Pet care experience
Hi, I am 54 with over 3 decades of care experience. I have a BA from Florida Atlantic University, and I have been operating a pet sitting; eldercare; & home care service for 30 years in the Tampa Bay area. I formerly worked with foster children and disabled adults as a respite provider for the state of Maine prior to moving to St. Petersburg. I have cared for Dogs, Cats, Birds, Turtles, Rabbits, Chickens, Fish and a Potbelly pig. Until finding Rover, I worked strictly by referral from clients and friends. I am semi retired but teach yoga twice a week. I am otherwise free to pet sit almost anytime. I own a home with a fenced yard for Boarding and Doggy Daycare. When BOARDING THE 2ND DOG IS ALWAYS FREE per 24 hour period. Occasionally there will be a small add on fee for special circumstances like medical care. I am experienced in medication administration and have handled emergency vet visits for senior dogs and hospice dogs. We always had pets growing up and they added so much to our family life. In 1993 I began pet sitting professionally shortly after I moved to Florida. I have been a foster home for a local Dachshund rescue group and have volunteered for various rescue events. In 2002 I adopted two rescue dachshunds, my Wiener-daughters, Dottie and Sara. They have since passed, but I now have 2 other dachshunds named Allagash and Ebeemee. I know your pets are family and I will treat them like my own. You can rest assured that your pets will be well taken care of while you are away. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies soon.

Thank you Michelle! You took such good care of my Kobi. So glad to have found someone I can trust to care for him while I’m away!
Michelle did a wonderful job! I wouldn't hesitate to book her for taking care of my animals again!
Thank you!
Michelle was great with Foxy! Next time I’m in the area, I would absolutely take my dog back to her.

In addition to the the large fenced yard for play, dogs are allowed on my couch. If needed I can separate dogs with crates or gates. Owners preferences are always respected.

Information Michelle G. would like to know about your pet
I like to meet your furbabies before I sit for them. It's important to know their background and health concerns. Emergency contacts and vet info is a must! I have no preferences on breeds, there are no "bad" breeds.
A typical day
I provide Boarding & Daycare. I have a large fenced yard for playtime and fetch. My dogs love to play wth my guests. Little dogs get plenty of "lap time" while we watch movies.
