Highlights
Pet care experience
Fenced Yard & Lots of Love!
We are right near the park in Studio City and love to take our daily walks there! I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including seniors needing daily meds and energetic pups. I’m experienced with treat training and attentive, personalized care in a calm, loving home. With two adults and two dog-loving teens at home, your pup will get plenty of affection, structure, and supervision. My own dog has been set-trained for commercial work, so I understand how to reinforce good behavior gently and consistently. I only board a small number of dogs at a time to make sure each one feels safe, happy, and at home.

Ratings and reviews
Great experience! Michele was always super communicative and responsive the entire time. She took great care of Bonsai and made sure he got plenty of outdoor time. Thank you, Michele!
I am so lucky that I found Michele on Rover.com! She took great care of our beloved Beagle while we were away. Michele sent me pictures of our dog every day and was very responsive to any messages or questions I sent. I will 100% ask Michele to care for our sweet dog again in the future!
Michele is an incredibly kind and capable pet sitter. She has kept my dogs in her home on several occasions over the years, as well as visited my home to walk, feed, and care for my dogs. She sends me updates and photos, which puts me at ease while I am away. I trust her implicitly and cannot recommend her enough!
Michelle and her family have been taking care of my 3-pound Yorkie, Kobe, for the past 6 years—and I truly couldn’t ask for better. Kobe has focal seizures and requires medication 3 times a day, plus lots of love, attention, and walks. Leaving him with just anyone gives me major anxiety, but with Michelle, I have complete peace of mind. She treats Kobe like one of her own, always going above and beyond to make sure he’s comfortable, happy, and safe. She’s been a true godsend to both of us, and I honestly don’t know what I’d do without her. I can’t recommend her enough!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. With my own dog and frequent boarders, our day includes morning and evening walks (often at the park across the street), backyard playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of cuddle breaks throughout the day. Working from home allows me to give your dog attention, let pups out, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. It’s part of my lifestyle, not just a side task—we truly love having dogs around!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I maintain their feeding and medication schedules, offer lots of attention, and make sure they feel relaxed and safe. Dogs have full access to our securely walled backyard throughout the day and are welcome on furniture for maximum comfort. We go on daily walks at the park across the street, and I send regular photo and message updates to keep pet parents in the loop. I only board a limited number of dogs at once to ensure each one receives individualized care and affection.

A typical day
My home is busy, friendly, and full of energy. I live with my husband and two teenagers. I take the pups on daily walks to the park and around the neighborhood. We’ll have some playtime in the yard and cuddles on the couch in the evening. If I have a pup that is up for it, I can take them to Fryman Canyon for a hike!
