she was very communicative and Bessie seemed relaxed and happy when we picked her up. I was happy also to receive lots of picture updates throughout the day.

Michela is very special when it comes to attention and detail especially with my furry little friend. Michela has watched my 2 year old German shep named “shep” while we were away for vacation. Not only did she love him and take great care of him, Shep even cried when we came and picked him up! I would trust her with any animal large or small as I’m sure the dogs will end up just like my pupper Shep, missing her when she leaves!

Safety, trust & environment

I lead a very active lifestyle, so will be able to take your dog out for frequent walks and long exercise. Although I don't have a yard, I work at home full time so will be able to give your dog the exercise he/she needs. I would prefer to have the dog crate trained for in house services at my apartment (especially overnight), but allow dogs on the furniture and throughout my apartment. I love all types of dogs - trained dogs are appreciated and hopefully not loud barkers in my building, please.

Otherwise, I am at home and live a very active lifestyle, enjoying time outside and exercising. I love to hike, run, and go for long walks, which I would be happy to bring your dog along for exercise daily.
