Friendly Female Dog Lover❤️🐾

Pet care experience

I am a 31-year-old professional female who has taken care of dogs for more than 7 years. I have sat more than 48 dogs in New York City and am aware of particular preferences and needs. I love to provide a comfortable time and it is my personal passion to care for dogs. I am located in midtown Manhattan and happy to walk and run with them to Bryant Park and Madison Square Park to keep your dog healthy and active :) I am also happy to take photos of your dogs and send them to you while you are away. I am open and compassionate to understanding your preferences with your dog, and the diet they are following so that I can be attentive and careful to the dogs' schedule and lifestyle. As a responsible person, I will ensure your dog is safe and well taken care during the boarding time and returned to you safely.

Michelle is a great dog sitter! She is clearly a dog lover. Our dog is always very happy to see Michelle and spend time with her. She always sends updates along with pictures. Although Michelle couldn’t watch our dog the entire time we were gone last time, she was accommodating and took our dog to the boarder for the days we had scheduled and picked him up. We always return to a well kept home after Michelle stays. We will request Michelle anytime we need someone to stay with our fur baby.

DO NOT BOOK THIS SITTER! she had zero experience with cats. She left my cat unattended on a 24th floor balcony. Everytime i wrote her she made me feeli was disturbing her. She did not respond for hours. When she did finally respond she told me to be courteous that she needs 10 hours of sleep. She did not update me or send me pictures frequently. She sent the same picture two days in a row I don't even believe she stayed at my house she only pretended. She was scratched by my cat because she tries to pet her like a dog and made it as if it was the cat's fault. She made me pay for bandages when I have bandages and alcohol in the house she made me pay for her taxi rides and I felt as if it was borderline extortion. I was super nice to her because I was afraid she was going to harm my cat. She neglected my cat and didn't play with her or spend any time with her as we agreed upon. She is horrendous as a cat sitter please for the safety of your pet do not book this sitter. She didn't know what a hiss was, she asked if that was the cat throwing up. This is basic cat behavior. She ruined my vacation I was so worried the whole time especially when she did not update me and would not respond to my texts. She ignored my requests for a pic and only sent them hours later probably when she actually went to the house. When I got home there was food all over the floor litter box was full and the cat was out on the balcony. I am disgusted with this person. She's one of the people that is always the victim and everything is everyone else's fault. Do not book this person please.

Michelle was great! Our dog loved her. She took him on long walks and took good care of him. Our dog is known to get a little anxious, but he was very happy and comfortable with Michelle. We will definitely have her come stay again.

Michelle was great. Showed up on time, was super easy to communicate with over text, and was genuinely interested in hanging out with our pup. Thanks Michelle!
