Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pups new Bestie :)
I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and with different needs since I was a teen. I’ve had two of my own :) I’m very active so love doing out door activities with them! I currently work remotely, so I have plenty of time to play with your furbaby’s! I am available to drop in for walks if you’re local, dog-sit, and board in my home. With a lot of love and as if they were my own. I have a yard but mainly love going on walks or hikes (depending on the dog).

Ratings and reviews
Michelle was phenomenal!! I had never used Rover before. She started as a daily walker for my pup and then she kept him five nights while on vacation. I never one felt worried about my pup! She was responsible, caring and so sweet with our guy!!!!
Michelle was absolutely amazing. From the first message she was great. I explained to her all the backstory on my recently adopted rescue and she put us at ease right away. She was very understanding and didn’t shy away from a potentially skittish pup. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos and put our minds at ease. I’m very happy with the care she provided my pup and would absolutely recommend her services if you’re in need of someone to watch out for your furry friend.
We left our senior black lab mix with Michelle for an entire day and we couldn't be happier with how it went. I was hesitant leaving my senior dog with someone we didn't know for the first time but after meeting Michelle and her lovely senior dog, I couldn't be more confident Beamer was in good hands. Michelle sent us photos throughout the day which reassured us she was comfortable and having a good time. Thank you so much, Michelle for taking such great care of our girl on a very important day for us :)
Amaretto has stayed with Michelle several times and loves going there. Once she's out of the car, she starts pulling up the walk while wagging her tail. Michelle has been very flexible with pick-up and drop-off and sends great photos of Amaretto during her stay. Being that Amaretto is a delicate toy breed, it's nice to have that peace of mind when she's going to Michelle's.
Michelle was an amazing sitter for our nine month old, golden doodle puppy Zipity! Not only was she so accommodating last minute, but she was extremely communicative and sent us constant updates during his stay. We even FaceTimed her before drop off which made us feel even more comfortable leaving him. We are over protective dog parents, but couldn’t have felt better about leaving him in such good hands! Thank you so much Michelle for a wonderful stay. Will definitely be using you again in the future for Zippity!
Michelle is a wonderful dog caregiver. She stayed with my dog for one week while I travelled internationally. Even without me asking her, she would check in with me every day and send my photos and videos of my baby boy, which really helped me feel less guilty because I could see how happy he was. Great communication too - she was responsive to my messages, and was very professional and was responsible with all medications, walking and eating times I requested. She was very warm with my dog from the beginning, which was so important because my dog has separation anxiety, but I could see right away that Michelle was very intuitive for learning a pet's behaviors and preferences. It's very obvious she loves animals and treats them with respect. From the first time she took care of him, he loved her, so it's a relief if I ever need to travel again, I can leave him in good hands. Since then, I have often asked her to walk him. She is flexible with my work schedule, which has been a tremendous help. He can pull a bit on the leash, but I have seen how patient she is with him and it has helped his habits a lot. I will definitely use her again in the future.

I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule and I don’t ever leave a pet alone more than 3 hrs at most
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for them as I do my own. My husband and I are usually home and if possible (depending on the furbaby) we always include the pups in any outdoor errand/activity
A typical day
I love being active and if able (depending on each pet Ex. Size) I love to take pets on all my activities. I can take them on walks, mini-hikes, a lot of outdoor activities and love socializing them if they’re able.
