Highlights
Pet care experience
I do it because I love dogs!
Hi, I’m Michelle! I bring over 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I know how to keep your pup happy, healthy, and safe. I have a friendly black lab named Cooper who loves everyone he meets and enjoys having new friends around. Since I work from home, your dog will receive attentive, consistent care throughout the day and night, helping them feel comfortable, secure, and right at home. My 15-year-old son also enjoys helping out, and together we make a great team to ensure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and care. I prioritize maintaining your dog’s normal routine, whether it is mealtimes, potty breaks, playtime, or rest, so their stay feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. Safety is always my top priority. We have a fully fenced yard, and I always supervise outdoor time to give you extra peace of mind. You will receive at least two daily updates with photos so you can stay connected and see how your pup is doing. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet and greet. I would love to meet you and your pup!

Thank you for all the pictures and updates! Great communication and availability! Daisy had a great time.
This was the first time that my wife and I had booked Michelle to look after our two dogs Jack and Delilah. Both of our dogs were extremely well cared for and Michelle kept us updated frequently on how they were doing with messages and photos. We will definately be booking Michelle for all future dog sitting purpose for us - she is amazing and our dogs had a wonderful time!
Michelle is amazing! She provided several updates and photos and was very flexible to our schedule changing. We could see that Scooby also liked her at pick up.
Michelle is so kind and caring. I was nervous about leaving my dog and going on vacation but she truly cares and it shows. Will be using her services again. Thank you Michelle!!!
Michelle and her family were fantadtic with Maggie. She sent pictures and Maggie looked like she was having a great time with Michelle’s son. All in all- a great sitter for your fur-baby?
I would HIGHLY recommend Michelle and her pet sitting services to all my friends. She gave us daily updates and our dog was treated like she was part of Michelle family. Great experience!

Schedule
Since I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of breaks for the pups to go outside in our fenced-in yard to do their business, play, and burn off some energy.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Since I work from home, your pet will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. I provide regular potty breaks in our fully fenced-in yard, play sessions, and plenty of cuddle time. I stick to your pet’s usual feeding and medication schedule and offer a calm, clean environment with lots of love and attention. I only take a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one gets personalized care.

A typical day
Since I work from home, I’m able to provide a consistent routine that keeps the pups happy, healthy, and well-exercised. We usually start the morning with a potty break and a little playtime in our fenced-in yard. After breakfast, they settle in with me while I work, usually lounging nearby or playing with toys. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to let them outside to stretch their legs, sniff around, and get their energy out. We also squeeze in a midday fun indoor game like tug-of-war or hide-and-seek with treats. I keep fresh water available at all times and make sure they get lots of affection and attention. In the evenings, we have more playtime, dinner, and a final trip outside before winding down for the night. I find that this mix of structure, play, and downtime keeps them relaxed and content, and it’s a great balance for me too.

- Before caring for any pup, I like to learn as much as possible about their personality, routine, and specific needs. It’s helpful to know things like: -Feeding schedule and dietary restrictions -Bathroom habits and any signals they use -How they do on leash or with other dogs -Favorite toys, games, or comfort items -Any fears or triggers (like thunderstorms or loud noises) -Medical needs or medications -House rules they're used to (furniture, crate time, etc.) Understanding their routine and preferences helps me provide the most comfortable, safe, and stress-free experience possible for both the pup and their person!
