Safety, trust & environment

Caring for your pet will be an extension of my compassion and love as if caring for my own pets. Allowing me to care for your pets in their own home, I feel lessens the stress you have while being away from them.

Information Michelle H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs. Medications, health concerns, anxiety, loud noises, food allergies. Are there certain commands that you use for your dog. I will take notes and follow your instructions. I prefer to meet you and your furbabies before the actual day of pet sitting. I want you to feel comfortable before scheduling.

A typical day

I’m a very active person. Would be more than happy to take your dogs for their routine walks. Play with them with what toys they are used to playing with, tennis balls, frisbee, kiddie pools. If your furbaby likes to relax on the couch, and just have a friend to sit next to them, I’m happy to spend time giving them scratches and belly rubs.

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs and various animals all my life. Having my own large breed dogs, German Shepherds for the last 24 years and working in a Veterinarian office for the last 8 years has given me more experience than I could have imagined. I love seeing dogs comfortable and enjoying their environment and having someone come take care of them at their own house is how I would want my own dogs to be taken care of. I am comfortable giving medications by mouth, as I have my own special needs dogs at home that require medications every 12 hours. I trim nails, clean ears.

Michelle is amazing! She went above and beyond to ensure my dogs had a great experience with her as well as making me feel so comfortable about leaving them in her care! I would highly recommend Michelle to everyone!

Michelle was amazing with our dogs! They were nervous since it was the first time we left them - and so was I! Michelle did great getting them to warm up and even shoveled spaces for them in the middle of our most recent blizzard so they could go outside. I trusted Michelle in our home and would have her back again without a second thought.

We couldn’t be happier with our weekly visits by Michelle! Our dogs love their time playing, being outside, and going for walks. We highly recommend working with Michelle for your pets, she’s the best!
