Pet care experience
Hi there! I am a caring teacher that loves dogs and cats. I have an Australian Cattle Dog at home and have owned cats before as well. For years, I have housesat for people, through Trusted Housesitter and Rover. I am active and can go for long walks with your dogs but also am happy to lay around with sleepier animals.
Reviews
Michelle M. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Michelle is an amazing sitter. She has gone above and beyond her duties. Our fur babies loved her from the start. And she is such a wonderfully sweet person. She is on Top of our list for watching our fur babies. Highly recommended.
Michelle was phenomenal, she went out of her way to meet myself and my pup Atlas. I was so please that I found her last minute. Atlas loved her, she did an amazing job handling and playing with Atlas, especially with him being a high energy dog. Will definitely be utilizing her moving forward!!
Michelle and I are often known among our friend group as the go-to for house and dog sitting. Michelle is very flexible with what kind of dog she works with and has stepped in to help elderly chihuahuas, French Bulldog puppies, my cat at home, and everything in between. Her experience is linked to hospitality, retirement homes, and child and dog care. Her work always involves interaction, communication and body language. All important dog-sitter qualities!

Safety, trust & environment
I make sure to know the needs of the animal I am taking care of and not introduce them to anything that would make them uncomfortable or unsafe. In my home, I would make sure they get along with my very friendly Australian Cattle Dog, Rosie.
Home
Information Michelle M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the breed of the dog and how friendly it is with other humans/dogs. Also, size just so I am aware of the amount of exercise needed for the day.
A typical day
I love going to the park, going on long walks through lovely NYC, and playing fetch or frisbee with dogs. Whatever your preference is, I am very outdoorsy and energetic so I can fulfill the personality of a pup.

Availability
I am a teacher who has late afternoons and evenings available to pet-sit. I love cats and dogs and have extensive experience caring for these animals. If you require me to sleepover, please note that I will be out of the house during school hours, usually 7AM-4PM but I can take your animal out in the morning and in the evening when I arrive back. When I lived in Napa Valley, I would dog sit all the time for tourists and winery professionals. I am energetic, fun and have huge love for animals. Please let me know what services you need!
