Home
Information Michelle O. would like to know about your pet
I have 2 children - 4 and 7 - who are amazing with dogs and cats (and all animals really!) and I have 2 cats. I would like to know your pet’s temperament around kids and cats. I’m always happy to give time and space to allow your pet to adjust to their new setting, as I love spending time with animals to help them calmly settle in.
A typical day
Early walks: Start the day with pups who need a potty break before their owners head to work. Often these are energetic leash walks or quick drop-ins for feeding and playtime. • Check the app: Review the day’s bookings, confirm times, and send “good morning” updates to pet parents if needed. ⸻ ☀️ Midday • Drop-in visits: These might include feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, or just keeping lonely pets company. • Midday walks: The busiest time! Many dogs need exercise and bathroom breaks while owners are at work. Sitters send photo updates and notes after each walk. ⸻ 🌆 Afternoon & Evening • Repeat walks/visits: Some pets need two or three check-ins per day. • Medication or special care: Sitters may give pills, injections, or extra help for senior pets. • Extended care: Evening might mean dinner feeding, long walks, or just couch cuddles for pets missing their families. ⸻ 🌙 Overnight • House sitting/boarding: For overnight stays, the sitter winds down with the pet, keeps the home secure, and ensures bedtime routines (last potty break, crate time, or snuggles).

Reviews
Michelle was great for my cats. She could extend the days when my trip changed and followed the instructions properly.
Michelle did a great job and communicated throughout the stay. I would absolutely ask her to watch my pup any time!
Duke had a great time with Michelle & her kids. She kept me updated and we’ll definitely book again :)
Michelle was amazing with Lani while we were traveling in Europe. She was super accommodating, even extending her stay by an extra week when our plans changed, which we really appreciated. She was communicative the whole time and kept us updated with photos of Lani exploring the outdoors, playing with other dogs, and just generally having the best time. Her home felt really warm and welcoming - Lani got along great with her and her family, and she felt right at home. 10/10 would recommend Michelle - Lani is already excited to stay with her again!
