About Michele S.

Dog skills

15 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets comfort and safety are always my #1 priority. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming home where your dog can feel right at home. I make sure they have both companionship and personal space when needed. I have a room in my home with a tall baby gate dedicated for dogs where they can decompress, and nothing will bother them if they want their own space. I also have a very playful and friendly Dalmatian, Siggy, who loves having company around the house. I will always supervise if Siggy would be around your dog, including a safe and proper introduction of the two dogs and continuously watching them when they would be playing.

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them goes beyond just “watching dogs” for me! I spent nearly a year working at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, as well as energy levels-from playful 4 month old puppies to sweet senior dogs who just need a little extra patience and care. I grew up around dachshunds and dobermans my whole life, and I now have my own Dalmatian that I rescued from illegal breeding. I understand both high-energy breeds and animals with unique personalities. My experience in pet sitting, dog behavior, proper socialization, and enrichment allows me to provide care that is attentive, structured, and tailored to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, walks, mental stimulation, or simply a calm and restful environment, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for and loved while you are away.

Michele was absolutely amazing with my dog, Max. From the moment we met her, I could tell how experienced, caring, and genuinely passionate she is about animals. She kept me updated, made sure Max was comfortable and happy, and treated him like he was her own dog. Max can be pretty energetic, but Michele was incredibly patient and attentive with him, giving him plenty of play time, affection, and care. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly loved being with her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would trust Michele with Max again in a heartbeat! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and knowledgeable dog sitter.

Michele has been amazing with my dog, Kaiser. She’s caring, responsible, and always makes sure he feels comfortable, safe, and loved. Kaiser absolutely enjoys being around her, and I fully trust her to take great care of him while I am gone at school or doing other things. She would be an excellent choice for any dog sitting job because of her patience, reliability, genuine love for animals, and her choice to put every dog first before anything else no matter what.
