Availability

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.

Information Michele K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any sort of special preferences, dietary restrictions, or behavioral concerns. I want to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable above all else.

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!

Pet care experience

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!

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.

Very friendly, easy going. Great for a dig walker just meeting new pups.
