Pet care experience

Every animal needs love

Hello, I'm Michelle and I love being around dogs. I currently have no dogs of my own on my home anymore as my rescue had gotten into her old age. But I see it as opportunity to have more time to care for others dogs. I care for all dogs and pets just as equally as I cared for my own, I wouldn't treat them no less than what I would treat a human child. If you let me watch your dog I will absolutely spoil them, if they are house trained I will absolutely let them cuddle with me on the couch or bed and I will provide all dogs with snacks!

Michelle did a wonderful job with my Moses! She shared pictures of him enjoying the backyard, and I would definitely recommend her!

Michelle was very responsive and interactive. She provided me with photos, a video and updates. Grateful that she opened up her home - especially on a holiday weekend!

Michelle did a wonderful job with our dog, Charlie. She sent pictures of him while we were away which was a great way for us to see how well he was doing. This was the first time we ever left Charlie with someone else besides family. I would not hesitate to use her services again.

Michelle and her pack communicated well and were accommodating with a flexible schedule for drop off and pickup. We will use her services again, if she'll have us.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I have medically retired out of the military so my schedule is extremely flexible and I am available at almost any time and can even be able to accommodate last minute pet sitting needs.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

Being responsible for someone else's baby is a big deal and I prefer to watch dogs in my home, so I always make sure there are no cleaning chemicals and things of such in my home that are out or accessible to dogs. Floors and rugs are vaccumed often so there isnt anything unsafe that a curious dog might want to eat. I provide snacks just because I love spoiling dogs and I do have a fenced back yard space. I also make sure they are comfy I have many dog beds and any house trained pet is able to stay on the couches and beds ( they are cleaned often).

A typical day

I like to walk dogs, even if they are a bit of a leash puller. As I said I have a dog of my own she is extremely friendly with other dogs and likes to play, since getting her I have gotten professional lessons from trainers on how to engage in fun and brain stimulating activities which I would do with any dog I pet sit. When I am watching a client's dog I don't make plans on the days that I watch them so I have plenty of time to keep an eye on them.

It's important for me to know how long the dogs can stay alone at a time in any case of emergency. It's also important that I know if they are fully house trained or not and how long they are able to control their bladder so I know exactly when they need their potty times.
