I am a school-based occupational therapist with a lighter schedule, looking for a fun way to fill my time. I love going out on walks and getting a couple extra steps in.

About Michelle K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In a clients home, detailed instructions and honesty about a pets personality and reactivity is key. This ensures both mine and the pet’s safety when caring for them in a way that the owner, pet, and I are comfortable with.
Information Michelle K. would like to know about your pet
I think it’s important to know the temperament and reactivity of your pet. Additionally, the commands that the dog does know, their likes/dislikes, and if there’s any quirks to be prepared for. For example, release commands, activity limitations, irrational fears and the dog’s reaction (i.e. fear of inflatable lawn decor), etc.
A typical day
I love going for long walks to get good sniffs in and playing with toys for an enjoyable experience for us both. Hugs/cuddles are appreciated but not a requirement.

Pets are loved ones, I honor that
Pet care experience
I have an elderly dog with various medical conditions including diabetes. I am comfortable administering her insulin and making sure her medications are taken with meals. I have cared for cats and dogs alike when friends are out of town. Often, it is walks, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, and providing fresh food and water.
Cat care experience
Michelle also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Michelle is the most attentive and caring pet caregiver. She has been an amazing caretaker not only to her dog for over 10 years, but to every single one of her friends' dogs, and my cat. She loves every pet like it's her own, and always knows exactly what they need. She is the best person to have take care of your pets.
Michelle has been helping to take care of my family's goldendoodle since we got him back in 2020. Our pup loves spending time with Michelle, as she and him go out for long walks, play, and cuddle (he's not always a cuddler!). My family and I can rely on Michelle for caring for our dog like her own. She is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and patient. Highly recommend for top-notch pet sitting!
