Michelle was great! She sent pictures and updates while she was checking in on my cats. I Will definitely book Michelle again in the future when I’m in need of a sitter, and recommend her services to friends.

Michelle was amazing! She was thorough, informative, and gave me detailed information on my puppers! She was flexible and was able to check in on them when our flight was delayed. After this experience, she is my go to dog sitter.

Michelle was absolutely wonderful. She gave us regular updates and immediately alerted us of any concerns with our dog. She took great care of our dog and home. I will definitely reach out to her again when we need pet sitting!

Safety, trust & environment

Currently only sitting in clients home. We will typically meet ahead of time for about 30 minutes for an intro with pets, review normal routine and any other crucial points to be considered during your absence. Some clients want daily updates or video calls, some don’t. Whatever you’re comfortable with while you’re away is what we’ll do.

Information Michelle L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or quirks that should be considered. I prefer pets that are trained to respect personal space and breeds that are on the calmer end of the spectrum, especially if the current outside climate is unsuitable for them to expend adequate energy. No biters or dogs that threaten to bite.

A typical day

Purpose and exercise are important to a dog’s calm state of mind. Adequate outside time, playing fetch, going on a walk, or playing at the dog park are options that I’m open to providing if it is part of your pet’s regular and normal routine.

My schedule is flexible allowing me the ability to coordinate pet & house sitting needs. Winter is a bit more restrictive during the workday but usually not an obstacle. Distance, weather, and reasonable scheduling do factor into consideration.
