I’m an artist / graphic designer who works from home and have a flexible schedule. So please feel free to contact me any time for pet sitting. I’m available for drop-ins and dog walks most weekdays and evenings, and during the day most weekends. My latest evening visit time is 9pm. An occasional later visit time may be arranged if needed, for an extra fee.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m mainly doing drop-ins at this time. And dog walks around your neighborhood and nearby parks. If your pet does come to my home, I have a fenced back yard and my boyfriend’s Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog may sometimes be here to keep your dog company. There’s also an extra large pet crate inside that could be used by your dog if needed. At your home, I’ll care for your pets as you require. ** Please note: I always do an intro meet and greet before any new pet sitting visits and dog walks so the pets are familiar with me when I show up at your house to care for them when you’re not at home.
Information Michelle G. would like to know about your pet
If your pet has any special needs (dietary, medical or otherwise) please let me know. I will lovingly tend to them to the best of my ability. And I always like to have your vet and emergency contact info handy “just in case”. Please note: If your pet has any “accidents” such as pee, poop or barf on the floor (hard/wood/linoleum) I am happy to clean up provided appropriate cleaning materials have been made readily available. However, I do not clean carpets, rugs, furniture or bedding. Thank you!
A typical day
I want your dog to have fun when we’re together and look forward to our visits. We can play games like catch and tug or take a walk around your neighborhood.

Pet care experience
Hello! Animal person Michelle here. I’ve been caring for pets my whole life; can’t remember ever being without a dog, cat, bird (or all three) living with me. Nearly all were adoptees from a rescue shelter, such as PAWS (Progressive Animal Welfare Society) where I volunteered to foster parent cats. Currently living with me are four very lovey cats: Rudy, Bud, and Reba (a previously anti-social outdoor kitty who now enjoys getting my loves and cuddles)… and our latest addition, adorable Stormy, a kitten I was foster parenting and have now adopted! Also “Dog Mom” to an extra energetic Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog Ellie, a few days a week. My (our) pets’ health, safety, and happiness is a top priority for me. From researching the best foods, to keeping them entertained and active, to making sure they don’t play in the road, I care for them as respected members of my family. And you can rest assured that I will treat your fur babies as I do my own. While we’re hangin out, I’m happy to text you updates and photos as you like to help you feel good too. (I always find that reassuring whenever I have a pet sitter myself.) Check out my adorable goofballs and pet sitting friends in the photos section 😻😻😻😻🐶🐶🐶🐶
Reviews
Michelle took good care of my kitty and communicated well with me while we were away!
Michelle was excellent. She took Red on a long walk and kept me updated. Red got some great exercise and was very happy!
Michelle stayed in direct contact during our trip overseas and cared for our cat Cheetah, in home, exceedingly well. Did everything perfect without direction and even checked in on her off day. Thanks!!
Michelle was an AMAZING sitter for my cat Sable. She showed her above and beyond amounts of love and attention. I can’t recommend her enough… and there is a good chance Sable likes her more than me already 🤣
