About: I grew up on a dairy farm so taking care of animals has been a lifelong joy of mine. I am the kind of person who your dog will never bark, nip, or growl out. My personal motto: no task too big, no dog too much! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your furry pals. No matter if it's daily walks or drop-in visits, I can assure piece of mind and quality care when working with your loved ones. I take the time to make sure I understand the regular standard of care clients provide their pets. I do this as a means to ensure piece of mind that your loved ones are well taken care of during our time together.
“Michelle is great!! My dog is very shy and slow to warm up to people so I was worried about finding someone to walk him while we are at work but Michelle has been awesome!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was ten years old. Family members and neighbors have counted on me to take care of their pets for years, including pets of all ages and with medical needs. I have an incredible attention to detail and will treat your pets as my own. I am also willing to care for pets other than cats and dogs. I specifically have experience with leopard geckos, guinea pigs, and parrots, and my experience volunteering in wildlife rehabilitation would allow me to assist with any exotic. I'm currently self-employed, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your precious pets. I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walking every day of the week. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, and I will be sure to follow all instructions given to me. Keeping your pets safe will be my priority. You can trust that your pets will be safe and happy while they are in my care. If I am staying in your home, I will do my best to make sure my impact on the space is as minor as possible and the only evidence that I was there will be a happy pet!
About: I have had dogs my entire life. They ranged from puppies all the way to them becoming senior dogs, and they all came from very different backgrounds. I am especially good with senior dogs. My childhood dog eventually had severe arthritis and needed medication and some extra help. I would do anything for her that helped her feel more comfortable! I also puppysit for some family members so I am also used to the craziness a puppy can bring! I am currently available most days at any time until August 11. My cat does need medication at 8pm, but any other time of the day works for me! I can care for your pets however you need in your home! Whether it's going on a walk, playing outside, or staying inside, whatever is best for them is doable!

“Michelle was fantastic! My dog Samson took to her right away and she did a great job keeping me updated on how he was doing while I was away on vacation, which gave me huge peace of mind. Will definitely use her for dog walks in the future!”

Ryan does such an great job with our two pups. Our younger dog tends to pull ahead, and our older girl tends to want to stop and sniff frequently. Ryan helps both dogs get enrichment on their walks. He's also been a great communicator, and reliable house sitter. We will book again.
