Pet care experience

Loving dog mom & experienced sitter

I’m a devoted dog mom and lifelong animal lover excited to start caring for pets in the Holly Ridge, Topsail, Hampstead, and Wilmington areas. I previously cared for dogs in the Washington, DC area, and I’m thrilled to bring that experience and passion to my new community. I provide personalized care tailored to each dog’s needs—whether that means regular potty breaks, daily walks, energetic playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific feeding routines, and even helping with basic training and reinforcing good behaviors. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I treat every pup like my own and can’t wait to meet your furry family member!

We absolutely loved Michele! She went above and beyond for our 2 dogs and our cat! She was great at communicating and made us feel so at ease being away from them!

Michele has been amazing. She takes great care of our sweet Murphy. We had a canceled flight this trip and didn’t make it home until the following day. She worked with us and stayed the extra night with no hesitation. Murphy loves her and is always so excited to see her ❤️

Michele took such wonderful care of our cat, Oscar, while we were away! She was attentive, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. Oscar can sometimes be shy, but he warmed right up and we came home to a happy, relaxed cat! We will definitely be booking with Michele again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

Michele did an amazing job with Franklin & Finley. They loved playing with her dog Roo as well. She took cute videos & sent them home with the sweetest card. We’re excited to use her again in the near future!! ❤️❤️

Schedule

I work from home and I am therefore very flexible especially for boarding and pet sitting. I can also be flexible for walks and drop in's, although I do have a few meetings throughout the week I cannot miss.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a very friendly 5 year old dog who is used to having other dogs in his home. We also have a dedicated dog room with a bed, light, fan, and water/food bowls. We have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for zoomies and live close to nice walking trails and the beach.

Pets

A typical day

On a normal day we take a sunrise walk on then beach and come home for breakfast after breakfast is doggy nap time while I’m working. A couple hours later is the second potty break of the day which typically includes some play time outside. After I finish work we will go for a walk or go to the dog park or play fetch in the backyard. Then it is pup dinner time and after dinner potties. Prior to bed pup is let out to potty again and my dog sleeps in his crate in our room at night.

I would love to know your pets quirks, their favorite things, and anything they don’t like. Do they have fears? Do they have allergies? Do they drink bottled water or tap? Who is their vet? Do they have any medical conditions? Anything you think it’s important to share, over communication is better than under communication in my mind.
