Michelle was wonderful with Lily! She stayed at our home for 2.5 days and took great care of her, following all instructions and making sure Lily was comfortable and happy. I felt at ease knowing Lily was in such good hands.

Michelle took care of Lily as if it was her own! She was on time, provided pictures, feedback and followed all my instructions.

Michelle was fantastic with our golden doodle Lily, staying overnight and taking care of her while we were away! She was on time, very quick to reply, took pics of Lily and kept me updated thru the day! Lily loved her so much! Thank you again!

Michelle is great with our dogs and loves them like her own pet! She’s great with keeping me updated about my dogs as well after each walk. Highly recommend her with all your pet needs.

I currently work as a softball coach so I am typically not available on Tuesdays or Thursdays past 5pm. Additionally, I have tournaments on the weekends which make me unavailable most weekends. But this all means that I would love to work for you during the day while you’re at work or just need a break!
