I am currently at home full time. I regularly take walks to get out of the house and would love to have a companion join me! I love animals and couldn’t imagine spending my day in a better way than with them! I do have my own cat which means for multi day jobs I would occasionally want to visit her (my partner is there to care for her) but I am available to spend majority of the time at a clients home.

I have a fenced back yard for your animal to run around in. I would keep your pet in the living room and kitchen are with me while I leave the bedrooms for my cat. I love going on walks so I will be more than happy to take your dogs out with me ( no dog parks or off leash areas).

Pet care experience

Hello! I am an animal lover who has recently relocated to the SD area. I regularly have sat for family, friends, and word of mouth recommendations for over a decade. I have cared for pets as small as tree frogs to a home with multiple large pit bull mixes, to a diabetic cat in need of insulin injections twice a day. Whatever type of pet you have I promise to love them as much as I love my own!

Needing to find someone on short-notice, Michelle came through with the assist! First time booking with her, yet already can sense the reliability, communication and care that gives peace of mind when having to be away. Elli and I both really appreciate you taking her out for her midday potty break - thanks again!

Michelle did a great job caring for my cats. They were clearly very comfortable with her and I would not hesitate to rebook in the future!

Michelle did a great job with our babies! She was timely, thoughtful, and thorough. Our girls loved her, and we would hire her again in a heartbeat.
