Owner away? I walk, sit, and play!
Pet care experience
As a kid and teen, I grew up with small pets like Guinea pigs, dogs, and cats. I always loved going to my friend’s and neighbor’s homes to play with their animals. As I grew older, my group of fur friends also grew to a variety of people’s fur children. As an adult, I help take care of multiple animals ranging from puppy to senior. How can I help you and your fur babies today?
Reviews
Dogs loved Michelle. Very communicative & responsive. Sent photos & text updates. Left house clean. Perfect sitter.
Michelle was great! We hired her for daily dog walks. She was very responsive to messages and provided us with daily updates/pics. Hobbes, our Golden Retriever, was happy to see her. We would definitely hire Michelle again.
Michelle is awesome! She is professional, reliable, responsive and our dog loves her. She took care of our dog while we were on vacation for a week and we came back with a clean house and a happy dog. We would definitely use Michelle again and recommend her anyone.
Amazing with my timid dog!! What a relief to have peace of mind that Molly was liking her new friend, Michelle.

Safety, trust & environment
I like to get to know the owners, the pet, and their environment. It would be helpful to know the pet’s habits at home or when walking, so I can help them be more comfortable with a new human around.
Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet
Every dog is different and that’s ok! I like to know if a dog has a specific schedule they follow, eating habits, if they take medication I need to administer, their potty habits and cues, any other health issues, how active they are, how they are on leash and how they react to other dogs on leash. I think those are the most basic things, but if there is anything else, please feel free to let me know!
A typical day
I love to attend to each individual pet’s needs. With younger fur babies and certain breeds, I know they needs lots of play time. I’ll go on 20 minute to one hour plus walks with them and play as needed! With older and senior dogs, I’ll go with owner recommendations. With house sittings, I do like to go hiking or to grassy parks with the fur babies! Whatever activities I do end up doing, I always ask the owners first for permission.

Availability
I have open availability right now and will be able to do pet care anytime that it’s needed. I understand that it’s summer time and most people go away for holiday! I’ll be there if you need assistance.
