Pet care experience

Your pups new BFF 🐾

Hi! I’m Michelle, and I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs my whole life, and they’ve always been such an important part of my family. From morning walks to lazy couch cuddles, I’ve learned how much joy and comfort dogs bring and I truly love caring for them.

Michelle took such great care of my dog, Rigley! She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, and was always quick to respond. Her reliability gave me total peace of mind. It’s such a relief to have found someone I can truly trust—I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!

Michelle was amazing with my dog! She sent lots of photo updates and is very responsible and a great communicator. I could tell she treats my dog as her own and I will definitely be back!

Michelle was the best! She took such great care of my dog and followed my schedule to a tee. Walked him several times a day too. My dog felt safe and loved!

Michelle is a mature, responsible and thoughtful individual who is an amazing caretaker and a true lover of animals. I’ve known her over her entire life and seen how she’s treated dogs and other pets and she is very confident and loving and caring for the well being. You can rest assured if you leave your pet with Michelle she will care for it like it’s her own and provide whatever communication you desire with kindness.

I cannot recommend Michelle enough as a pet sitter. She is one of the most responsible, attentive, and caring people I know. Michelle has a natural love for animals and treats every pet as if they were her own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and reliable, Michelle is truly an exceptional choice.

Schedule

During the week, I work remote and long walks are a non negotiable for me and can take them out for potty breaks during the day as needed. I also have a balcony with a dog potty grass area if bathroom needs are more urgent. My building has a dog run area as well. On the weekends I’m usually around all day and love to go for long walks and hang with the pups!

Safety, trust & environment

I have no other pets so they will be in a safe and loving environment. I know how important your pup is to you and I can assure you they will be in a safe and loving environment with all the care they need.

A typical day

I love making every pet feel safe, stimulated, and genuinely cared for while their owner is away. I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. For high-energy dogs, I enjoy long walks, structured play (fetch, tug), and even light training reinforcement to keep their minds engaged. For more relaxed pups, I focus on calm walks, belly rubs, and plenty of affection.

Before caring for your pet, I like to understand their routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can give them the best possible experience. I also appreciate knowing what comforts them most — favorite toys, treats, or calming techniques — so I can help them feel secure while you’re away.
