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.

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.

Michelle was absolutely fantastic, 10 out of 10. You can tell she truly cares for the dogs she watches and treats them as her own. My dog is typically very shy but he was playing with his toys and relaxing in Michelle’s care. She provides pictures and updates on how your dog is doing and is very responsive. My dog has only been on his new medication for a few months so I was nervous to let someone else give him meds, but Michelle ensured he was given his meds on time without any issues. She will 100% be my go-to sitter from now on, and I would recommend her to anyone wanting someone to love and care for your dog just as you would. Thanks so much!!!

Communication was great the entire day my dog was at Michelle's. He was well cared for and enjoyed himself.

I couldn’t be more happy with choosing Michelle to take care of my 2 pups! She kept them happy and safe for 4 days and was excellent at communicating! She sent multiple pictures throughout the day showing how content my pups were and gave me a much needed peace of mind. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets but Michelle is amazing and I couldn’t recommend her more as a loving and reliable care taker for your pets!

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.
