About: Hi friend! I'm Michelle and if you're anything like me, your pets are family. That’s why I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for them while you're away. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit or an extended stay, I'm here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved! 😻 As a lifelong pet lover and owner, I know how to keep tails wagging and purrs coming. Every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes yours special. From long walks and playtime to cozy cuddle sessions, I'll make sure your pet feels right at home with me. On a personal note, when I was 4 years old I was terrified of dogs until my loving, clumsy German Shepherd puppy named Henry came into my life. He was my best friend and protector. I dressed him up in tutus, made him attend my tea parties, and go to the park with me. He gave us 4 puppies with Eve (born on Christmas Eve in 2009) the 2nd precious German Shepherd, in my childhood home. My sister and I birthed the puppies ourselves in the downstairs linen closet at 10 and 12 years old. The house was full of playing and joy! I'm excited to meet you and your four-legged family! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to chat about how I can help make your time away worry-free. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Warm regards, Michelle 😺 I work part-time, so I have lots of room in my daily / weekly schedule for play dates! I am also available on the weekend. My pets are in my parents’ home with my little sister so as to not separate the clan. When I’m there, we make homemade dog treats with peanut butter, brush them daily, pet them, and go on walks.

5. Elisabeth H.
“Lisa is the first person I think of when I need a caregiver for my little fluff ball. You can tell she really loves animals. She even asked if he had any special needs or had any behaviors to be aware of. I love that she has a large fenced in back yard for him to run around in. My dog feels right at home in Lisa's care. If you're still trying to figure out who you'd feel comfortable caring for your dog, from one pet owner to another, trust me when I say Lisa is your gal.”
6. Kaitlyn G.
“Kaitlyn loves dogs and is great with them. She has had a dog in her life since she was a small child so she knows how to care for them well. She loves playing with them and seeing them "smile" as she would say. I would recommend Kaitlyn for dog care services and I am sure you will feel the love she has for dogs the minute you meet her.”
7. Sandra S.
“Sandra is very personable and honest. She goes over and above to take care of her clients and their furry loved ones. We are fortunate to have found such a great person to care for our dog Piper. When entrusting your pet and your house with Sandra you simply do not have to worry about them while you're away....they will be cared for the way you would care for them. That's a piece of mind that is priceless!”

“I have known Theresa for over 6 years, and would recommend her with the highest praise! Theresa is a dedicated pet parent of her own fur babies, going above and beyond for those with special needs (diabetes management/shots, wound care, surgical recovery, etc). She treats all fur babies with the love she gives her own, and having past vet clinic experience, is very knowledgeable about potential problems, medication management and more! She is responsible, reliable and a genuinely wonderful person - you cannot go wrong entrusting your fur babies to her!”
10. Alyssa M.

I am currently home from college and I have plenty of time to come and play with your furry friends. I am available at any time in the day.

11. Juliana G.
“Juliana is a responsible, compassionate & fun animal caregiver! She has picked up and reunited so many lost dogs with their owners. She has 2 dogs of her own and apart from walking them, she also teaches them tricks and makes ice treats for them when it's hot. She is so playful and affectionate. She will spend time playing tug of war or ball as well as rub their tummy's or scratch under their chin! She will make your dog feel loved and accompanied when you can't be there. She is a perfect combo of fun & discipline. Give her a chance. Your dog will love her and will be in good hands!”
