Pet care experience

Caring & Committed to Your Pup

My love of dogs led me to start a dog walking business when I was only 10 yrs old. Once I finally convinced my parents to get a dog, I was 15 and we ended up with two bichon-malteses who were the loves of my life. As an adult, my career has me traveling frequently so I haven’t become a pet owner, but I continue to dogsit for friends and neighbors because I love the companionship when I’m home. I am committed to providing your dog a comfortable home away from home where they will be well cared for and loved.

Michelle is an amazing and caring pet sitter! As a lifetime dog lover, she always puts the dog's needs first. She has taken care of my poodle, Austin, with such affection - and he LOVES her right back! She has proven to be a reliable, genuine, and caring pet sitter. Would highly recommend!

I have know Michelle for over 25 years. She is one of the most dependable and responsible people I know. I have observed her love for her own dogs and also mine. She is patient, caring and would provide excellent care for all animals. I have used Rover for years and wish we still lived close enough to each other so I could use MIchelle. I highly recommend her!

Michelle watched and walked our Cavapoo puppy, named Harper, for us for 2-3 hours at a time. We lived in the same building and she volunteered to help us out because she loves dogs and we needed the help!! Harper greatly enjoyed his time with Michelle, she loves dogs and he always greeted her with joy if we ran into her in the building or on the street. Michelle was very professional: she was available when she said she would be and did exactly what she said she would do— there were no bad surprises. I felt that my dog was 100% safe with her: she took good care of him and he loved his time with her. Rover would be very lucky to have Michelle providing care under their name, she is a first class professional.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a dog friendly building, where there is greenery and walking paths around the building for daily walks and enjoy going for longer walks in nearby parks.

A typical day

I will keep your dog active with long walks and varying up locations for walks. I also enjoy playing fetch and providing a lot of pets and snuggles if they like that.
