I'll send you too many pictures!

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and most of my earliest memories include dogs. I now live without a dog and miss it so much, so I want to step-in when owners need to leave their home and provide a loving and caring environment for each dog. I believe the most important thing when dog-sitting is to keep the same routine a dog is used to including when the dog normally eats, when they exercise, and how they exercise. I have been dog-sitting for a few years now and love it. I enjoy getting to know the personality of each dog. I love taking dogs on runs (although I usually can't keep up) and long hikes, out to a swimming hole to cool off, or to the dog park if that is where they want to be. I work during the day, but have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to work odd hours and leave work for hours at a time. I also work at an organization that allows dogs at the office, so if your dog is used to the office life, he/she can come with me for the day and enjoy the company of people and the sound of computer keys clicking. It is important to know your dog is being taken care of while you are away, so I love flooding each dog owner with pictures of their pup while they are gone. I also love cats!

Michelle is fantastic! She is professional and clearly an animal lover. She took excellent care of our dog and kept in contact with us the whole time we were gone -- sending us lots of pictures, which we really appreciate. I would have no hesitation recommending Michelle for house/dog sitting. In fact, we hope to have her dog sit again very soon.

Michelle did a wonderful job with the care of our three dogs she has a passion for the care of animals that we greatly appreciate and could see from all the pictures she sent to us while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs that extra confidence that their Animal family members are being well taken cared for.

Michelle is reliable, responsible, responsive, personable and went above and beyond to make our fur baby feel loved while we were away. We had complete peace of mind! I would highly recommend Michelle and plan to use her services in the future.

I saw an ad on craigslist for a 7 month old male white boxer and I had to have him! He was crazy, we were his 4th home and it was easy to understand why. He was a little aggressive for being a puppy, he could jump the 6 ft tall fence and he had a taste for remotes and eye glasses. Because he was so out of control, the previous owner had left him in the kennel for hours a day. He needed love, and we were determined to provide it! A couple weeks after becoming his parents, and actually questioning ourselves at that point, we had a vacation to go on and needed a dog sitter. We weren't sure who could handle him because he was so out of control! My mom attempted, but she was no match for the rambunctious "Paco". I called on Michelle to see if she was up for the challenge; and boy was she! She handled him like a pro and gave him love to combat his obnoxious behaviors. She wasn't afraid of him and rewarded him with amazing hikes and car rides! She sent us pictures of him out in the woods, at the lake and with one eye barley open after an adventurous day of fun! She is by far the best, and the only person, I ask to watch him while we are away. When she is not available we reconsider our travel dates; yes that's how awesome she is! She cares for Paco like he is her own and has even come to "borrow" him for a hike when we are in town. I sometimes think he loves her more than he loves me and know that if he had a choice he'd choose her...(he stares at the door when she leaves). If you need an amazing, responsible sitter who will spend time with your dog and treat him like family, Michelle is your girl!
