Never met an animal I did not love!
Pet care experience
My Family bred Shelties & I worked as a Vet assistant in my youth. I also bred Finches! For decades, friends asked me to watch their pets, and were happy how calm their fur babies were, on their return. Wish I was an animal whisperer, but working on it. I do have local references from house/pet sitting for over 30 years and can provide contact info, by request. I still have regular clients off the site.
Reviews
Michelle thank you very much!!! You was amazing today!! We appreciate how much you care about my boys. She is amazing 👏, very sweet and very attentive to my boys!! Highly recommend 👌
Michele arrived on time and instantly was on the floor engaging with our Rosie May. Rosie May follows her around the house with a smiling face. Michele followed our detail food instructions to perfection. We were sent pictures showing them playing. We love that the bond she has with Rosie May.
Michele was amazing! She sent me pics and even a video while I was gone. She played with our two fur kids, gave them their medications, took them outside and threw the ball, etc. Both our dogs are older and they looked happy and healthy when we returned. Will definitely be requesting Michele again in the near future!
Michele, Is amazing! My dogs love her and she was incredible with my special needs dog. She gave us pictures throughout the day and loved on them for us. I think our pups had just as much fun as we did on our trip.

Safety, trust & environment
One house I sit has 5 outdoor cats, 2 dogs and 3 horses, a koi pond and wild bird and deer feeders. Each with is own needs between getting attention, food, medicines, exercise in their own environment. I'll take care of most any animal but never salt water fish tanks. They are too tricky for me.
Information Michele S. would like to know about your pet
Control issues? I’ll know to take them out more frequently if you give me a heads up. Fine with all breeds, raised well. Let me know about your fur babies quirks, phobias and fears. I have learned how to deal with most of them, and forewarning makes a huge difference. If you are a new user and have not been able to fill out much on your dog's bio, please fill me in when sending a booking request. The more I know, the better.
A typical day
Play time will be based on what your animal prefers. Some want to romp, others like to walk and sniff things, yet others want to play keep away or tug of war with ‘stuffies’! Tell me what your dog likes! Cat's have a different play routine and I'll happily string toys along and let them curl up for cuddle and a purr after! Is your dog a runner? Please let me know in advance. Yes, I will walk or ride the horse (no, not run and jump them).

Availability
My current work hours are flexible. Feel free to ask questions based on your needs. I do some freelance work, mostly on my laptop. If you have wifi I can get most of it done while keeping your fur baby feeling safe.
