Highlights
Pet care experience
Years of Care, Tons of Love
As a true animal lover, I’ve owned and cared for everything from horses and dogs to hamsters and snakes—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My goal is to form a meaningful connection with every pet, built on mutual respect and plenty of love. I’ll keep their daily routine intact, from feedings and outings to medications, belly rubs, and training, so they feel just as comfortable under my care as they do under yours. I treat pets like family. If your pet is allowed on the couch or bed, I’m happy to curl up beside them for snuggles. If not, I’ll follow your household rules exactly—it’s all about consistency, comfort, and making sure they feel at home. Communication is one of my strengths. I send regular updates with photos and little stories so you’ll always know how your pet is doing, and I take care to leave your home just as I found it. My clients say that gives them true peace of mind while they’re away. Even if you’re outside my listed travel radius, feel free to reach out! A small gas fee can usually make it possible for me to come to you.

Safety, trust & environment
Before caring for pets in their own homes, I learn from you what a typical day looks like for them and then follow that routine closely. Meals, potty breaks, walks, and snuggles all happen on schedule, with updates sent along the way so you always know your pet is happy and cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Michelle was great! Went above and beyond. Will book again :)
Michelle was great with Sydney and a very good house sitter. She kept us informed of how Syd was doing and did an exceptional job of her meds and shots. We recommend her highly.
Michelle was amazing! We highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again...we appreciated her professionalism and her communication while she house/dog sat our fur babies.❤️ Our dogs looked so happy in all the photos she sent us; and when we returned home it was clear that they had had a wonderful few days. Thanks, Michelle!!
Best dog sitter we ever had. So happy to have found Michelle. One of our dogs doesn’t like anyone but loved Michelle!
There aren’t sufficient words to describe how grateful we are for finding Michelle - like most, our furbabies are beloved members of the family - like finding a babysitter or nanny, it can be unsettling to entrust the care of your loved ones to a stranger, even more so when they stay in your own home… not only did Michelle spend 2 hours during our meet and greet getting acclimated with our home and the history of each pet but also bonding with all of the furbabies so they were quite familiar with her when she would arrive to sit and we wouldn’t be there for introductions … throughout the time they were under her care she reached out with updates and photos… she was not only responsible for keeping our dogs out of mischief during our absence but also administering medication to our 19 year old cat… it was the 1st time we were away, overnight, from the “kids” and Michelle was a blessing - her care went over and beyond any expectations we might have had - i highly recommend Michelle and cannot give her enough praise or kudos for all that she did
Michelle is fantastic! She asked great questions during the meet and greet and the pets adored her immediately. My scaredy cat even managed to not hide the entire time. 😊 She also left the house in excellent condition, which was so nice to come home to. I highly recommend Michelle for in home pet sitting. Or anything else, really. Thank you Michelle!

Pet care is my passion and my full-time job — lucky me! Every day is filled with wagging tails, happy paws, snuggles, and lots of love.

- Is there anything I wouldn’t already know that could affect your pet’s safety or comfort? Please share any medical needs, allergies, quirks, fears, or habits—like if they’re nervous around new people, reactive on leash, or prone to slipping out doors. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can prevent problems and keep your pet happy and safe.
