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!

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
Amazing communication and very accommodating ! Very kind and loving to my baby, Mocha. Shared lots of pics and videos and I could enjoy my time away knowing she was in great hands! Thank you so much !
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 was really great. She was prompt and clear when communicating with me. She sent pictures and updates through out each day. Most importantly she was understanding and patient with ME as I explain in detail a lot of what my dogs need. I have a 13 yo and a 13 month old, both labs and each comes with some very specific handling needs especially around feeding and walking and Michelle was open to letting me communicate these needs. Her care and attention to the dogs' needs helped me relax on our vacation. I will definitely be asking her again to stay with the dogs. Thanks Michelle
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!

Schedule
I work from home and pet care is a high priority for me with flexibility to adjust to what the pet needs while I am with them.

- Personally I really like to know about any quirks your pup might have, their preferences, and how best to keep them happy in your absence. I know its hard for them to be without their person / people so anything you can help me figure out to help that separation is greatly appreciated.
- These prices are for 1 dog.
