Pet care experience

Your Furry BFF

A lifelong dog lover and experienced Rover sitter with over 11 years of trusted care, I’ve had the joy of turning my passion into something truly meaningful. Many of my repeat clients say their pups treat my home like a second home and some even call me “Auntie Michelle”! Not only do I offer pet sitting, but I also provide dog walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, depending on what your pet needs. I also offer a gentle bath service during your pup's stay, so they can go home fresh and clean!

Michelle was great! This was my first time leaving St. Charles with a sitter and she made the entire experience stress free. She sent frequent updates/photos each day which gave me peace of mind and genuinely cared for him as if he were her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.

This is the first time I’ve used Michelle on an impromptu, high demand holiday weekend. She was accommodating with a meet and greet in advance and super flexible. From the moment we met her I knew my lab/pointer would be happy. He enjoyed being in her home and with the other dogs she was caring for. She is highly attentive and kept me apprised that my dog was properly eating, sleeping and going potty. Michelle is the best!

Michelle was great from the start. Great communication. We received a lot of updates, pictures and videos of our pup during his stay. He is a bit shy at first and Michelle made sure he was comfortable.

Michelle was absolutely fantastic with our puppy, Romeo! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She communicated with us regularly throughout the week, sending thoughtful updates along with plenty of photos and videos that gave us real peace of mind. What really stood out was how genuinely she cared for Romeo—she treated him like one of her own. It wasn’t just pet sitting; it felt like he was part of her family. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. We couldn’t recommend Michelle more highly and will absolutely trust her with Romeo again in the future!

Schedule

As a stay-at-home wife, I’m able to give your pup lots of love, attention, and care throughout the day. I stick to their routine, give them plenty of playtime, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed with lots of cuddles, of course! Pups love coming here for their own little vacation. :)
