Michelle is incredible! She helped us immensely by caring for our pupper in home while we enjoyed a weekend away. Having recently moved, It was important for us to keep our pup less stressed in a familiar environment - Michelle totally understood and approached Finley with patience and KINDNESS!! Michelle sent the best photos of our little man and I knew he was in excellent hands. Michelle is an animal whisperer and we are just so glad to have found her 🥹 ty Michelle!!!!!

About: I am a proud mother of a 4yr old son and an 10 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

Each time we went on vacation or just a quick weekend trip, Lindsay helped to take care of our dog, Gus. He’s high energy and she kept right up with him. & she’s the best dog mom to her own too! 5 stars.

Hello! I think Vanessa would be a great pet sitter. She has a strong love for animals and owns two cats herself which are well taken cared of. I’ve had her watch my two cats and dog while I was on vacation before and she did an excellent job at following my pet care instructions. My older cat Arti has medication he needs to take and she would give me updates per my request. I was very grateful having her around while I was away for my trip! I highly recommend her care.

About: I am a big dog lover! I've been around dogs my whole life! When i was younger i use to help breed and take care of full blooded Akitas. My clients love my constant updates i give you when your fur baby is in my care because who doesn't like getting a photo of your baby having fun while you are gone!?! Sandy goes everywhere with me and loves play dates with other pups! By the way I always have treats in my purse!!! I've taken care of dogs of all sizes including special needs dogs as well! Don't have to worry if your fur baby isn't getting enough attention because they will be spoiled in my care with lots of walks and play time. I currently am a stay at home mama. With that gives me a flexible schedule to be able to take care of your fur baby. When I do a drop in visit I always provide up to date photos of when I stopped by and what I did or what your fur baby does.
