Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable pet sitting you can trust!
Hi! I’m Michelle, and I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their family is away. ❤️ When your dog stays with me, they’re treated like family. I provide a calm, loving home environment where your pup can relax, receive plenty of attention, and follow the routines and comforts they’re used to at home. One thing that makes my care different: I care for only one client dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog my undivided attention, individualized care, and plenty of one-on-one companionship rather than having multiple unfamiliar dogs competing for my attention. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful—for both you and your pup! My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s personality, routines, preferences, and needs so they can feel right at home. Whether your dog loves walks, cuddles, playtime, relaxing on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the love and attention they deserve. 🐶💕 You can feel confident knowing your furry family member is receiving personalized, attentive, and compassionate care in a comfortable home environment. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and become someone you can trust whenever you need a loving home away from home!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Michelle was awesome! She was very attentive to Slater, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and had everything he needed while we were away. I loved getting her daily updates and knowing our dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their pup!
The best!
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
Because I work from home, caring for a dog fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent companionship, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a clean, comfortable, and calm home environment where your pet can feel secure and cared for while you’re away. Because I work from home and care for only one client dog at a time, your pup receives consistent supervision and my undivided attention throughout their stay. I’m able to keep a close eye on them, maintain their normal routine, and quickly notice if something seems unusual or if they need extra comfort or attention. I take the time to learn each dog’s individual personality, habits, routines, feeding schedule, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions provided by their owner. I believe clear communication with you is an important part of building trust, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️ I also respect each dog’s boundaries and comfort level. Whether your pup is playful and energetic or prefers a quiet place to relax, I want them to feel safe and welcome in my home. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care as I would want someone to treat my own—with patience, compassion, respect, attention, and lots of love. 🐶💕

A typical day
love making sure the dogs in my care have plenty of opportunities for fun, companionship, and mental stimulation! 🐶❤️ Depending on your dog’s personality, energy level, and preferences, our days may include: 🐕 Daily walks and outdoor time to get some fresh air and exercise 🎾 Playtime with their favorite toys and games 🧠 Mental stimulation through interactive play and enrichment 🐾 Exploring and sniffing at their own comfortable pace 🥰 Lots of cuddles, belly rubs, and affection for dogs who love it 🛋️ Relaxing and hanging out together for pups who prefer a quieter day 📸 Photos and updates so you can see how much fun your pup is having Since I care for only one client dog at a time, I can tailor activities to your dog rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Some dogs want to play all day, while others are happiest taking a leisurely walk and curling up beside you—and I’m happy to accommodate both! My goal is for every pup to have a safe, happy, comfortable stay filled with attention, companionship, play, and lots of love. 💕🐾

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).
