Your dogs are treated like family

Pet care experience

I bring over 30 years experience in animal health, nutrition and welfare with each visit. I am a vet tech and can administer medications as necessary. I have also worked with local animal shelters and rescues which makes me uniquely qualified to handle dogs in unfamiliar or stressful situations and help them to feel right at home. I am passionate about and committed to your dog's safety, well-being and happiness while you're away. They will feel secure and loved during your absence. You can be assured they will be cared for like they are one of my own. I have a dog and cat of my own who are eager to make new friends.

Michele was FANTASTIC!! I can't say enough about someone who will hike uphill through snow to get to a house to check on pets, but that is exactly what she did when my driveway became impassible during a snow while I was away. Her response to my amazement at that dedication was a simple, "Well, I would hope someone would do that for my pets." Really lovely, and all was great when I got home, pets quite content.

Michele was phenomenal! From the time I met with her and introduced my puppies, I felt very comfortable. She connected immediately with my puppies and they loved her. While out of town my pups got into a bag of coconut and you know the rest. Michele very graciously cleaned everything up and when I came home from a very long day, I didn't have the mess.to clean up. (I think the cat may have played a part). I will definitely call on Michele again and HIGHLY recommend her.

I am a full time student, and my fiancé travels for work... With it just being me, my dogs have 8-10 hour days throughout the week and it is something that adds to my stress and gives me anxiety. I used to have friends and family stop by while I was in school to let the dogs out to play, but they quickly became VERY unreliable (which added to my stress even more). I decided that I had to find a solution so that I could focus more on school and stop worrying so much about the doggie sons being home for long hours. A friend of mine suggested to check out Rover.com (she is in the Chambersburg area and found a lady in her area to help her out). After a few weeks of looking at rover and contemplating if I would feel comfortable having a stranger in the house, I finally decided to take the leap and set up a meet and greet with MICHELE!!!! During our meet and greet, Michele visited for about an hour, and she was so amazing with my dogs. Her and I talked for awhile and I learned that we shared the same love for animals! After she left, I felt like I could trust her and I immediately felt relieved. Since then, she has done drop in visits at my home a couple times. She is SO RELIABLE! TRUSTWORTHY! ANNNND my doggie sons love her! If you are in the area, you need to book with Michele! I look forward to many more visits from Michele and hope you utilize her other doggie sitting services like an overnight stay or a visit at her home! Thank you Michele for being so awesome and helping me!!!!!

There is nobody I'd rather have care for my pets - cat, dog, bird - whatever. Michele's experience with dog rescue grants her amazing patience, depth of expertise and compliments her innate spot-on instincts with dogs. Her experience with veterinary medicine lends a piece of mind that can't be matched. Your dog will be safe, secure and loved while your away. Your little tail-wagger couldn't be in better hands.
