Highlights
Pet care experience
I'll love your dog like my own
Hi! I’m Michelle - I work in economic consulting and love dogs! I grew up w dogs, fostered dogs, and pet sit for friends when they are out of town. I have experience caring for and exercising different dogs from teacup cockapoos to Great Danes! Recently I moved to the NOVA area in the summer of 2025 with my 2 dogs - Scout and Abby. My work allows me to work from home so your pup(s) are rarely unsupervised. Rest assured your dog will be treated and accommodated for as if he/she were my own!
Qualifications
Pets
Safety, trust & environment
For housesitting I try to keep things as regular for the pet as possible to avoid any disturbances to keep things as regular for them as possible and provide the owner with peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
Michelle was amazing with my older pup. She made both Spanky and me comfortable while I was gone. Fantastic at communicating, conscientious. I have already booked her for the next time I am away.
Michelle and I got along right from the start. She house sat for a few days and consistently communicated well. The pups and house were great to come home to!
Michelle was a wonderful pet sitter for Stevie. She was extremely responsive, sent a ton of photos and videos, and was courteous. Can't recommend Michelle enough!
Michelle took excellent care of my senior dog, Kora, while I was away for over a week. I was nervous about being gone for so long, but Michelle sent lots of updates and photos that really helped put my mind at ease. Knowing Kora was comfortable and well cared for allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. I would absolutely book with Michelle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
Michelle was very gracious and kind to come last minute when my mom had an unexpected hospital stay. She was flexible and understanding when my mom had a crisis and my husband was delayed getting back home. Her kindness and affection with our boy Sherlock was wonderful!
Michelle was an excellent sitter for Cali! She sent a ton of pictures and videos and I knew she was well taken care of the whole time. Cali has separation anxiety and Michelle made sure she was never alone. She also was careful to introduce Cali and Abby slowly in the apartment and it seemed like they got along well. I felt like Michelle gave Cali the same care she would give her own dog. Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a top notch sitter.
