Dogs bring me joy! Love to pet sit
Hi! I'm Michele.. I'm a nurse and I'm quite a dog lover! :) I work nights so i'll reply the same day when I get up :) I have had dogs most of my life. I was raised with German Shepherds and I had my own Shepherd Jerrylee from 2002 to 2014. I have also had an older beagle mix that I adopted from a shelter for two years before he passed from cancer sadly.I spent several years with two dogs and it made my home so extra full of love! Additionally I worked as a veterinary assistant part time for a few years. I cared for my Jerrylee who had health problems in his older years. I'm comfortable with all types of dogs . I live in the Baltimore County not far from white marsh. I would like to build a pet sitting side gig but for now I want to pet sit because of my love for animals. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I was 3 years old! I just have always felt drawn to dogs.. they are so unconditional in the love they give. I had a german shepherd growing up and then I got my own in my 20's. I also rescued 2 dogs from shelters as well. My experience administering medication Yes I have done this before * Worked as a Vet assistant *Scheduling/Services*- Available to do early or late walk Tues, Wed, Thurs and Friday, Sat. I work nights 3 times a week so my schedule is flexible. Can also do overnight stay during the week as well depending on distance. At this time I can only petsit at your home. Please let me know details about your pet and if he/ she has certain dislikes etc, medications and so on. I love taking care of dogs so I will adjust my schedule if necessary. Also dog first aid/ CPR in progress. I currently have 2 cats and a 2 year Labrador.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Michele did a wonderful job caring for Takoda! Was very quick to respond, and was able to help us on VERY short notice as our original sitter cancelled. Very kind and attentive to the pups needs, we forgot to put a water bowl in the room our dog was staying in, she asked if that was something he needed. Sent photo updates with each visit which helped us see Takoda was happy and comfortable hanging on the couch with her. He has some anxiety when it comes to other dogs, Michele did a great job of following our special instructions for him to make sure he stayed safe. Was kind enough to collect our mail for us as well, as I had a package delivered while we were gone. Very happy with her services, will definitely book again!
Michele took great care of our fur babies while we were out of town, going the extra mile to ensure they were taken care of while we were gone. She not only walked them but fed them, made sure the house temperature was good and she even gave them some extra attention when our flight was delayed. Thank you for taking care of them like they were your own!
My fiancé and I were so nervous about using someone to help walk our dog when we’re both working long shifts at work. Not only did Michele answer literally all of my questions and concerns with patience but our dog Ferb LOVES her. We are so grateful to have found a great match in Michele!
This was our first time using a dog walker and we were so nervous. Michelle was so pleasant and made me feel so much better. Our pup, Ferb, is fully worn out and I’ve got peace of mind knowing he’ll be well taken care of when I’m working long shifts.
Michele was so helpful watching my Boston terrier, Dexter! She absolutely loves pet sitting and it shows. She is professional, kind and loving to her pets. Dexter absolutely loved her. Will book again!
Michele is an extremely honest, reliable, and caring person. She absolutely loves animals and it shows when she watches my 2 dogs and 2 cats for me. She goes above and beyond and loves them like her own. She is responsible and skilled enough to solve issues on her own without reaching out to me on vacation; although, I have no doubt that should a tragic emergency occur she would do everything she could for my children and to get into contact with me. I'd recommend her to anyone and I without hesitation would trust her with a key to my house.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my client's home I would accompany the dogs(s) in the yard for safety and I would engage them by playing. I would take seriously any issues the client has made me aware of before sitting.
