Highlights
Pet care experience
Gentle guidance, happy pups
I bring calm patience and a sharp eye for body language—making every pup feel safe and understood. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I know how to meet their needs at every stage, whether it’s gentle play, careful walks, or administering medication with skill and care. I can tailor my care to your pooches needs.

Ratings and reviews
Michelle was great with a drop in visit for my dog, who can be nervous around new folks. She was punctual and communicative and gave Martini lots of snuggles. Would recommend and will def book again!!
Michelle did a great job taking care of Gus and sent many great pics! Thank you!
A big thanks to Michelle! Good to know my kitty is well taken care of while I’m away.
I am so grateful for Michelle, who takes care of my older dog Asher, while I am away. I have so much confidence in her! I am a happy and thankful repeat client. I highly recommend Michelle!!
Always great to have a sitter who loves my dog as much as me!
Michelle did an amazing job taking care of our cat! She sent great photos too!

Pets
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).
