Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable pet sitting you can trust!
I’m a caring and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet as if they were my own. What truly sets me apart is my heart for animals of all kinds (horses, dogs, cats, goats, chickens etc.) just NO pet snakes or spiders! lol! . With puppies, I use patience and gentle guidance to help them feel safe as they learn and grow, ensuring each moment is positive and full of play. For senior pets, I understand how important comfort and familiarity are, and I’m devoted to making sure they feel supported and at ease, with special attention to their unique needs. My focus is always on creating a calm, nurturing environment so you can feel completely confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while you’re away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I highly recommend Michelle for dog sitting! She is responsible, caring, and truly dedicated to providing the best care for your pet. My dog was well taken care of, and I received regular updates that put my mind at ease. Michelle is reliable and trustworthy, making her the perfect choice for anyone in need of a dog sitter.
Michelle has watched my dog Lux for me a few times overnight and also dropping in to give her dinner or take her out for a bathroom break. She is great about sending pictures and giving updates. I never had to worry when Lux was with her because I knew she was getting treated like she was Michelle's own dog. Her dog Ivy and Lux were the best of friends, so she was always getting plenty of exercise when she got to hang with Ivy, and a tired puppy is a happy puppy! I would def recommend Michelle to anyone looking for help with their pets!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the start, Michelle was warm, professional, and clearly had a natural way with animals. Our dog felt at home immediately, and I got daily updates with photos that showed just how happy and comfortable my boy was. Michelle followed all instructions perfectly, even going the extra mile with extra playtime and snuggles. Coming back to a calm, happy pup was such a relief. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter who treats pets like family!

Schedule
Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine, and I prioritize making each pet feel at home and at ease. I work from home in the financial service industry, so I am able to build my schedule around my pet clients' needs, from regular walks and feeding times to play sessions and cuddles. I make sure to maintain consistent routines, which helps pets feel more secure, especially when they’re missing their family. Whether it's daily visits or overnight stays, my week is structured to provide the right balance of care, attention, and companionship. I love the rhythm of caring for animals, and being able to spend time with them is truly the best part of my day, cause lets face it, the financial world gets boring! :)
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At my home, every pet is welcomed with warmth, care, and a safe environment tailored to their unique needs. I have created a pet-friendly space where your "furry kiddo" can relax, play, and feel completely at ease. Here’s how I care for pets in my home: *Safety is a top priority—I keep the environment clean and free of hazards and always supervise playtime with my dog, IVY. If your preference is not to have playtime with Ivy, we can accommodate that as well. And, of course, I give each pet plenty of love and attention so they feel right at home. My goal is to provide a peaceful, enjoyable stay where pets feel secure and happy until they’re reunited with their family. We do have a fenced in yard, so there is plenty of space to run, play fetch or just sunbath and relax. By choosing me as your pet sitter, you can trust that your pets will receive the highest level of care and affection in a home environment that prioritizes their happiness and safety.

A typical day
A day with your pet in my care is all about comfort, fun, and consistency. We start with a morning walk to get fresh air and exercise, followed by breakfast. Mid-morning is for stimulating play or gentle training exercises, tailored to their energy level and interests. After some restful downtime, the afternoon includes more play, enrichment activities, or a cozy cuddle session. Evening brings another walk or game before dinner, ending with relaxation and snuggles to wind down. My goal is to keep them happy, active, and at ease, making each day feel like home.

Temperament and Behavior: Any quirks, fears, or reactions to certain triggers (like other animals or loud noises). Health Needs: Any medications, allergies, or mobility issues, along with vet contact information. Training and Commands: Familiar commands or training rules you use so I can keep things consistent. Favorite Activities and Comforts: Their favorite toys, games, or comforting items to help them feel at ease. House Rules: Any restrictions or boundaries (like furniture rules or off-limit areas).
