Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that are important to know. Besides that, (for boarding) I’m fine with whichever breed that falls within the size limits on my profile. As for any of my other services, I have no preferences on breed or size, all are welcome & loved!

A typical day

A typical day will consist of fun enrichment activities like walks, and games in my backyard. I like to start my days off with a run, if your dog loves runs, we could go for one! I also like to focus on basic training skills we could work on with treats!

Pure love. Trusted care

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 12. Mostly focused on friends and neighbors but am ready to spread more joy and help. I’ve taken care of pups as young as a couple months and focused on their fine learning abilities through basic training. I’m a huge advocate of dog walks and training in basic skills.

I am pleased to provide a recommendation for Michele Rivas as a dog sitter. On several occasions, I have entrusted her with the care of my dog, Auggie, and each time, I have been thoroughly impressed by the level of attention, care, and dedication Michele provides. Michele is not only responsible and reliable, but also deeply affectionate when it comes to understanding my dog’s needs. I truly appreciate the peace of mind I get knowing my pet is receiving such top-notch care. I highly recommend Michele to anyone looking for a compassionate, trustworthy, and professional pet sitter Sincerely, Alexandra
