Pet care experience
We'll Love Your Pets Like You Do!
We both grew up loving and taking care of our family dogs. When I was in college, I often worked as a dog sitter for neighbors and friends. I was able to build a network who trusted me with their precious pooches. We are still in the process of trying to find a pup of our own but in the meantime, while working from home, we have plenty of time to care for your pet. You can expect lots of snapshots and frequent updates (as often as you’d like) to keep you posted. Whether your furry friend prefers to lounge on the couch or go exploring and running around, we're happy to do what makes them happy! We love hiking, exploring, and discovering the gems in our city!

Ratings and reviews
Michelle was amazing, she took very good care of our pup. She shared lots of photos and sent texts to keep us updated . Her home was easy to find with lots of space for our beagle to explore. We are so pleased and look forward to using her again.

Michele was wonderful with our dog Bolt while he spent the day with her. She sent pictures and shared updates with how he was doing. Will definitely use her again the next time we visit Oceanside.

Michele looked after Gabru again - this time for 10 days. She was awesome with updates and super responsive. When we got Gabru back home, he looked very happy. Very grateful that she took great care of him. Definitely recommend.

Kona loved her stay with Michele! Will be using her again!

Michele was amazing with our girl!! She was so communicative, friendly and our pup loved her!! We will definitely be working with Michele many more times!! Thank you Michele!!!

We can’t recommend Michele enough!! Our dogs absolutely loved her and her husband — honestly, I don’t think they even wanted to leave with how much they enjoyed that huge yard and all the cuddles. I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to leaving my dogs because they truly are my comfort, and Michele made the entire experience so much easier. She didn’t mind meeting with me before our trip, and throughout our 8 days away she consistently sent photos and videos that gave me so much peace of mind. I was worried I’d be “that” dog mom constantly checking in, but she made me feel so comfortable and reassured that I never felt the need to ask 30 times a day how they were doing. I genuinely struggle trusting people with my babies, especially after moving to a new area, but Michele completely eased those fears. She is amazing, and we would absolutely recommend her and book with her again anytime we need a sitter.

Schedule
I work from home full time so have the ability and flexibility to be available for your pets needs. Since I am still looking for a dog of my own, it's a great way to love on pups and get my fill of activities with walks or downtime snuggling on the couch.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When staying at my home or a client's, I will always follow their guidelines and rules in terms of what is allowed. Mine is a very dog friendly home so they are always welcome on furniture or in the bed as they see fit.
A typical day
Luckily, being in Vista means we have access to some great parks, hiking trails, and the beach. Depending on each pet's activity level, I would plan some activities for us to get out of the house and get some steps in!
