Safety, trust & environment

I will play with them in your home. Make sure they’re comfortable and happy just as if they were my own. I will also take them on walks and cuddle with them.

Information Michelle B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog jumps on people if your dog likes to steal purses I have had that or if they like to steal food and what is your dogs favorite toy or treat.

A typical day

If you need me just to come over to walk your dog, I will do that and when we’re done with the walk, I give them a treat and I will leave a note of when I was over what they did on the walk. If you need me for an overnight, I will let the dog out feed them, let them out before I go to bed let them out in the morning and feed them and then also leave you a note of what they did. If you need me just to come over and visit the dog and play with the dog I will.. If you have a fenced in yard I will play ball with them in the yard or frisbee , otherwise I will just play with them inside.

Great companion for your pet

Pet care experience

I've been caring for pets since I was 20 years old. Friends, family members, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide overnight care for their beloved pets. Growing up, I had a poodle and gained experience caring for a variety of other animals, including fish, turtles, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, and rabbits. This lifelong experience has taught me how to understand and respond to the unique needs and personalities of different animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same attention, patience, affection, and respect that I would give my own. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and responsive, and I'll make sure your pet receives excellent care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Michelle was great! Very thorough, very clear communicator, excellent updates; it was clear she was enjoying taking care of the dogs. Above and beyond. We recommend her and will definitely be using her again.

I used Michelle to care for my cat(s) for over more than 10 years. Michelle has always been very reliable. I’ve used her to come in during the day and have also used her for overnights. Over the years I have had either one or two cats most of them were used to going in and out. Of my last cats, one went in and out and the other was deaf so was not allowed to go out. She was always able to manage them and would highly recommend her to care for your pets.

Michelle B.’s skill in handling a dog and affection for them was apparent when I first met with her. She came with an excellent recommendation built over years working for my neighbor’s pets. She has stayed overnight caring for my dog and can administer medication as well as diet considerations.

MIchelle has helped care for our large very active dog for the last 3 years. She has stayed overnight in our home to watch her while we are away and is extremely reliable and responsible. While watching our children, she takes out our dog and plays with her. She is proactive and will ask if the dog needs to be let out if we are out for the day. She has been helpful in training as well. We know our dog is in good hands with Michelle!
