Pet care experience

Your pet's next Bestfriend

I've been in love with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I grew up with dogs and cats in my home. I have learned to love and take care of them. I have taken care of my friends and colleague's pets many times over the years. I believe I have the abilities and share the love, care and affection needed to take care our beloved pets. I have patience for working with people and animals. I have worked as a senior care assistant, and I have previous experience with dogs of all sizes. I firmly believe that Dogs and Cats are the best examples of unconditional love and share the importance they have in our lives.

Michelle was absolutely amazing with Smoky! I was away for four days on a work trip, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. Smoky is a high energy dog who loves being outdoors, running, and staying active, and Michelle went above and beyond to make sure he got plenty of exercise, attention, and care. She took him on runs, kept up with his feeding and routine, and treated him like he was her own. She was also great about communicating throughout my trip, sending pictures and regular updates so I always knew how Smoky was doing. I came home to a happy and well cared for dog, which says everything. Michelle is dependable, caring, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I would absolutely book her again and would be more than happy to have her as Smoky’s regular sitter. Highly recommend her!

Michelle L, was outstanding with my pet Iggy, he was very well taken care of. He was so comfortable with her that he even let her pet his belly. She sent me photos of him every day. I worried about him, but I knew he was in good hands. If the need ever arises for pet sitting again, I would definitely like to book again with Michelle. Thank you Michelle for taking such good care of my baby.

Michelle was great! She sent lots of good pictures of Townsend having fun, and was very accommodating when flight got delayed causing us to get back in town very late.

Michelle was great with Holly. I was running unexpectedly late and she was able to accommodate the problem. She took Holly for walks and exercise. Plenty of pictures of Holly having fun.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small patio attached to my lovely apartment. My apartment also has a beautiful and luscious area full of trails and an area where your four-legged friend can play, go to the potty, or go for walks when needed.

A typical day

I will play with you dog ?, take care of it and giving him some love. He will have a good place to rest well and lay down where the dog/cat can rest and relax. The patio is always open so it's an option for the dog if he wants to stretch his legs outside. If the dog/cat requires extra space that needs to fulfill its necessities there is a fun dog park
