Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Michelle has been caring for my now 8-year-old basset hound mix, Emma, for about five years now. Emma loves attention, insists on always being right next to her humans, and is sweet as can be but also stubborn. Michelle treats her as her own-making space for her for never-ending cuddles. Emma loves going to Michelle's house (perhaps more than coming home to me!), and I love knowing that I don't have to worry about her when she is staying with Michelle. Michelle is also highly communicative--providing updates on how Emma is doing, especially for longer stays. I trust Michelle entirely with Emma and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!
Michelle treats my dogs like her own! She is so accommodating of their unique needs & quirkiness. She is very knowledgable and has many tools & tricks to keep them happy while we are gone.
We’ve trusted Michelle to care for our dog Bear for the past 4 years, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her. Bear is a high-maintenance pup with some special care needs, and Michelle has always gone above and beyond to make sure he’s safe, happy, and well cared for. She’s incredibly kind, accommodating, and consistently available when we need her. Most importantly, she truly loves Bear like he’s her own. Knowing he’s in her hands gives us complete peace of mind every time. We can’t recommend her highly enough!
Michelle has taken great care of our elderly dog multiple times. She arrives on time and communicates clearly. Our dog requires daily medication and has behavior challenges and she has been incredibly patient with him and understanding of his needs. He always returns home happy and well cared for. I would recommend her to anyone.

Schedule
I do work outside of the home, but its a standard 8hr work day, so clients are cared for like my own pets around my work schedule.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a small fenced yard for clients to play. Often do neighborhood walks if weather and clients are able. Many clients also do dog park visits with a paid park pass.
Pets
A typical day
We do physical and mental stimulation which includes commands, such as sit, stay. Yardtime includes toy chasing and playtime with other pets. I enjoy taking dogs that are acclimated to dog parks out for adventures or a simple walk around the block! Cuddletime is also big at my place!
