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! I’m also “Dog Mom” to my boyfriend’s extra energetic Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog Ellie, who stays at my house a few days a week. She’d love to have a play date with any dog who’s as fun-loving as she is! 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
Thank you so much Michelle for walking our two pups! They were so happy each day and we loved to see the pictures and read your descriptions of the day. We’ll definitely rebook in the future!
Michelle took great care of our dog, Lemmy. She provided daily updates and even gave us daily updates with pictures. Thanks Michelle!
Michelle took great care of our 2 shy kitties. She was great with communicating with us also. Would hire her again!
Michelle is very reliable, friendly and great at communicating! We will definitely be hiring her again for our next trip. We especially loved all of the photos that she took of our pets and a detailed description of events that took place during her drop in visit 😊

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”. 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.

Availability
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.
