Reliable, kind and communicative

Pet care experience

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
