Pet care experience
I have always loved animals, but I definitely have a special fondness for dogs. I have an almost 11 year old Yorkshire Terrier who I have had since he was a few months old. My dog Sebastian is the best part of my day. I have my Bachelor's degree in Animal Science. While I am not planning to pursue veterinary school any longer, I still love working with and around animals. I also volunteered at the Irvine Animal Care Center for two years during high school. I have experience handling, socializing, and feeding cats and dogs from the animal shelter as well as my lab classes in college. I also have administered oral medication to my own dog. I am more than happy to update you on how your fur kid is doing with pictures and status updates. I work from 5-8 AM and I go back to that same job later from 6-9 PM, but I am available the rest of the time. I am reliable and I will definitely make sure your fur kid is well taken care of and treat him/her like my own! I do ask to meet with you before to make sure we are a good fit and your dog(s) feel comfortable with me.
Reviews
Michelle watched our doberman Hank for a long weekend and she was wonderful! This was our first time away from him after he had a really bad experience in the care of another pet sitter so I was incredibly nervous to leave him again. Michelle was great about listening to all of my instructions and made me feel comfortable that everything was going to be just fine. She checked in frequently while we were gone and sent pictures so we knew Hank was being well taken care of. The house was perfectly clean when we got home and Hank was happy and healthy! I highly recommend Michelle. She’ll take good care of your pets and your home! We have already booked her for a future stay.
Michelle is amazing! When she sits for my dog, she really cares. She is friendly and reliable. Michelle always follows all the directions I provide for her and makes sure that my dog is fed and walked daily. She gives me updates through messages sends me photos to let me know how everything is going. My pup loved Michelle and was very well accommodated for. Definitely a great pet sitter!

I firmly believe that active pets are happy pets. I will make sure your dog is walked often and I will happily play fetch or tug of war with a rope. Because dogs are social creatures, I will try to be around them as often as possible and give them well-deserved attention. I allow my dog on the furniture on the couch but not on any beds, but I will discuss with you where your dog is allowed to be. I also try not to feed my dog from my own plate as that encourages begging so I will more than likely not do that with your dog as well.
