I will care for your pet as my own

Pet care experience

I have been a pet caregiver for over 30 years. I strongly believe in positive reinforcement, and love to provide a temporary home while you're away. We believe in providing a healthy diet and exercise every day. I have been a responsible caregiver to either a dog or cat since I was 8 years old and currently love our dogs Walter Wiggins and Sadie Sue. Our daughter lives with us while attending nursing school at Texas State University and while she does her Abbie lives here too! She is a Lab Mix with the best energy. I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule. I have good reliable transportation so I am able to visit dog parks, grooming appointments, vet appointments, etc...upon special requests. I have also been a caregiver for Max a short-muzzled face breed pug, so I am aware of the precautions needed to take with these types of breeds in the Austin heat. I can't wait to meet my next furry friend and help in any way I can. I have cared for elderly pups too!

Michele is great! I needed a daycare sitter last minute for my 1 year old puppy, and Michele was eager to help. She sent me multiple photo updates during the day and I could tell my dog had a great time playing in the backyard with her dogs. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others!

Michele was great! Fast response time, very kind, accommodating, and sent pictures of Penny eating and playing. She was even kind enough to have Penny meet her dogs briefly before the actual sitting to make sure they were good to go! Will definitely be booking with Michele again in the future.

She is one awesome puppy sitter! When contacting Michele for a last minute boarding since husby and I were heading out of town the next night, I had contacted several people regarding taking care of our dog Haley. She was the only one who responded within a few minutes of messaging and was very eager to watch over our furbaby. Michele was very accommodating and a fast responder. She works from home full-time so she will always be available to take care of your dog. She also has 2 of her own dogs and her daughter's dog in the house so your dog will have lots of fun! Her house is clean and well kept nd no dog smells despite having 3 dogs in the house. She sent picture updates to let me know how Haley was doing and kept us informed of any irregular food behaviors (Haley did not finish her breakfast on the day I dropped her off at Michele's). She is a very caring and loving dog mom who just so happens to be so close to us (another plus of asking her to watch Haley for the weekend!). Would definitely recommend her for last minute sitting/doggy daycare, going for walks and caring for your dog!
