Pet care experience

Reliable, kind and communicative

I would love to match your dogs energy, and get them out on walks or give them quiet hang time depending on what they need. I have owned mastiffs and high maintenance dogs, and my first jobs starting as a teenager was dogsitting. I am familiar with managing medications, and dogs with anxiety. I also work with horses and understand how to adjust to each animals needs.

Michelle did such a wonderful job watching Freya while I was away for work. Great communication, wonderfully accommodating and understanding when I completely forgot to pack Freya's food, and Freya LOVED being on the farm. She misses her horse friends already!

We have found it difficult to find people who can truly connect and care for our dog. Michelle was wonderful! She and our girl made an instant connection. We look forward to her love and attention in future stays!

Michelle was fantastic! Coco loved the farm; it's smells and all the new things to explore. Michelle was very accommodating to all of Coco needs, which we very much appreciated. We appreciated the daily pictures and updates, which reassured us that Coco was having a great time. We look forward to rebooking with Michelle.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received. From the moment we met, it was clear how attentive and genuinely kind she was with Roxy. We had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands

Michelle was very attentive to our two dogs and super communicative and flexible! She communicated me frequently with pictures and updates. She even noticed that my bulldog was licking his paws a lot, they flare up from time to time, and administered ointment to them and was great giving my other dog her medication too. We have a dog that is getting older and is picky with food and she was patient and got her to eat. Our flight was delayed getting back and she offered to stay overnight and/or later if needed. It really put my mind at ease and I loved that she was quick with texts and communication. I highly recommend Michelle as she kept my dogs active, engaged, cared for and sent adorable photos of them too!

Michelle did a fantastic job taking care of our two dogs in our home. I would recommend her without hesitation! I could tell our dogs clearly enjoyed their time with Michelle from the pictures she shared and everything at home was in great shape when we returned. I will definitely call her again!

Schedule

I work full time in office from 9 - 5, with the exception of one wfh day. A dog would need to be ok with some alone time during the work day but outside of work, I would give them all the time they need.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure a dogs needs are the priority. I know it can be stressful for a dog when their family is away, and it is important to make sure they have the attention they need to be comfortable and happy.

A typical day

I would make sure your dog is getting enough walk time in based on their energy and activity level. If you pup enjoys a car ride, I am happy to take them out and about.
