Your Dog’s New Best Friend!

Pet care experience

I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and well-cared for—because I’ve been exactly where you are. As a lifelong dog lover and former pet owner, I provide reliable, compassionate care that gives you complete peace of mind. What makes my service different: • Treats your pet like family - Your dog receives the same attention, snuggles, playtime, and walks I’d give my own • Flexible & responsive - Available for last-minute bookings and happy to accommodate your schedule • Clear communication - Regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is thriving • Follows instructions carefully - I respect your pet’s routine, dietary needs, and house rules • Experience with all breeds - From high-energy Labs to gentle seniors, small breeds to large dogs My Background: I grew up surrounded by dogs and have hands-on experience caring for Yellow Labs, Chocolate Labs, Golden Retrievers, and Cocker Spaniels. My first dog was a rescue Lab—energetic, fun-loving, and the best teacher I could have asked for. This experience taught me patience, dedication, and how to handle dogs with different personalities and needs. Services I Offer: • Dog walking (30 or 60-minute walks tailored to your dog’s energy level) • Drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks • Pet sitting in your home or mine • Oral medication administration • Puppy care and senior dog care Why I Love Working with Dogs: Dogs have been my passion since childhood. There’s nothing more rewarding than earning a pet’s trust and seeing them happy and relaxed in my care. Whether it’s an energetic walk through the neighborhood or a quick check-in during your workday, I treat every dog as an individual with unique needs and personality, ensuring they feel loved and secure.

Michelle has excellent communication skills which is so important when you have to leave your fur baby! She was kind, thoughtful, Played and loved our golden, and made sure everything was left exactly as we had left it. Michelle even brought in our chewy box that arrived while she as here.

Michelle was fantastic! I always have anxiety about leaving my fur babies with sitters. Michelle put all of anxiety at ease. I got daily pictures and updates. My doggos always looked happy, content, and well cared for, and that's all I could hope. She followed the dogs routine, and I think they enjoyed having a friend come over. I will definitely be using Michelle again!
