Live by Compassion!

I have been around dogs all my life, and love them so much! My partner and I have 2 dogs (we previously had 3) and fostered several times before that. I love seeing dogs live their best life, playing, running, swimming, napping, whatever makes them happy! I have experience with a variety of adult dogs and puppies of various sizes and am situationally aware and patient of dogs with behavioral issues. I hope I can compliment your dogs' routine and add love, attention and fun to their day.

Michelle was right on time and is a truly delightful young lady. She did a great job house sitting for us and we’ll certainly use her again in the future.

Michelle was an amazing dog and house sitter! She was very responsive to my texts and sent lots of updates. She took my dog to the park and for lots of long walks. She gave him lots of cuddles too. I would definitely recommend her!

Michelle is amazing. She’s taken care of my two large dogs multiple times, and I trust her completely. As a fellow dog owner and true animal lover, she treats my dogs like they’re her own. She’s active, attentive, and incredibly dependable. What really sets Michelle apart is her balanced approach. She’s kind and nurturing but also confident and assertive when it comes to handling dogs. It’s clear she understands canine behavior and builds trust quickly. I never have to worry when my dogs are with her. She’s also great with people, super responsive, communicative, and reliable. I feel lucky to have found her and can’t recommend her enough!

Michelle is wonderful with all animals. She has watched my dogs for years and has always been reliable, responsive, and attentive. I highly recommended her services.

Michelle has been my trusted pet and house sitter for years! She is also a warm and responsible pet owner herself- she has two wonderful dogs. She is clean, timely, and has great communication. I am thankful for all of the time and attention she gives my animals. She always sends photos and leaves my house super clean. I could not recommend her more!

Schedule

I work Monday - Friday from roughly 8am - 3:30pm. I have flexibility in my work day meaning I can often stop by while I'm at work or work from home with certain days. I usually like to bring the dogs to work if they are people/dog friendly. I work in land management and often spend time in the field. If your dog has good recall and is good around people, they can come to work with me and run around in the woods for a fun adventure!

Safety, trust & environment

I give any pet the best care and attention they deserve - lots of snuggles and playtime. Any treats or food I give pets I try to give with good quality. Keeping pets healthy is important to me! I also hope that although they will get plenty of exercise with me, that they get their rest and are comfortable when the day is done.

Pets

A typical day

I live right by Draper Preserve and often take my dogs there for a hike or dip in the river. I usually take my dogs to work with me and often work in the field, so they get plenty of exercise and get to run around! In the evening, the dogs are usually tired from being active all day and love to lounge around the house or sit on the porch with me.

Any quirks or special treatment for your pup would be great to know. If your dog gets along with other dogs that would also be great, so I am aware when I take them out for a walk! I understand every dog has their own anxieties and we can be there to support them.
