About: Hey pet parents! With two decades of dedicated animal care under my belt, I bring a wealth of experience to ensure your beloved pets receive the best possible care. I got my first dog when I was 21 and haven't not been obsessed with dogs ever since! My journey in pet care has encompassed everything from active playtime to administering specialized medical treatments. Our family currently has 2 rescue wonder mutts, both of whom can be a bit of a handful. I've had the privilege of working closely with wonderful dog trainers who have taught me how to handle our fearful dogs, helping them build trust and confidence. I have also taken the Fundamentals of Dog Training and Behavior Course through Victoria Stillwell Dog Training Academy, and just began taking the Fear Free Pet Sitter Certification Course. My commitment to the well-being of animals extends beyond routine care, as I've consistently provided attentive support for dogs with various medical needs. One of my dogs, Neko, has an autoimmune disorder requiring daily meds and monthly injections. Your furry family members are not just pets to me; they're cherished companions deserving of exceptional care and compassion. As a pet parent myself, I know how hard it is to leave our furry best friends with someone else. I will be sure to thoroughly go through any and all information regarding your pet's needs and preferences so that I can provide the kind of care I would want for my pups. In addition to dogs, we have always had one if not two cats in the house as well, and am happy to befriend feline companions too! My schedule is extremely flexible. I am available Monday-Friday and able to meet your dog's needs and spend quality time playing, walking, snuggling, whatever your pet prefers! Occasional weekend availability is open to discussion as well. I know my pups are most comfortable at home, so I would love to spend time with your pup in their own space. Clients can expect updates on their pets via text, as well as photos & videos if requested!

About: As an experienced pet care professional, I differentiate myself by offering specialized skills in caring for senior pets and those with special needs. With a lifetime of owning dogs, including one with various health issues like thyroid, arthritis, and renal problems, I have developed a deep understanding of their unique requirements. Additionally, my experience extends to caring for small dogs, cats, and even exotic animals. I understand the importance of incorporating pet care into my daily or weekly routine. While it may not directly affect my own personal schedule, it is crucial to prioritize the well-being and needs of the pets entrusted to me. I dedicate specific time slots for activities such as feeding, walking, playtime, and ensuring their overall happiness. By integrating pet care into my routine, I provide consistent and reliable care for these pets, helping them stay active and maintaining their physical and emotional well-being. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their routine and needs. This includes waking up early, engaging in playtime, following their feeding schedule, and ensuring they have regular bathroom breaks. I provide a comfortable environment, companionship, and any necessary medication or special care. Regular communication with pet owners is maintained to keep them updated on their pet's well-being.

“I needed a very last min dog sitter. I couldn’t afford to pay boarders so I asked Michelle if she wouldnt mind watching my dog over a 3 day weekend. She not only took my baby girl on daily walks but she also gave her a bath after she stepped in mud and was covered in dirt. She sent the cutest pics each day and it really helped me to enjoy my vacation with peace of mind. I highly recommend her as a pet caregiver. Her responsibility and love for animals are truly exceptional. She goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of every pet in her care. Michelle's dedication and genuine passion for animals make her the perfect choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring pet caregiver.”

“Julia has done pet sitting for us frequently, and our aging pup is always happy to see her! She is careful with medications and keeps our dog on a familiar schedule for eating and walks. She’s all around great and we never worry when Julia is pet sitting for us!”
