Pet care experience

I’ll love them like they’re my own!

I’ve volunteered at the Houston SPCA, and raised/babysat dogs all of my life — I’ve got a lot of love to give! Aside from raising my own dogs, volunteering at the SPCA has exposed me to dogs from various backgrounds, so I have just about handled them all. As for cats, I’ve taken care of cats throughout my life as well and now have two of my very own. I have just about everything they need to feel loved, safe, and taken care of!

My dog Bash had an amazing time with Michelle and the other dogs! I frequently received pictures/videos while I was gone so I was sure Bash was safe, taken care of and most importantly a happy pup. I will 100% book with Michelle next time I need a sitter, won’t even bother to look for someone else. Thank you Michelle for making Bash feel at home!!

Michelle is so good with my Duke! I’m sure he listens to her more than he does me! She follows all instructions to keep my pup trained as well as stimulated. They have a fabulous time together !! I always know they’ll have a great time together!

Michelle was such a great sitter for my pup Frida. She provided daily pictures of her stay along with updates and took great care of my dog. She was very accommodating of my last-minute booking, I would book with her again.

Michelle is beyond amazing with our pets. We have used as a pet sitter for over 15 years and she has always been dependable. Michelle always follows all the feeding instructions and if any medications need to be administered. She knows how much we love our fur babies and while gone sends us videos and pictures with updates on their walks, playtime or while resting. I will always be so appreciative to Michelle for taking care of our senior dog while we had to take an emergency trip. Our beloved Daisy was on her last days and she was so compassionate and loving to care for her. Michelle has and treats our fur babies like they are her own and I never have to worry when shes taking care of them.

Michelle is amazing!! She took care of our fur babies as if they were her own! They are not the easiest to work with, but she made sure they were loved and looked after while we were away :)

Michelle is an excellent pet sitter! I've had her watch our three pups (Great Dane, Mastiff and pit-mix) along with our cat. She made sure to do everything I asked of her - walks, feedings, and showing our fur babies lots of love and attention. I travel frequently and it's good to know she is there to help. I love that she always keeps me updated with pictures; if you're a pet owner you know how important this is while you're away. I highly recommend Michelle.

Schedule

I mainly work remotely while my husband works fully remote, so looking after fur babies fits in just fine. This means we’ll take potty breaks often, get lots of pets, and go on walks and/or play throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

If your pet is on the active side, I will happily ensure they are getting the exercise and play they need. If your little one likes to chill and be cuddled, I’m totally down for that too. Whatever your fur baby needs to feel right at home, I’m ready to provide.

Pets

A typical day

Your fur baby will be happily exhausted with me! If your little one is active, they can expect plenty of playtime and walks. We can also play mentally stimulating games like sniff games and trick training. If your dog is on the more chill side, no worries - I will happily cuddle with them and tell them the 411 on what’s going on in my life.
