Michelle is AMAZING! We have a pretty timid dog and she absolutely LOVES going to Michelle's house. Michelle is patient, kind and it's clear that her dogs love her. Now that I've found Michelle, there's nobody else we want watching our dog when we're out of town. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Schedule: I am home every day with the exception of daily dog walks, errand running, the gym, or doctor appts. Rarely out, and for no more than an hour or so. Why I do this: I dog sit full time because I love dogs. In 2001 I rescued a beautiful mutt from a kill shelter and she became the end all for me. I rescued and cared for other animals, but she had me for life. She passed away a few years ago at 16 years of age. Now, I have no pets, and so decided to devote myself to the care of others' pets. I love having the joy of caring for animals back in my life, while simultaneously giving your pet the attention and care it deserves when you need a little help.

A typical day

Typical day: Right now I am available to day-sit or board either 3 small dogs or 2 med dog a day. I will take your pet to visit the plethora of parks and beach fronts around my house, if they enjoy that sort of thing. I live within two miles of 6 fantastic parks (2 are dog parks specifically), 3 beach walking areas, and a nature preserve. If your pup loves the outdoors, I am familiar with all the aforementioned places and would love to show them around (weather permitting). Even without a pet, I walk these spots at least every other day. In addition I of course would provide pretty much nonstop petting and cuddling (provided they like that). :) Your preference is most important. Let me know what your pet likes. They will be allowed throughout the majority of the house, on my lap for petting of course, on one of my two couches, and can sleep either on the carpeted floor beside my bed or in their own area downstairs. In addition to going out for walks, we have a small side porch that is fully walled and some of the dogs I watch love to sit in a chair and soak up the sun out there.

Short Story: Two-story fenced house with no kids and no pets. Happy to take special needs dogs. I usually only take one client at a time (unless the dogs are compatible and the owners agree to mixing them, or if the dog needs to be socialized). No matter what you see on the calendar, feel free to message me with your request and, if your dog is compatible with whatever border I have, I'll be happy to try and assist you. All the details: Me: I grew up with an EMT mother who rescued people for work and rescued animals because she couldn't help herself. My rescue habit came directly from her. After being raised around animals of all types and providing care for them, I began rescuing and rehousing just about everything. Dogs constantly, cats occasionally, birds as needed, and last year I rehabilitated a baby squirrel when no shelter could take him because of COVID (legally and under licensed rehabber direction, for all you worriers out there). So, I am accustomed to animals as small as a squirrel and as large as a greyhound. My house: 2bd 2bth duplex. Gated front yard with a low fence, carpet upstairs, tile downstairs. Some people have asked...I do not have slick laminate floors anywhere in the home.
