I work from home as an RN. This gives me a lot of flexibility. I go for walks at least daily. Having a dog (or cat) to walk with encourages me. I love animals.

Michelle has been terrific with my three dogs, aching, Charles, chocolate lab and golden retriever. Michelle does an excellent job of making sure the dogs are fed on schedule, walked on schedule and take their medications. Our dogs are always happy to see michelle which gives us peace of mind on that they are safe and well taken care of. Michelle is also super helpful with taking care of the little things around the house by grabbing our mail and packages and keeping an eye on the trash days. We find Michelle to be trustworthy, professional and not all-around good person. We would highly recommend working with Michelle for dog sitting and housesitting.

Michelle was so great handling our pack of dogs. We have all large dogs and one with an attitude. She prepared their meals twice daily (they are on raw so it’s a process), made sure the attitude one was separated from the rest and they all got equal love. We came home and our dogs were so happy and even waited at the door when she left. Michelle will always be our first and only choice when taking the family with us isn’t an option. She even left us a fresh made focaccia bread to enjoy when we got home!!!!

Michelle recently cared for 4 of my 7 dogs while also keeping an eye on my home, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Anyone who has multiple dogs knows they each have their own personalities, routines, and needs, and she handled all of them with patience, love, and attention to detail. I had complete peace of mind while I was away knowing they were in her care. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when I returned home. Michelle is dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely loves animals. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.

Michelle has been an absolutely wonderful dog sitter for my dogs, Mocha and Luci. She is reliable, caring, and treats them like her own. I always feel completely at ease knowing they are in her hands. Mocha and Luci are happy, comfortable, and well cared for whenever Michelle watches them. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.
