Information Michelle B. would like to know about your pet

It is good to know if a dog has not been spayed or neutered when booking. Any special needs or instructions are helpful to have ahead of time so I can best care for the dog.

A typical day

I have a fenced in backyard where dogs can fun freely, play with my dog, play fetch or just relax in the sun or shade. If a dog is leash trained, I will take it for walks throughout my neighborhood.

Pet care experience

Aside from caring for my own dogs, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages! I have a 3 1/2 year old springer spaniel who loves to play but knows when it’s time to chill.

Michelle did a great job making sure my cavalier, Joy, was cared for and content. Joy spent her time having fun in the backyard, then coming in for a rest, then back out again, all in the company of Michelle's sweet dog. I have already signed up for Joy to return for another pet sit. There is nothing like knowing my fur baby is safe and having fun while I am away.

My pups loved staying at Michelle's! The fenced backyard is perfect. Communication before, during, and after the sit was great. I felt that my pups were safe and well taken care of and would recommend Michelle to others.

We recently went on a vacation for 8 days and had never left our standard poodle with a pet sitter before. We had a great vacation. But Tina had an even better time than us! Michelle took her for lots of walks, she played with other sweet doggies and hung out with Michelle’s adorable daughters. I’ve known Michelle for over 40 years. So I know how amazing, kind, and responsible she is. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with her. And any pet owner can rest easy knowing what good hands their furry family member is in. I can’t recommend Michelle enough!

Michelle is an exceptional caretaker of our dog. She loves dogs. Our dog gets so excited when we pull in her driveway. It makes leaving our dog so much easier knowing how happy he is there. Her springer spaniel and our dog love to race around her fenced in backyard. Michelle is reliable, trustworthy and kind. Our dog loves her. She always goes the extra mile to ensure our dog is well cared for and loved when we leave him with Michelle. I highly recommend Michelle for dog sitting.
