WFH Dog Lover You Can Trust ⭐
I’ve been caring for dogs for over 3 years and am a dedicated dog mom to my 3 year old French bulldog, Kree. She’s very playful, well-socialized, and gets along great with other dogs, so I’m very familiar with maintaining a safe and fun environment for pets with different personalities. I live an active lifestyle and make sure dogs in my care get daily exercise, attention, and lots of love. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day, I treat every pet like my own. I work from home, so I’m able to be very attentive and present. I also understand that every pet has unique needs, whether that’s crate training, specific routines, or extra patience and I’m happy to follow your preferences to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for.

Ratings and reviews
Michelle has been so great with my sweet Paris that even though we don’t need her services often, Paris gets excited the moment we pull up (knowing exactly where we are) and is never sad to see me leave, lol! She’s happy when I pick her up but has clearly had a great time with Michelle and any other pups around. Michelle has simply been amazing to work with as she’s navigated some of my own challenging schedule issues with grace during an already difficult time. I am so grateful.
Michelle is the best! She sends so many updates in pictures throughout the day and also give the cutest goodie bag at the end. She is so kind and great with dogs!
Michelle was absolutely amazing with my baby! She watched her for two nights while I was away on business travel, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, responded promptly, and every single picture she sent had my baby smiling! 🥹❤️ I could tell she was safe, happy, and getting plenty of activity and attention. Michelle also had all of my baby’s things organized and ready to go when I arrived for pickup, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind being away. I would definitely trust Michelle with my baby again! 🐾💕 Book with her.
Michelle took on a very big task of keeping all four of my Littles and she was amazing with them. I don’t think they wanted to leave.!
Michelle is a dog whisperer! She watched our 5 month puppy for a week and he came back more well mannered than when he left! She taught him new tricks, helped us figure out his feeding routine, and loved on him so well! She has an amazing aura and is so great with dogs! And with all the updates and pictures, we didn’t have to miss our sweet pup too much bc we knew he was in amazing hands. 10 stars, would def recommend and cannot speak higher of her!
Reba had a wonderful time with Michelle. Michelle provided many great pics of Reba. Reba even got a goodie bag to go, so sweet and thoughtful.

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, doggy day care, and walks during both weekdays and weekends. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m also happy to coordinate walks or visits based on your pet’s routine. I’d like to bring my dog along for walks for socialization and exercise, as long as your pet is comfortable with that.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in an apartment but have a clean, pet-friendly environment and a balcony potty station available for quick breaks. I also make sure dogs get regular walks and exercise daily. I have a crate-trained dog, and for safety and structure, I do require that dogs staying with me are comfortable being crated at night. However, I always follow owner preferences when it comes to routines, feeding, and care. Since I do have a dog in my home and occasionally care for multiple dogs at a time, it’s important that your pet is friendly and comfortable around other dogs. I carefully monitor all interactions to ensure a safe and positive environment for everyone. For the health and safety of all pets in my care, I do require that dogs are up to date on vaccinations (including Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella) and are on flea/tick prevention. Please let me know if you have any questions about this—I’m happy to chat! I understand trusting someone new with your pet can feel like a big step, but I will treat your pet with the same love, care, and attention I give my own.

A typical day
A typical day with me includes lots of attention, play, and structure. Since I work from home, your pup will have a “coworker” by their side all day, just like my dog, Kree, who loves relaxing nearby or enjoying a toy or bone while I work. We take daily walks (at least a mile) and get plenty of playtime throughout the day. I also have access to a gated dog park in my complex where dogs can safely run around and burn off energy. It’s usually quiet, which makes it perfect for stress-free playtime before heading back home to relax. I make sure every dog gets a good balance of activity, rest, and affection so they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.

- Please let me know about your pet’s routine, temperament, and any special needs ahead of time so I can provide the best care possible. I’d love to know things like feeding schedules, energy levels, triggers, and how they interact with other dogs. Since I do have a dog in my home, it’s important that your pet is friendly and comfortable around other dogs. I also require dogs to be crate trained and able to sleep in a crate at night for safety and structure. If your pet has any medical needs, behavioral concerns, or specific preferences, I’m happy to accommodate as long as I’m informed in advance!
