Experienced Loving Dog Caretaker

Pet care experience

I’m a huge animal lover with a lot of experience caring for dogs, and have two of my own that I treat like my children. I grew up having every kind of animal you can think of (monkeys included). I’ve fostered dogs and cats for years and have spent time volunteering at my local animal shelter. I’m currently a full-time stay at home mom to my 5 year old (whom loves dogs). Therefore, I have all the time in the world to care for & spoil your dogs while you are away, and offer flexible scheduling. I live in a house where the dogs I care for are free to roam downstairs. I have a fenced-in backyard with a doghouse, and occasionally I will put out a kiddie pool for them to play in our backyard, soo your dogs will be getting a lot of exercise and play time. I have dog toys, comfy dog beds, and I allow them to sleep in our room/bed if they feel more comfortable at night. I will treat your dog as part of my family, just like I treat mine, showering them with love and affection. It is my job to make them as comfortable and at home as possible, as I know some dogs can get anxious staying at new places and meeting new faces. I will stick to their normal routine, soo they don’t have too much to adjust to other than a new place. I am more than willing to take care of a dog that has special needs or medications, because like I mentioned previously, I have experience fostering sick and injured dogs. I will also keep you updated while you are away with daily pictures and videos of your babies to bring a little more comfort to you as well.

She did a great job with my Corgi. It was nice that she was concerned with her health! I would recommend her to anyone!

Many thanks to Michelle for taking such good care of my puppy. She was very attentive and kept me informed all the time by sending me photos and videos. I recommend her 100% and I will surely repeat her services again.

Michelle was a very reliable and caring sitter for my fur babies-a cat and a chinchilla. She took photos and gave a thorough update daily of how they were and followed instructions to the letter. I highly recommend her!

Information Michelle M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know their normal routine, and if they are potty-trained. I would also like to know his favorite toys, games, treats, any allergies, special needs, medications, where he usually sleeps, if he gets along with other dogs, and anything else you can tell me that will help me make him as comfortable as possible while staying with me.

A typical day

I enjoy spoiling the dogs I care for like my own! I have a backyard with a doghouse that has room for some off leash fun and potty time. I’m an avid hiker, so if your dog enjoys going for hikes, please let me know, because I’d love taking them with me whenever I go! We also have a neighborhood park nearby that I can take them on walks too if needed.
