Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard for pups, although it is fenced I never leave pups unattended! In my house I have 2 cats that are very use to dogs and a 3 year old son. So dogs for boarding need to be cat and child friendly. I am able to follow any care plan you have and meet needs such as dietary instructions and medications that may be needed.

Welcome!

Pet care experience

Freshly graduated with a Bachelor's degree in biology with an emphasis in zoology! As of now I am working full time at Midwest Laboratories, but can't help but miss the animal interaction. Previously I worked as a Vet Assistant and also have prior pet sitting and dog walking experience. I have had very minor experience in training/ working with goats through my time in college. My passion is working with animals no matter what species! I also have experience with reptiles through my time as a reptile keeper intern at Rolling Hills Zoo in Salina, Kansas! I have two cats and two dogs of my own. Simba is an 8 month GSD who is currently in training to be a service dog and Apollo is a 2 year old GSD mix. I would love to get to know more about you and your fur baby!:)

Michaela was very communicative and took lots of pictures for us while we were away. The cats really like her and it's such a relief to know they're well taken care of.

Buzz had a great time (he told me!) hanging out with Michela and her son. She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent lots of photos—he looked so comfortable and happy in every one. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave him. Thank you so much, Michela!

Michela was very communicative and responsive. She gave great updates and photos during the sitting so we could see how we'll our pets adjusted to her (they clearly loved her). I would definitely recommend Michela.
