Availability

I’m a photographer, which means my busiest time is usually golden hour — that sweet spot right before sunset. The rest of the day? Totally flexible. I make my own schedule and mostly shoot local sessions, so I’m never far from home (or from your pup!). I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, and all the belly rubs in between.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like they’re my own—snuggles, walks, belly rubs, and yes, a lot of photos. (Perks of hiring a photographer as your sitter!) Whether I’m in your home or mine, I keep their routine consistent and their tail wagging. I’ll send you photo updates so you can see their happy face while you’re away. I’m especially great with big dogs, seniors, and rescues who just need a little extra love and patience.

Information Michelle N. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if your dog will bark or be anxious when I arrive. I have no problem doing a meet and greet before you book.

A typical day

7am is a walk with my dog. Then home to eat breakfast and check email. Then out the door for some errands. Then I am ready for my pet visits. I try to take new routes for my buddies so they get new smells every day. If we can walk near the water and watch the birds, even better.

Local, reliable animal lover

Pet care experience

I’ve had animals my entire life—dogs, cats, even a few rescued bunnies from my childhood in rural Canada. Over the years, I’ve volunteered at more than five shelters across the country and even served as their photographer, helping showcase adoptable pets so they could find forever homes. We adopted a cat in June 2025. Her name is Astra and she is a talker!! She loves to cuddle on your lap when you are watching TV too! March 28, 2026 We are currently fostering 5 year old Parker from the El Dorado County shelter hoping to become his forever home. He is a super sweet and smart dogs. He just needs some manners. My heart has always had a soft spot for older dogs; my last two rescues, Barney (a Swiss Mountain Dog) and Lucky (a German Shepherd/Collie mix), were both adopted as adults from the Camarillo Shelter. I’m comfortable with big breeds, senior pups, and rescues who need a little extra understanding. Whether it’s walks, meds, playtime, or just quiet company, I’ll treat your pet like my own.
