Safety, trust & environment

🐾I have a big yard, a friendly neighborhood & a long trail is nearby where I can walk your dog & enjoy the outdoors along the river. Regardless if your dog has energy for days or is older & prefers to sleep on comfy blankets - my house can accommodate both types of dogs! I maintain a clean & safe environment & keep all dogs separated with having different areas for them but have playtimes with other dogs depending on their size & energy levels. I only care of pets under 40lbs & have indoor cameras to even watch when I’m away working & can ask someone to come right away if needed. I will maintain any schedule you have & will make sure your dog gets extra love during your time apart!🦴

Information Michelle C. would like to know about your pet

Is your pups profile updated? Potty trained? What commands does your pet know? Does your pet have a schedule for feeding - measurements for feeding & how often do you feed? Any allergies or health conditions? Medications? Separation anxiety? How long can your pet be left alone? Does your pet mark inside the home for territory? Chew on stuff? Any triggers I should know & how to handle those encounters? Anything else you think I should know that would be important & helpful? For their stay, could you please bring their essentials like your pet’s bed, blanket, toys, bowls, food, treats, leash & possibly a cage if have one. Thank you so much for booking with me! Don’t forget to input your reviews, I highly appreciate it! See you & your pup very soon! Thanks!!!

A typical day

?I like to play fetch with energetic dogs or just go for a walk enjoying the sun. I take all dogs on daily walks in the morning, afternoon & evening. I also have a screened back porch where I let them relax to enjoy the weather & outdoor view!?

Pet care experience

🐾Hello my name is Michelle! I’ve taken care of dogs for family & friends & have own dogs since a little girl! My goal is to make sure your dog enjoys their stay away from home & is as comfortable as possible!! I could also pick up/drop off your pet &/or bathe your pet to feel his/her best for an extra fee! Extra fee on injections or special treatment. Flexible w/times & whatever works for you. I focus on great communication; In their stay, I send pictures & make sure you're updated & aware of everything going on. I also provide overall report cards at the end of their stay and a complimentary homemade treat from “Michelle’s Pawsome Biscuits” for first time booking. Quality care is my top priority. I love referalls! $20 off for new clients on Rover on their fist time booking at https://www.rover.com/sit/michec07294

This was the first time Mia, our 14 year old pet, has ever spent the night away from family. I am thankful Mia was happy with her sitter, Michelle. Michelle sent us pictures and we were appreciative of how well Mia under the care of Michelle.

Michelle took really good care of our Nova. When picking Nova up she was really excited and I just knew she enjoyed her stay. She even met a new little friend. I'm excited to use Michelle again when needing to go out of town. I recommend anyone to book with her to care for your family's pet.
