Pet care experience

Reliable Love and Care for Your Pup

What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs, including my own pup of 14 years. Caring for a dog through every stage of life—from puppyhood to senior care—has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs. I also provide regular updates and plenty of love to help both pets and owners feel at ease.

Michelle was great. She has a large home for my fur baby to explore. They have several parks nearby for my dog to check out. She sent lots of pictures and our dog was enjoying herself. She is very friendly and kind. We are sorry that she will be unavailable during the school year because I would hire in a heartbeat! Unfortunately, my dog who has GI issues, happened to get a tummy ache. She did a great job communicating with us regularly on her condition. She contacted also our vet. The issue went away within 24 hours. She was positive and tried not to have us get worried. We felt bad that Michelle had to go through that experience.

Michelle took wonderful care of my senior dog for nine days while I was away. My dog wasn’t the easiest guest—she didn’t have a good appetite, had accidents while adjusting to a new environment, and needed medication for her back pain. Despite all of that, Michelle was incredibly patient, kind, and loving with her every step of the way. I truly appreciated the updates and felt at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. It meant so much for me to know she was treated with genuine compassion and affection. I am so grateful for everything Michelle did. Thank you again, Michelle!

I highly recommend Michelle! She was kind, sweet, helpful, and accommodating throughout the stay. She took good care of my little poochies and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind. My dogs felt comfortable, safe, and well cared for in her presence. I truly appreciate her warmth and attentiveness and would gladly book with her again. Thank you Michelle! 🙏

Michelle watched my dog for two weeks while I was in Korea, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She genuinely cares about animals and treated my dog like her own. During my trip, my dog got sick and threw up unexpectedly, and Michelle immediately took her to the vet and kept me updated every step of the way. Knowing she was willing to handle something stressful like that gave me so much peace of mind while I was overseas. My dog absolutely loves Michelle, and it’s obvious she has a natural way with dogs. She’s responsible, attentive, and someone I trust completely with my pet. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I’m currently home for the summer before starting dental school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day. This means I can provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, ensuring pets receive the care and supervision they need while their owners are away.
