Pet care experience

Honest & compassionate pet sitter.

I've taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. Family and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats while they are on vacation. I have experience administering medicine to both cats and dogs. My dog, Cody, had mega esophagus and required a special high chair and food consistency to prevent aspiration. I was also a foster parent to both dogs and cats while volunteering at the SPCA.

Simba and Zola love staying with Michelle. She gave them so much love and attention. We so so appreciate it. She sent us lots of pictures and updates on their status. She is so awesome and we look forward to having them stay with her again.

Our dog stayed for over a week, and we felt so much peace of mind with Michelle being the one taking care of him! Her communication before and during his stay was beyond exceptional. We are so grateful! We will absolutely be booking with Michelle in the future.

Michele was great to our boy Takh and to us as well. We had a mishap (a flat tire) on our way to pick him up, for which AAA was slow to help and Michelle was very understanding and accommodating, despite the fact that the car trouble threw a wrench in her plan for the evening. She took great care of our boy and we would recommend her to anyone and look forward to using her service again.

Safety, trust & environment

I recently lost my dog a little over a year ago who was a rescue from the Hillsborough County Animal Shelter in Tampa, Florida. I have a fenced in yard and will take the dog for a walk, play with there favorite toy and sit outside and sunbath. My client has a fenced in yard. Depending on the temperament of the dog, the animal could stay at my house. The dog or cat can snuggle with me on the couch or sleep in bed.

A typical day

I would let the dog spend time outside in my fenced in yard. We can play outside and go for walks. Treats and petting are a must. We can snuggle and be couch potatoes also. Cats will also be shown play time, brushing and being a couch potato also.
