Pet care experience

Welcome!

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!:)

House Sitting • Jul 27, 2026

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!

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.

Such a great sitter. Thank you so much! And thank you for sending pictures everyday. My pup loved her stay and felt like she was at home.

I can’t say enough great things about Michela. She has a natural connection with animals. Our German Shepherd dog can be weird around strangers and I was worried about leaving her with someone she didn’t know. Our dog took kindly to her straight away and on the first night Michela updated us that she didn’t even bark when she came in. It was such a relief to know our dog was in good hands. The daily updates put our hearts at ease. I am hoping Michela will be available everytime we are out of town. Lux was happy and relaxed when we got home. She even got her to eat her food which she will not do if we’re not home. 10/10 recommend Michela to anyone!!

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house
Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 cat
Children 0-5 years old
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 4-8 hours

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.
