Information Michele K. would like to know about your pet

What is your dog's regular routine? How are they on a leash? Would you consider them shy or outgoing? What is their favorite way to play? What calms them down when stressed or excited? Are they friendly with other dogs? Are they friendly with strangers? Are they on any medications or supplements? Do they have the run of the house? Are they allowed on the furniture?

A typical day

I assess the dog's personality and tailor my care to what suits them well whether it's a lot of play to release their energy and have fun and/or it's gentle companionship and snuggles.

Fun Pal & Protector Who Works @Home

Pet care experience

I'm a great and dedicated pal, protector, and provider for your dogs and plants when you are out of town for work trips or a well deserved holiday. NOTE: I work as a team with my 7 year old Bichon-Beagle, Olly. He is friendly and easy going. We work with dogs and cats (and people) with the same relaxed temperament. I have so much fun taking photographs and will enjoy sending you daily updates. I work from home, so am there to spend a lot of quality time with them. I'd love to partner with you to give your baby the best care possible when you travel. As a house sitter I'm clean, detail oriented, and very respectful. I have a lifetime of personal relationships with animals and over 8 years professional experience pet sitting. I've been a volunteer at the Berkeley East Bay Humane Society where I learned dog training skills. I can give pills or injections in a calm, kind, and gently firm manner. I love to walk and exercise with furry friends and am good at determining when they want a snuggle or when some space is needed. I'm good at thinking on my feet and am graceful under pressure.

Michelle is absolutely wonderful in every way. Ava and Shadow bonded instantly and were completely comfortable with her. And Shadow can be a little shy but with Michelle he immediately wanted to cuddle and play. She managed the medication perfectly. She took them on outdoor outings which they loved. We got daily photos of our happy pups. And she attends to extras like the house that was in beautiful shape. We will have her again any time she is available. Thank you sooo much Michele we are so happy to find you. Marcia and Jan

Michele is a great dog/house sitter. She has a warm and calm demeanor which my dog picked up on right away and he felt comfortable with her quickly. Michele sent picture updates while I was away so I never had to worry. She also cleaned all the dishes she used while she was here and put the sheets in the washer. Truly a great sitter all around.

Michele did a great job for us and we'd highly recommend her for any pet sitting assignment you have. She took good care of our two dogs and provided us with frequent updates on how they were doing. Great job!
