Information Michele M. would like to know about your pet

How comfortable is your dog around new people or dogs off-leash and on? Does your pet have any sensitivities (eg, don't touch their ears)? Do they have any short-term or chronic medical conditions I need to be aware of? Does your dog need to be confined to one area when unattended? Are there areas of the house or any furnishing that are off-limits to them? What is your pet's usual feeding and walking schedule, and do you have a regular ritual around feeding or walking? What kind of toys, games does dog like?

Pet care experience

Your dog is part of your family. I'd like to give them the affection, attention, and exercise they need when you're not able to do so. My dog walks and visits include exploration and stimulation as well as exercise and elimination. I have cared for my pets and friends' pets for 45 years. I have two years experience house-sitting professionally and have recently expanded to dog-walking and home visits. I'm an experienced pet owner, having owned and cared for dogs, cats, and small mammals my entire life. I've taken an obedience training class with a dog and learned a lot of interesting techniques. I read and watch shows that offer deeper understanding of how dogs think, and what they need from us, I am also an experienced nanny. Parents trust me to take loving care of their young human children; you can trust me with your dog children! I am willing to give extra care to dogs with chronic medical conditions. Also available to watch your cats, hamsters, and birds as a house sitter or for drop-in visits.

As always, Michelle took great care of Meko and left the house even cleaner than it started.

I felt so comfortable leaving Kai with Michele. She cared and knew what she was doing and felt that from the moment I met her. Kai was happy when we returned from our weekend away. Will definitely use Michele again!

Michele has taken care of my cat several times and has always done an excellent job. My cat is very comfortable with her and she is reliable and trustworthy.
