Highlights
Pet care experience
My experience is your pets security
Having begun walking neighborhood dogs as a teenager, I have plenty of experience. I am an avid researcher into positive training methods, and have wanted to work with dogs since I was a child. I currently work only a few hours a week in Retail, and volunteer at the humane society. I have taken and received certification for fear free handling of pets in the shelter environment- a transferable skill for kennelling In my off time, I’m working with my own dog, who I have trained from puppyhood.
Cat care experience
Michelle also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
As to cats, I have raised two kittens. One lived to 9 before the cancer. One is still growing strong. Matt is my senior boy, whom I have had for 12 years now.
Ratings and reviews
We had a wonderful experience with Alessandra! She took excellent care of our dog, Stark, while we were away. From the very beginning, she was kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. What we appreciated most was her communication. Alessandra sent us plenty of photos and regular updates throughout Stark’s stay, which gave us great peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing he was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was clear that Stark received lots of attention, affection, and care. He looked comfortable, relaxed, and happy, which speaks volumes about the environment Alessandra provides. We are incredibly grateful for her dedication and would not hesitate to trust her with Stark again. We highly recommend Alessandra to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. Thank you, Alessandra, for taking such great care of Stark!

Michelle and Family are amazing hosts. Jia loves stay at their place. Thanks for accommodating Jia in the last minute and making sure she had good walks and a nice time. Will visit again.🙂
Michelle is amazing, caring the pets , sharing updates via photos, understanding what Jia needed and making sure she has a great stay. We had Jia stay with Michelle for 3 days when we were out for vacation. We were able to leave Jia under her wonderful care and not worry about her. She is amazing
Michelle has always been a big time dog lover and really enjoys dog walking and training. We have had many long walks with our combined pack of five dogs, four 80lb dogs and my 40lb pack leader either of us could easily walk all five dogs in one hand. Michelle has a shepherd and did have a lab that she rescued with lots of issues, not socialized with other people and aggressive towards other dogs and also afraid of traffic, crowds and noise but raised him to be a really good dog. She has lots of patience with dogs and is really good a training them including socializing them. Michelle often looks after my dogs, usually for the day and loves to do training with them
