Graduate student - very flexible!
Pet care experience
I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds from cavachons to labs, terriers to Newfies. I have been walking dogs since I was 10- my own and my neighbors’. I have a passion for all animals, no matter their species, size, or temperament, and want to make them feel as comfortable as possible when their owner is not around.
Reviews
Michelle took a great care of my Rhodesian Ridgeback. She communicated perfectly and sent photos and updates.
Michelle house sat for us on short notice and we couldn't be happier working with her! She was very responsive and we were able to schedule everything just a few days out from our trip. At our meet and greet, it was immeately clear she was comfortable with our dogs and cat, and more importantly, they were comfortable with her. We have a special needs dog that needs to be picked up regulary and can be distant to strangers, but Michelle was able to handle everything and win her over very quickly. She sent several pictures and updates and provided a great sitting experience. We are already looking to book her again!
Michelle provided overnight pet sitting in our home for the weekend, watching our three quirky Newfoundlands. The dogs were happy and our house was in great shape when we got home. She went above and beyond, even brushing out the dogs! She was available and flexible for a meet and greet beforehand and the dogs liked her right away. We definitely recommend Michelle.
Michelle did a great job during her stay. One of our dogs had been stung by a bee or wasp just prior to her stay, and while she seemed fine, we were glad to get reassurance

Safety, trust & environment
I will provide your pet with attention, affection, and meet them where they are at in their needs. I also have a lot of experience with shy dogs who are high anxiety. My time with the Animal Humane Society has taught me the proper techniques to approach and tend to dogs with different comfort zones for strangers in their homes.
Home
Information Michelle A. would like to know about your pet
Before I sit your dog, I find it important to know their special quirks, any medications they may take, their feeding/bathroom routines, temperament, breed specific information (if applicable) and anything else specific to your dog.
A typical day
I take my dogs on daily walks with a length that’s dependent on their breed’s energy level. Bonus if your yard is fenced in and we can play off leash fetch!
