About Michelle F.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a Rat Terrier who gets a long with all dogs, he loves to play but is pretty respectful of dogs who are not into it. Dogs have free rein of my house. I spend a good amount of time with them outside in the yard, they are never let out without supervision.

Information Michelle F. would like to know about your pet
I am open to most special needs situations but advanced knowledge is essential, especially for any behavioral concerns. I have experience walking dogs who pull or react to other animals but for the safety of me and your dog, it's important to tell me right off the bat.
A typical day
Walks are a must, as is playtime (tug-o-war, fetch, etc). We enjoy outdoor time in the yard and have easy access to potty area for puppies & seniors who need more frequent access! When possible, I like to do trips to the park or beach for a change of smells and scenery.

Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Michelle. Over the years I’ve raised and trained many of my own pets and regularly dog sit for all of my family. I currently have one dog, a Rat Terrier named Memo. He is high energy but he's a happy boy and has the best temperament. For housesitting, please be advised that I will be bringing Memo to stay with me at your home. If you want to see more of my cutie, check out his bio. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, from playful puppies who need extra attention and playtime to older dogs who just need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs of all sizes. That includes 'pullers' and/or dog reactive from my experience walking dogs at shelters. Here are a few things I’m happy to help with: • Walks, playtime, and activities that keep your dog active and engaged • Puppy guidance and reinforcement of training routines if requested • Patient care for senior dogs or pets with special needs (including administering medications) • Flexible scheduling when possible • Pick up/Drop off within 5 miles of my house. (Main & Civic Center in Santa Ana) • Grooming (only the basics: bathing, drying, brushing.) Price depends on size and length of fur. Sorry, no nail trims. • Dependable care with the same love and attention I give my own dog. (Snuggling always included!) I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet to meet you and your pet!
Reviews

Michelle was a fantastic sitter for George! George has complicated dietary needs due to his GI problems. He is also an anxious pup and stays nervous when away from home. Despite it all, Michelle and Memo made George’s stay so comfortable! I could tell from photos he settled in quickly and attribute that to Michelle’s great care. I was also indecisive about pick up times but Michelle stayed flexible throughout it all. Bonus: she got George and Memo matching jerseys to watch World Cup games together! Way too cute

Michelle is awesome! She took great care of Eiffel and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. I could tell Eiffel was happy, comfortable, and well cared for! I had peace of mind knowing Eiffel was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter! Thank you Michelle!
Michelle is an amazing caring pet sitter. She has taken care of our pets for a few years when we go on vacation. They are always happy and content when we get home. She takes them on walks and keeps them well fed. I would definitely keep her as a caregiver for my furbabies.
Michelle is great! She often watches our pups when we travel. We have a senior dog who needs medications. She's even watched our boys while our lab was recovering from TPLO surgery when we had to go out of town for a funeral. We never have to worry about how they are doing. We know they are in good hands.
