Animals are my people.
Pet care experience
There are cheaper alternatives, so... Why choose me? Ever since I can remember, I've had an unexplainable connection to, understanding of and appreciation for animals (and all living creatures in general). Regardless of species, I have always considered (and will forever consider) them equals in a world that tends to consider them less-than. Whole-hearted compassion and genuine respect for the vulnerability and importance of all living creatures stems from my very core and extends naturally into every aspect of my life. It sounds corny, but it's true! To further ease the minds of my clients, I've completed Rover's Enhanced Background Check, hold a Certification in Pet First Aid (dogs and cats, specifically), am a proud member of the Pet Professional Guild. As a pet mom myself, I understand that a significant amount of trust is required between parent and sitters. That trust is something a lot of sitters don't/won't even acknowledge, let alone take seriously. Trust is dang hard to come by, must be earned and weighs a *ton* in my book. That being said, choosing me has always (and will always) come with Peace of Mind. Knowing with *absolute certainty* that your pet is in the very best hands is priceless -- and it's included organically for every client. Every time. Always. ...and that's a promise. Scheduling: I'm happy to accept bookings for any/every day of the week, any time of day (third-shift included) for any length of time! My scheduling calendar provides clients with my availability in real time, so if the time slot is listed as being open, it's all yours! Also, in the event the time frame you require is listed as being unavailable/filled, just reach out and I'll do my best to squeeze you in. I'm fully committed to doing whatever it takes in order to provide your furry family member(s) with the care you expect/they deserve. Solely to help ease the underlying stress and anxiety of your pet while you're away, I provide all services directly within and around the pet's home and neighborhood. Special, "familiar location" requests (i.e. Dog Parks, Edgewater, etc.) are also welcome, so long as the destination is within 5 miles of your home (weather permitting).

Special, "familiar location" requests (i.e. Dog Parks, Edgewater, etc.) are also welcome, so long as the destination is within 3 miles of your home (weather permitting).
Information Michelle D. would like to know about your pet
Please, tell me all about your pet! Getting to know them, in my opinion, is a requirement and part of the process in terms of respecting the animal in general. Whether it be special needs, absolute "dos-or-do-nots", a funny story or a unique request, I'm all ears!
A typical day
Long walks, short walks, stimulating play involving toys or random challenges, relaxed chill-time, cuddles, simply co-existing or meaningful conversation.. You name it, we'll get it done!
