Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Michelle, and I'm a professional pet sitter and dog walker with over 17 years of experience. I've always had a love for animals, and I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and trustworthy to take care of your furry family members while you're away. I started my first pet sitting business when I was 11, and I haven’t stopped since! I've taken care of many different kinds of animals, from tiny hedgehogs to large Great Danes, so one might call me a pet enthusiast of sorts :)
Reviews
Michelle has been great to work with watching our dog the last few weeks. Very easy to communicate with, accommodating, and sends great update’s throughout her stay.
Michelle is the absolute best! She took great care of our little Haiku and was very communicative! Would 100% recommend!
Michele is a wonderful sitter! Felix loved her and her dog Mango. Lots of love, toys, walks and exercise time. He didn't want to leave. Definitely will use her again.
I’m so grateful for Michelle! She has walked our dog many times and is always very communicative and sends detailed recaps and pics. Our dog loves to see her every time and I can tell Michelle truly cares about her!
About Michelle G.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a pet friendly townhome that has multiple dog proof balconies for sun bathing and dog parks as well as many dog relief areas. I live very close to Tom Lasseter Park so that’s often a stop on our walks. Your pup is allowed to sleep in my room for maximum comfort and security. My clients can feel rest assured that I do not board more than one pet (or group of pet siblings) at a time. I have a friendly and playful toy poodle that would love to meet your pup! My pet is up to date on vaccinations. When house sitting I will not only take care of your pets, but I will also take care of your home. I'll make sure your plants are watered, your mail is collected, and your home is secure while you're away.
Home
Information Michelle G. would like to know about your pet
I encourage every client to schedule a meet and greet consultation. During this time I'll get to know your baby, asking about their daily schedule, behaviors to encourage and discourage, play preferences and health needs. Let me know if you have any special requests for your pets. My pets are up to date on vaccinations and I hope yours are too :)
A typical day
Pets who stay with me will have lots of options when it comes to fun. On nice days I take pups for walks around the lake or to St.Edwards University. If it’s not so nice out, the pups can still walk around the covered hallways of my complex. I have two XL heated blankets that make the perfect cuddle spots on the couch or bed. Kitties will get head scratches, treats and playtime with the wand toy.

Availability
I offer a range of services, including boarding, house sitting, drop-ins, daycare, walks/playtime, and basic grooming. I can also administer medication if needed, and I always keep a close eye on your pets' health and behavior. I pride myself on reliable and frequent communication and a service with me will include lots of pictures, videos and updates. Because I am only a pet sitter I can completely tailor my schedule to your pets' personalities for a custom, one of a kind experience. Energetic young dog? Let’s take a long walk and throw the ball. Lap cat? Let’s cuddle and watch movies. Old cranky dog? Let’s set him up a private special bed that he can come and go to as he pleases. Nothing makes me happier than a happy pet. For pets that need constant care (due to separation anxiety or a medical reason), I offer an hourly rate that makes sure I can give them the full attention they need without having to attend to other clients.
