Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lover with years of experience!
Hi there! I'm Michelle and besides being a dog owner (my buddy is a friendly little Cairn Terrier), I also have experience walking and dog sitting. Your dog will have fun with my little dog who just loves to hang out with other dogs and will have plenty of space to nap and relax! I'm based in Emeryville and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. If your dog is up for it, Hazel and I go on daily long walks! Just tell me your dog's quirks and I'll take care of the rest! Why I love dog sitting I've had a dog since I was 16 - there's nothing like the warm feeling of having so much love and energy in the house! We love to have visiting dogs and have plenty of space to run around and play together. Dog sitting gives us the opportunity to enjoy the love dogs give to everyone! My experience administering medication Yes, as long as I am shown beforehand how to best administer. I’m comfortable with oral, topical, and intravenous medication.

Ratings and reviews
Michelle is fantastic and takes great care of Buddy!
Michelle was great taking care of Donut! Get stay turned out to be shorter than I’d planned for but Michelle was very kind and flexible working with me. I would definitely reach out again next time Donut needs to start away from home!
Thanks again for always being a great second home for Kasy!
Michelle took great care of my puppy!
Michelle has been boarding our dog Katsu for years and he always has a great time! Recently we adopted a second dog, and Maki and Katsu both got to spend a few days with Michelle for doggy day care. We always trust Michelle and her family to take good care of our dogs.
Everything was easy and efficient with Michelle, and she kept us supplied with pix of Ivy's stay. And our mellow pup came home as happy and snuggly as ever, so all was well.

Safety, trust & environment
I'll follow your schedule to keep things structured and consistent for your pet. We'll keep the same food times, walks, and fun activities to burn off their energy. I'll be home with them all day so they'll have a safe place to play or sleep while you're away!
Pets
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog When I dog sit I work from home and am home all day. My husband who also loves dogs works from home. Your dog will have plenty of supervision and cuddle time. If your pup is up for it we'll go on long morning and afternoon walks. My dog Hazel LOVES to play and she'd love to have a buddy. If your dog is more of a couch potato they're welcome to sleep and rest on the couch or sunbathe on a dog bed. Extra house-sitting services - let me know and we can discuss!

- I want to get to know a dog's personality- is he a napper, a runner, or a lapdog? What can I do to make them the happiest while their owner is away? I'd like to know their breed, any food restrictions, any bad habits they have, and their favorite activities.
