Pet care experience

Trustworthy, Loving Pet Care!

With 25 years of experience in pet care, I bring a deep understanding of animals’ needs and an unwavering love for their well-being. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with three amazing cats, each of whom taught me the profound bond we can share with our pets. While their short lifespans have led me to focus more on pet-sitting now, my commitment to providing a safe, loving environment for all pets remains strong. I understand how much these companions mean to you, and I treat each one with the same care and affection I would my own.

Michelle and her family took really great care of our Fiona! She definitely enjoyed her time there especially with the kids! Michelle provided photos and updates on Fiona’s seven day boarding and was super easy to reach to for any questions we may have. Thank you Michelle and family for giving our Fiona the extra love, care, and attention while we were away ❤️

Michelle was awesome! I was nervous about leaving my dog in a boarding facility since I had only adopted Peggy from a rescue a few months ago. Michelle gave her a warm, home-like environment where I knew she was safe and well cared for while my family was on vacation. She sent daily updates, took great care of Peggy, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was out of town. Michelle was also incredibly responsive both before and after the booking, which made the entire experience stress-free. I'm extremely grateful for her help and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!

Michelle’s place is perfect for cats - lots of sunlight, windows, etc. Her sons were also very gentle with my cat.

Just perfect. Michelle has a lovely home with a nice park and lake area in the backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Very safe area well away from roads. Michelle communicated very well, sent photos and updates, and was completely flexible with drop off and pickup times. Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.

Schedule

We have a family of three boys, the two older ones are in love with being able to have new dogs to pet! I am currently working full time, and my husband is home with our baby. My middle son has reached that age of being a ‘big helper’ with the pets we have been sitting. He loves helping me feed them and walk them. But especially, he loves to pet them!
