Michelle was amazing with our dog and made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She was incredibly caring and attentive, and it was clear our dog was very comfortable with her. We would definitely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter, and we would absolutely book with her again!

Reese had another great sleepover weekend with Auntie Michelle!! Michelle always takes great care of Reese; she treats him as if he were her own! We never have a moments worry or concern when Reese is with Michelle. We get daily updates and pics of their activities, which gives us great comfort knowing Reese is being well cared for and loved.

A most loving and attentive sitter, Michelle looks after everything and treats our dog as if she were her own. I feel at peace knowing that our dog will be happy, comfortable and less anxious when staying with her. Michelle provides regular updates and photos, which warms my heart knowing that my dog is in the best hands.

We are so fortunate to have matched with Michelle! She not only watches Reese, she is active with him everyday, long walks, teaching him tricks, and giving belly scratches! For this visit, Michelle gave extra attention to Reese giving him medication, observing diet restrictions until Reese was on the mend. Michelle cares for Reese as if he were her own and, because of this, we were able to travel knowing that Reese was going to be well cared for and be nursed back to health. Michelle will always be our first choice!

I welcome all types of dogs in a calm environment. I use positive reinforcement with treats, praise, or toys—rewarding desired behaviors, to building trust with patience, and fostering lasting behavioral changes.
