Loving Care for your Fur Babies

Pet care experience

I'm an animal lover and former pet owner that misses having one (or two) Fur Babies of my own. I’d be delighted to care for yours when you can't (while you are on vacation, at work, or taking care of other things that life throws at you). I have cared for dogs for over 20 years and love doggies of all shapes, sizes, energy levels and personalities. I am available for overnight care, scratches, snuggles, walks, fetch, Frisbee throwing, doggie park visits, play dates...whatever your 4-legged fur babies need. :) I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs having cared for my own epileptic dog for over 7 years. I will find out as much as I can about your dog's personality, preferences, and routines so that I can provide the love and care they're used to. I can’t promise that I won’t get attached and want to come back another time. I have many repeat fur friends, and I really love when we get to spend time together.

Michelle is fabulous! We have had mixed luck with Rover and leaving the pups always gives us anxiety not knowing how it will go (they can be a handful!) but Michelle immediately put us at ease. She was very attentive and communicative, sending daily updates and followed all of our instructions perfectly. She left the house spotless and we can tell our pups got lots of attention.

Michelle was the best sitter we have ever used. She went above and beyond and caring for my pets. She made sure they knew her well and love and loved her.
