Safety, trust & environment

I keep their routine and what they are used to. I will give lots of love and attention. If they are cuddlers we will cuddle. If they like to play we will play.

Information Michelle G. would like to know about your pet

Name, breed, energy level. Do they like attention or are they stand off ish. How well trained are they. None of those affect whether I would take dog. Dogs sometimes need time to warm up to someone. No breed preference. I like all dogs.

A typical day

Depending on the dog and their routine I try to keep that routine. If a dog is used to a walk we will take a walk. If they like to fetch we will play fetch.

Very experienced, loves all pets

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting since I was 15 years old. I started with a cat for my high school teacher. I then have taken care of llamas, donkeys, and a variety of dogs, cats, chickens and other types of animals. Most of my pet sitting has been through word of mouth. To this day I still pet sit for someone I started with 25 years ago. I have been with her through llamas and her breeding dogs. I love all animals big and small. Pets are family and I treat them that way. I am compassionate and caring. I do work in a memory care facility as the Executive Director where I can make my hours are a little flexible, to allow me caring for your pet. I work full time as a resident care coordinator in memory care m-f typically from 8:30-4:30, with flexibility. I can do before and after and anytime on weekends. I care for pets like they are my own. They are family members. I try to keep their routine. I try my best not to disrupt their environment.

Michelle was great with our Australian shepherd! She was able to win him over and they had a lovely time. Our house was clean and as we left it for her. I highly recommend her!

Michelle watched our dog and cat for a weekend on pretty short notice. She clearly loves animals and sent pictures every day while we were gone. She also left the house super clean and even took our trash cans to the street for us. Would definitely love to have her watch them again.

Michelle was awesome. We had a last minute family emergency and we needed a pet sitter ASAP. Michelle responded very fast and even made time to come over before we left to get a walkthrough. One of our dogs is still learning not to jump up or nibble and she was very patient with him. We will definitely request her help in the future.
