Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet is our family!
I've loved animals since I was a young child, and have had pets all of my life. As soon as I was old enough to walk down my street by myself, I was petsitting for my neighbors. In 2011, I started working in animal welfare and quickly opened up my home to foster pets. My boyfriend and I have fostered more cats & kittens than we can count, and several dogs with special medical and/or behavioral needs. We currently have one rescue dog and three rescue cats. My heart dog, who passed away in September 2022, helped me learn a TON about behavior modification training, different types of medicine administration, and how to care for special-needs pups. I am well-versed in separation anxiety, fear aggression, reactivity, and resource guarding, and I'm comfortable taking care of pets who are leery of strangers at first.

Safety, trust & environment
I believe in treating a pet and their home with the utmost respect. Anyone in my care is treated as a family member, and their environment is kept clean and comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Michelle is beyond amazing! She always takes care of my pup with love and calmness, as he’s very skittish. Shes always so sweet and accommodating to mine and my pets needs. Thanks again, Michelle 🩷🐾
I cannot say enough amazing things about Michelle! She took care of my dog, three cats and fish 😁 My pup is very skittish and timid, but she worked with him and he began to slowly love her. ❤️ She reached out and communicated with me immediately, when she noticed that one of my naughty cats had eaten some pill pockets to see how to proceed 🤦🏻♀️, and when my pup had a nervous belly, she brought him Chicken and Rice. 🩵 She sent pictures every check in of ALL my pets. She went above and beyond!! She is absolutely amazing. I will definitely be using her in the future. Do not hesitate to use her for your fur babies needs, when you’re out of town. You’ll have nothing to worry about and you can enjoy your vacation and know your babies are safe and fully taken care of. Thanks again, so much Michelle! You’re the BEST ❤️🐾
Michelle is reliable, communicative, and wonderfully sweet to my pup. Michelle is patient with my dog's reactivity and gives me great reports on how she did on walks. Eddie gives Michelle 10/10, will play again!
Our pug Pearl had a great time with Ellie and her family. We loved getting videos and pictures everyday!
Michelle was fantastic. Not only did she save us last minute over the holidays, she was very helpful and accommodating with the meet and greet before hand. Our dogs did great with her dog and cats and I've never seen our old girl so happy at a sitters. The only down side is our pups are moping around because they miss their friends.
Michelle is so great at communicating what's going on. I really feel at ease knowing my babies are in Michelle's care. Thank you for taking so many pictures too!
