Pet care experience

Empty nester pet sitter for you

I have owned and loved dogs all of my adult life and recently became a cat lover. I currently have no animals and would love to share my caring nature with one or more of your pets. Not ready right now for another pet, but watching over furry friends for others will certainly help to fill my void until I am ready to adopt another cat or dog. At this time I am home full-time and my hours are very flexible. If I am available I don't mind last minute requests. Dog walking is a great exercise and I love to just be around animals-I have none right now. My home is very pet friendly. No pets at home right now so no concerns about how two sets of animals might get along and your pet will get all of my attention. No children in the home either. I have a large yard-though not fenced. My neighborhood is a bit rural but close to town. I work part time during summer months. That seasonal job has ended and I have no work commitments right now. Looking for animals to care for. I provide a loving and safe environment for pets. Have cared for my own dogs and cats over the years. Currently have no pets and would be happy to offer my pet free home to your animals. I am missing my own but the time is not yet right for another pet for me.

We appreciated Michelle watching our senior shih tzu and would recommend her! She was very nice and responsive.

Michelle was very pleasant and very responsive to messages. Her home is clean and plenty of spaces where our Winter can freely roam. Will book again as the need arise.

Michelle is very flexible and kind. We have been very happy with her help so far, and would be happy to have her continue watching our boy.

We have been friends over 40 years, Michelle has never watched my animals, because the need never arose. They would seek her to pet them when she visited. I do know how passionate she is with animals and how dedicated she is to all animals. I have been with her in many times to know she would be a trustworthy dog ( or any animal) sitter. I have seen dogs and cats go up to her in a group and pick her to be friendly. She is a very responsible person and would highly recommend her.

Michelle is a very responsible person, the animal comes first. She has a gentle, kind and loving way with animals. She treats them like a family member. Even in a group of people, the dogs seem to gravitate toward her kindness. Your dog will be in good hands.

I live very close to the Saginaw Valley rail trail which offers the safety of off-road walking and lots of nature to sniff and explore. It is also a beautiful walk for me.

I can handle most kinds of dogs/cats with the exception of a very large breed dog for walking purposes. As I do not have a fenced in yard I will need to keep your dog on a leash while they are outside at all times. I would have to be able to handle the size of your dog on the leash.
