Compassionate, Energetic Pet Lover

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 fantastic. Our doggy Sadie asked us if we could start going out so she can see her. I really appreciate how professional she is and cannot wait till she can doggy sit for us again. 😊

Michelle was an amazing sitter for Chance, she took the time to come meet him ahead of time and ask questions to make sure she could provide the best care for him. She was very communicative and provided updates and photos during her stay and made us feel confident leaving Chance in her care! Would 10/10 book again!

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.
