Love helping a dog lover in need!
Pet care experience
I have rescued two dogs, a golden retriever/lab and a border collie/lab, 12 years and 6 years old. I have fostered one pitbull and periodically helped friends in the area with drop ins or walks for their pets. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I have almost an acre for the dogs to play in the yard with my golden. I have experience with both small dogs and large dogs. I treat all dogs I interact with as if they were my own! Please reach out with any questions, I looking forward to hearing from you!
Reviews
Before booking Michelle she came to our home for a meet and greet, I could tell she was very experienced, she asked all the right questions and even took notes in a Planner that she brought. While we were away she sent pictures and texts , and always answered promptly when I reached out to her. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our Rocky was in good hands! I would definitely have Michelle watch him again.
Michelle has been a dog-sitter for our dog, Reggie, for several years. She is reliable, loving, and very trustworthy. She has stayed in my home while we are away and treats my dog as if it were her own. I highly recommend Michelle to care for your dog!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced in yard, and a sunroom with a doggy door which is super accommodating for the dogs to come in and out as they wish.

Information Michelle J. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences. Things I would need to know about the dog are: does the pet need any medications, are there any health conditions I should be aware of, how often and when is the pet fed, how often/when does the pet need to go to the bathroom, when does the pet get treats and for what if so, how is your pet with other animals (should I be cautious when walking near other animals), where does your pet sleep, are your pets allowed on the furniture, do you want and how often do you want picture/status updates on your pet and will your pet have separation anxiety?
A typical day
I walk around Wade Park since it is in my backyard! And My yard is great for fetch since it’s so big, it’s like a dog park.

I have a golden retriever Irish setter of my own so I’m always on a schedule with walking and feeding him. He loves having guests over.
