Is he a good boy? Yes he is!

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.

Michele was wonderful as always. We have used Michele several times for extended stays with your pup and she has been amazing every time. Great communication!

Having Michele stay at our house gave me a lot of peace of mind leaving our needy cat. I could tell Michele took great care of him by how calm he was when we got home. Communication was great and the house was left in perfect shape. Will definitely be asking Michele to watch Meko again!

She treats our fur babies like family. Victoria and Albert didn't seem as anxious when we returned as they have with other sitters. She spends sufficient time in our house while sitting that it maintains the routines that help our pets feel safe and loved. Very grateful for Michele's attentive care.
