Able to work all days and all hours

Pet care experience

I can do all hours and all days with any size or type of dog. I have no children and I lost my last cat on 6/14/23, so I have no animals at home right now. You're pet would be the one to fill my heart with love. ♥️♥️ I have been involved with helping Puppy Walk, raise puppies to later become Guide Dogs for the Blind. They were 7 Labradors, a Labrador/Golden Retriver cross, a Golden Retriever, and a Shiloh Shepard. I have had dogs my whole life including a Weimaraner, a Lab/pit mix, and a Great Dane. I volunteered for years walking dogs at an animal shelter. Doing all sizes of dogs, but especially the larger dogs including German Shepards, Pitbulls, Rottweilers, Great Danes, and a full grown 220lb Mastiff, as well as a German Shepard in a wheelchair. I also love little dogs I have sat for a Yorkie, a Morkie, and a Shorkie. I am trained as a firefighter and paramedic and am good in emergencies and able to take care of special needs dogs.

Michelle stayed with my two 60 and 70 lb Doodles for 5 days and would not hesitate to book her again. I was sent photos and updates throughout her stay all showing very happy dogs playing, swimming and lounging with her. She chose to stay three hours longer than she needed because I would not be home in time for their midday play and snack and she didn't want them to miss it. The most amazing thing is I walk back into the house and wouldn't have known that anyone else was even in the house while I was gone. If your looking for a trustworthy individual with knowledge and love of dogs then Michelle is your woman.

Michelle was a great sitter for our three very large dogs and parrot. As soon as we met her at the meet and greet, we new that she was an animal lover and very knowledgeable and dependable. Michelle kept in touch to let us know how the boys were doing while we were gone and we came home to very happy pets. I will not hesitate to book Michelle again. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!

Michelle did an excellent job with our 3 pups! She was so kind to take care of them at the last minute. She was very thorough, reliable and caring. Can’t wait to use her again- our pups loved her!

Michelle takes amazing care of my two senior kitties. She's incredibly considerate and took notes on feeding/medicine dosages. Michelle goes out of her way to make sure my cats are happy and that I'm kept in the loop. Don't hesitate to book with her! ?

I would care for your pets just as you would. If they slept in the bed with you, they would sleep in the bed with me. However their schedule was I would follow. It's all about their routine, needs, and love.

Information Michelle L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog is friendly, if he gets along with strangers and children. I would like to know how he/she behaves around strange dogs. If they can be petted by other people on a walk or able to be near other dogs while we are walking or at a dog park (if allowed). What are your dogs' favorite toys? Are they allowed on furniture? Where is their favorite spot to sleep? Do you do crate training? What times of day does your dog usually go out? How much exercise is your dog able to get? Are their any special needs that I need to know about? What times does your animal eat and is he/she allowed treats and if so, how many? Is the animal afraid of anything?

A typical day

We can walk anywhere your pet usually goes. Around the block, at a park, wherever their favorite place is. We can do any fun activities your dog likes. Playing fetch, running around the yard, going to a dog park, or just snuggling on the couch together.

Pet sitting is my only priority. I would stay at your house during the day and night if you booked an overnight. Your pets' routine is now my routine for the period that I'm at your house. I fit into their schedule, not the other way around. Your animal comes first always.
