Loving, attentive, fully vaccinated

Pet care experience

I’m definitely an animal person and always have been. Right now I don't have pets of my own, and would love the opportunity to make sure your fur babies are loved and well cared for while you are away. I have experience caring for pets of all types - from labs, great danes and greyhounds to french bulldogs and terriers, from 2 week old kittens to full grown cats.. chickens, rabbits, even alpaca! I love being outdoors - hikes, beach trips and more, and love taking dogs with me on outdoor adventures. Playing in the sunshine until everyone is nice and tired, and then enjoying some cuddles together at home sounds like a perfect day to me. I am an attentive caregiver and have experience following specific instructions, however you'd like your fur baby to be cared for. ( I even have experience administering medications to pets.) Looking forward to meeting and seeing if I am a good fit for your family! I am super respectful of owners and how they run their households, will always adjust to house rules and be respectful of your space. Love being outside with any and all pets.

Michelle was kind, easy to work with and took excellent care of our cat while we were away. Thank you Michelle!

Michelle watched our house and pets during a recent trip. She loves animals and is responsible and easy to communicate with. We have already booked her for future trips. Highly recommend her!

Michelle is great with our 70lb lab mix. She's attentive, caring, and handled our dog's boundless energy with ease. If your pet(s) like exploring outdoors, Michelle is your person. She'll keep a close eye on them and take them on long walks.

Okay, I just wrote a testimonial for Michelle's sister Sarah and posted it here. I've also used Michelle for pet sitting and house sitting. She's was great with my dog and cats. She was responsible and followed the guidelines for each animal. I tend to get carried away about how I like everything done and she did it all the way I wanted. I would definitely use her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I would care for your fur babies in my home just as though they were my own - with the utmost care. I do have one inside cat at my home, but he is very good with all other animals.

Information Michelle D. would like to know about your pet

I'd love for you to let me know if your pet has any special needs or medical history that I should be aware of. I love to know their vet's information/emergency protocol that you'd like me to follow - just to be on the safe side. (I'm sure everything will be fine, I just like to be prepared). Do they play well with other animals?

A typical day

Near my house there are plenty of big parks, nature trails, and a nearby creek to explore. I also love playing with animals when we're in the house or just in my big backyard. I love to hike and have beach trips! So if your pup is up for that, I'd love to tire them out on grand adventures. If not, exploring the neighborhood is just fine too.
