Highlights
Pet care experience
I’ll care for your pet as my own!
I’ve owned dogs of all sizes and cats my entire life! I grew up in a big animal lover home so in the last I’ve fostered, love volunteering at shelters and pet sitting! I have decades of experience with animals - dogs, cats and reptiles! I’m comfortable with pets with medical needs or providing a separate space for anxious pets! My cat and dog are both good with other dogs and cats so they will love the company but if your pet needs the space, my boys are happy to stay upstairs in the large ensuite! I currently work from home full time so expect lots of cuddles, walks, play time and tons of pictures of your little one!

Ratings and reviews
Michelle is AMAZING! She is so sweet and a fantastic communicator. Banjo adored his time with her! See you again!
Michelle is amazing! We had her watch Tyson first by himself and she sent a bunch of pictures. This time she had Ginger and Tyson. She was spot on when describing their personalities. She communcates
Michelle was absolutely wonderful with Bentley while I was out of town\! From the moment she started caring for him, I knew he was in great hands\. She treated him like he was her own, making sure he got plenty of walks, attention, cuddles, and, of course, lots of belly rubs\! One of the things I appreciated most was how consistently Michelle kept me updated\. She regularly sent pictures and texts throughout my time away, which gave me peace of mind and let me see how happy and comfortable Bentley was\. It was obvious from the pictures that he was having a great time and getting plenty of love and attention\. Bentley can be a little spoiled, so knowing that Michelle was giving him the walks, cuddles, belly rubs, and companionship he loves made being away so much easier\. When I came home, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time with Michelle\. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone who will provide exceptional care and genuinely love their pet. She went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her care for Bentley again\. Thank you, Michelle, for taking such great care of our boy\!
Great communication and very detailed knowledge Rover Card. Will be booking again for future drop visits!
Gurbata was so amazing with my wild little pugapom! She was great at communicating with me and sent lots of photos. She went above and beyond with taking care of my dog and gave him the attention and snuggles he thinks he deserves! Can’t recommend enough!
Such a great sitter! Can’t recommend enough. Takes great care of my dog and she is an excellent communicator.

Schedule
I’m currently working at home full time with a flexible schedule so I’m able to fit in feeding several walks throughout the day, play time and plenty of cuddles!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a shaded fenced yard and an entire home for your furbaby to explore! I have a very friendly dog and cat (both small) that love new friends and will keep your furbaby company with playtime! If your pet likes their space, my pets don’t mind staying upstairs on the 3rd floor ensuite which is the same size as downstairs! We will fit in several walks in a day in my very quiet and green neighborhood!
Pets
A typical day
I like to start my mornings with a good walk to stretch the legs and relieve the pups! After we come in, clean paws and have our breakfast. I like to fit in 3-4 walks a day and there will be plenty of cuddles in between! Once I day I do general command training (with treats) with my dog so I will do it with the group which helps stimulate their minds and reinforce good behavior! And for the kitties, we have plenty of toys for enrichment and several cat trees around the house! After dinner, we go for one more walk or have some playtime before we cuddle in front of the tv till bedtime!

- I always ask for feeding routines, dietary needs, and if the dogs are crate trained or potty trained. We can work around just about anything but need to know ahead of time to make sure we are prepared!
