Pet care experience
IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. I stay in your home. I am not available for drop-ins. 2. I keep my calendar as up to date as possible & I book out quickly, especially for holidays & weekends. 3. Greyed out dates, I am unavailable for bookings as I’m either out of town or have personal commitments. 4. Every month, I donate to Saving Grace NC, SPCA of Wake County and Turtle Mountain Animal Rescue as #RoverShel to help animals in need and ensure they have a chance to find loving furever homes! 5. I carry Pet Care insurance that I purchase independently. 6. I’m getting requests into 2026 already, so If you’re planning ahead, book me now. Hi!! I’m Michelle. I moved to NC from the Midwest in June 2023. Since then, I’ve proudly curated a loving, supportive pet family community in the Raleigh area. I loved my own dogs to life for years past their life expectancy. Small & large breeds. From pups to seniors. It’s my first time not having a pup of my own so I will care for your fur babies as if they were mine.
Cat care experience
Michelle also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Michelle is an amazing sitter. She signed up for a last minute stay for my girl Ruby. She was on time, kept to Ruby's routines, schedule and feedings. She allowed for lots of fun play time and even more snuggles! Ruby was well relaxed and content throughout the stay and when we arrived home. Michelle kept in contact with me with updates and pictures. I would highly recommend her to others, and hope to use her services again.
Michelle was fantastic and our dogs loved her so much! They had a fantastic vacation while we were on vacation too! Definitely will have her back!
The girls just love Michelle! They don’t even seem to care when we come back home! 😀 It is so reassuring to know what great hands they are in while we’re gone. We don’t have to worry and that’s such a relief! She’s an absolute treasure for us!
Michelle is the BEST! You can be comfortable knowing she’s taking the best care of your babies. Very communicative, sends lots of pictures, and absolutely loves them like your own. Cant recommend her enough
About Michelle L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your fur baby (babies) as well as your home, belongings, and privacy. I can be the supportive, kind, ear-scratching partner to keep a peaceful, pet friendly environment. I will keep your home clean & secure. Your privacy is important to me. I spent 30 years as a bonded, licensed insurance professional, so your home is safe with me. I carry a pet sitter insurance policy for added protection.
Information Michelle L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your best friend’s preferences & quirks. I want to be respectful to them and you! It’s my goal for everyone to be comfortable, safe, & secure. We can talk over habits, schedule, etc. during our meet & greet. Let’s make sure everyone is comfortable!
A typical day
***I stay in your home, I don’t do drop-ins*** I’m not in a hurry & won’t rush anyone. Whatever your bubbas like, I can accommodate. Plenty of cuddle time! I enjoy being with furries & when you book with me, I’ll have minimal time constraints from other obligations, so I’ll be there for your love ones!

Availability
I always make time for every animal I see. I work for myself (sometimes out of state, so I keep my calendar current) & have the time your fur babies need to be comfortable while you’re on vacation, attending life events, traveling for work, etc!
