Trusted Care for Your Family Member

An LPN by trade, I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Since I was a little girl, dogs and cats have held a special place in my heart, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Anyone who knows me personally knows how deeply I love animals and how important they are to me. My own dogs are truly part of my family—they’re my babies—and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and family members regularly rely on me to watch and board their beloved pets when they travel. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for daily walks, playing, providing companionship, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When your pet is in my care, I will treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a loving, dependable, and stress-free experience for both you and your furry family member, so you can have peace of mind knowing they are receiving plenty of attention, affection, and care.

Michelle was wonderful! She made sure my pups felt completely comfortable the whole time. I loved getting so many photo updates every day. I always knew they were in great hands. I will definitely book with her again!

Michelle is truly exceptional. While I was away on vacation, she took care of my dogs as if they her own—patient, attentive, and incredibly loving. She stayed in touch the entire time, sending photos and videos so I could see how happy and comfortable they were. That level of communication meant the world to me. My dogs bonded with her instantly, and it was obvious they felt safe and relaxed in her care. Michelle is responsible, dependable, and genuinely passionate about animals. Anyone who chooses her as a pet sitter will be lucky to have her.

Michelle is wonderful with pets! She is very loving and nurturing. Michelle watched our dog (Chloe) while we were on vacation, and took great care of her. Our dog was so happy! I would definitely recommend Michelle to anyone needing care for their pet.

Schedule

As a nurse who is currently taking a break from my career, I have the time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. My mornings start with potty breaks, breakfast, and plenty of love and attention for the pets in my care. After a relaxing coffee break, we head out for a daily walk, with the distance tailored to each pet’s age, energy level, and abilities—anywhere from a leisurely stroll to a 1–3 mile adventure. The rest of the day includes playtime, cuddles, companionship, and ensuring your pet feels comfortable and secure. I understand how much pet parents miss their furry family members, so I’m happy to send photos and videos to keep you updated and give you peace of mind. Afternoons are typically a time for rest and relaxation, followed by supper and another walk in the evening if needed. Because I am home throughout the day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and affection. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable, safe, and loving as possible—just like they are part of my own family.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While we do not have a fenced yard, I am committed to responsible pet care and will always use a leash when outdoors—without exception. I understand that pets are cherished family members, and I take every precaution to keep them safe. My home is shared with two friendly, low-key dogs who enjoy daily walks, relaxing in the sunshine, and plenty of couch cuddles. They are accustomed to being around other pets and help create a calm, welcoming environment. Whether your pet enjoys activity and adventure or prefers quiet companionship and affection, I will do my best to make them feel comfortable, loved, and right at home.
