Flexible WFH Sitter for Your Pets

📝 About Me Hi, I’m Michelle! Because I work from home with a highly flexible schedule, I have open, everyday availability to give your pets the exact attention they need, right when they need it. I own a reliable car, meaning I am always punctual for scheduled drop-ins and walks. I love animals of all kinds and have the hands-on experience to care for your entire furry family. Whether you have a brand-new puppy learning the ropes, an athletic dog who loves to pull on the leash, a sweet senior who needs a gentle touch, or a cat who rules the house, I've got you covered. I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect. I will always send you detailed updates and cute photo check-ins from every single visit! 🦮 What a Dog Visit Looks Like Every walk and drop-in is tailored entirely to your dog’s age, energy level, and routine: For High-Energy Pups & Pullers: I use confident leash handling and positive reinforcement to manage pulling. We will focus on brisk, structured walks that burn off extra energy safely, ensuring they return home calm and satisfied. For Puppies: I specialize in maintaining potty training schedules, reinforcing basic commands, and providing short, fun play bursts. For Seniors: I offer slow, gentle stretches, careful assistance on stairs, on-time medication administration, and plenty of quiet, loving companionship. 🐱 What a Cat Drop-In Looks Like I understand that cats thrive on routine and have unique personalities. A typical cat visit includes: Fresh Food & Water: Strict adherence to your feeding schedule and thorough washing of bowls. Litter Box Maintenance: Scooping the litter box daily and sweeping up any tracked litter around the box to keep your home tidy. Enrichment & Interaction: Interactive playtime with laser pointers or wand toys for playful cats, or respectful, quiet companionship for shy kitties who prefer their space. 🛡️ Safety & Reliability Protocols Door-Darting Prevention: I am hyper-vigilant when entering your home to ensure no adventurous dogs or cats slip out the front door. Leash & Pulling Safety: I use secure grip techniques and never use retractable leashes. I strictly follow your specific training cues to manage pulling safely. Home Respect: I respect your privacy and property. I will always ensure doors are locked, alarms are set, and your home is exactly as you left it.

Michelle took exceptional care of my two pitbulls during my three‑week trip. From the very first drop‑in, her professionalism, calm energy, and genuine love for animals were obvious. My dogs absolutely adored her — their body language, their excitement, and their relaxed behavior told me everything I needed to know.She followed every instruction perfectly, sent thoughtful updates, and treated my pups as if they were her own. Knowing they were in such capable and caring hands gave me real peace of mind while I was away.I’m truly grateful for Michelle’s kindness and reliability. She is a gem, and I would trust her with my dogs anytime!
