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

Graduated in 2020 with a Bachelor's degree in biology with an emphasis in zoology! As of now I am working full time at Eurofins, 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. I would love to get to know more about you and your fur baby!:)

Micheal is absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our house for a night watching our two dogs whom have very different personalities and she handle them like an absolute pro! Can’t wait to book with her again.

We had a wonderful experience with Michela! She stayed at our house for two nights and took care of our 10 year old pup. Michela communicated with us throughout the stay. This was our first visit, and it was clear early on in the visit that our dog was in caring and trustworthy hands. Michela is kind, reliable, understanding, and she treated our pup with so much care and attention. We would absolutely recommend Michela to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate Rover sitter, and we look forward to booking with her again!

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!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
