Pet care experience

I am home full-time (and my husband works from home 4 days a week) to love on your pet. We have 2 dogs but no children in the house. If your dog suffers from separation anxiety, you can know they will never be left alone. We have a large screened porch if your pooch loves the outdoors but likes the security of people close by. We walk our dogs multiple times a day in a quiet, safe neighborhood with sidewalks and a greenway as well as parks nearby. If your dog likes being indoors, they have their roam of the house to get comfortable and I’ll provide lots of cuddle time if needed. I have had cats and dogs all my life. I have cared for family and friends pets as well as helping my boys when they had a pet sitting service during their teen years. I am very comfortable administering oral medication and injections.

Michelle has been very helpful and so kind to my Zoë. Today specifically Michelle went earlier than originally scheduled and did an hour visit with her while I had a ten hour work shift. Very accommodating, helpful, kind and reliable.

The absolute best. Both Sassy and I Michelle and her husband. It’s like home away from home and Sassy loves their dogs.

Sassy was clean and happy and clearly spoiled when I picked her up. I love it when I Michelle keeps her because I know she's one of the family.
