Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH • Fenced Yard • All-Day Care
I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have 15+ years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have experience with boarding and doggy daycare through Rover, as well as caring for pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, feeding routines, medications, and different activity levels. I work from home, so dogs in my care get plenty of attention throughout the day, along with access to our fully fenced backyard for potty breaks and playtime. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and at home while you’re away!

Michelle also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We love Michelle, my baby had a wonderful time. We will definitely come back to Michelle again.
Michelle was amazing taking care our dog Luca, he had lots of fun and was treated like family. Very attentive sharing photos and updates. Highly recommended would definitely repeat.
Michelle was very accommodating and friendly! First time leaving our dog with someone besides family, and I felt very confident that our Dexter was cared for just like we would have hoped! He's now asleep and I think will stay that way for a day or two lol.
Michelle is amazing! I am new to having my dog with a sitter and she was an awesome sitter. Not only did I get updates with photos and activity she treated her with such care. Michelle was also very communicative and understood my needs. I booked two times with her and will continue more in the future. 😄
I had a very happy pup upon return. Michelle was great, she took good care of my doggy.
Michelle is so great, my dogs had the BEST time! Very caring and such a great home, so thankful I found her. Highly recommend!!

Schedule
I work from home Monday–Friday and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-ins during the week, with weekend availability as well. Because I’m home most of the day, I can easily accommodate frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and your pet’s usual routine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for supervised play and potty breaks. Pets are welcomed into our home and treated like part of the family! I also have a friendly small dog who enjoys having new friends around. We live in a gated community with quiet streets, walking paths, parks, and a lake nearby, giving us lots of great options for safe walks and outdoor time.
Pets
A typical day
I like to keep each pet’s day as close to their normal routine as possible. Since I work from home, they’ll have plenty of company throughout the day, along with regular potty breaks, backyard time, playtime, and lots of attention. We also have parks and walking paths around a lake nearby for daily walks. I’m happy to adjust activity levels based on your pet—whether they love long walks and playtime or would rather relax, cuddle, and nap nearby while I work.

- Please let me know how your dog does around other dogs and children, as we are a family home. I’m able to separate dogs when needed, but dogs who are comfortable in a family environment are the best fit. I’d also love to know their typical energy level, how many walks they’re used to, and anything else that will help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay!
