I live in a 2-bedroom first floor condo that is nestled right in the middle of an older neighborhood off Harpersville Road. There is a large field for walking your dog right next to my building and I enjoy walking them in the neighborhood as well. I’m all about the snuggles so your pet is more than welcome to cuddle up on the couch and/or sleep on the bed with me. If you prefer, they can also sleep in their crate. I look forward to meeting you and your pet to see if we are compatible and if I can meet your pet’s needs. Thank you for the taking the time to read my profile. Have a pawsitively great day!

Information Michelle H. would like to know about your pet

My baby had with diabetes and I had to administer insulin via injection to him twice a day. I'm also comfortable providing oral medications to your pets.

Pawsitively Love Pets

Pet care experience

I had various animals growing up and my love for them has exponentially grown into my adult life. I love all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs. Twelve years ago, I adopted a 7-month-old beagle/Walker hound mix and named him Dude. He was very anxious and required a lot of TLC to warm up to me. Over the next several months, he and I became inseparable. When he was about 7 years old, he developed diabetes and I had to administer insulin via injection to him twice a day. About 6 months ago, I had to say goodbye to my best friend, and it just hasn’t been the same since. Taking care of people and pets is what I was put on this earth to do. I adore them and will give them my full attention. I pride myself on treating your animals as I treat my own. My goal is to make sure your pet enjoys their stay away from home and is just as comfortable in my home as he/she is in your home. I provide regular updates and pictures/videos to keep you informed and to set your mind at ease about your pet’s care.

Michelle was so good to my kitty and very sweet.My kitty is afraid of most people.She didn’t seem afraid of Michelle at all .She actually rubbed up on her when she came by.I definitely recommend Michelle as a pet sitter.I will definitely ask her to watch Mojito again when I go away .

Michelle was wonderful. She worked with me as my schedule fluctuated and even contacted customer service on my behalf when I accidentally double booked my reservation! Always on time and everything I asked of her was done every time. Highly recommended!
