The Best Care for Your Best Friend!
Pet care experience
“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.” – Roger Caras. I am a big animal lover, and my partner will tell you that I can't help but get excited whenever I see a dog walking down the street! I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens, and it was often my responsibility to feed and care for them, which I loved! I've been trusted by many friends and family members to look after and care for their beloved pets. I have many years of experience caring for my own family pets as well as caring for other peoples' cats and dogs. I have cared for dogs in their early puppy years as well as dogs that are 15+ years old. I have experience with walking, feeding, and playing with dogs, and I would consider myself an expert at giving love, pets, and cuddles. I also have experience taking care of kittens and cats, which includes keeping litter boxes tidy, feeding, playing, and cuddling. People have trusted me to stay at their house to care for their pets, and have also trusted to leave their pets at my home. I would describe myself as easy going, reliable, exuberant, and responsible. I love being outdoors either hiking, camping, or just adventuring in general. My partner and I adopted a dog in 2019. Her name is Clove and she's brought so much joy into our lives. We have worked hard to train and socialize her to make sure she has become the good dog citizen that she is. I've also come to realize that as a dog owner it's so important to have someone who you can trust to take care of your best friend, and I would love to provide that service for those in need, giving the best care for your best friend.
Reviews
Amazing dog sitter! Kept us updated the whole time and sent us lots of photos. 10/10 would recommend!
Michelle is the best and my fur babies adore her!
Michelle was absolutely wonderful with our rescue pup and rabbit! She sent daily pictures and lots of updates as the time went on and we even came home to clean sheets. Michelle went above and beyond!
Michelle is wonderful with our big girl! Paloma is working on some reactivity but she quickly learned to love and trust Michelle!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am a very responsible person and when caring for pets at my client's home I always make sure everything is secure, doors locked, gates secured, and pets on leash if walking the neighborhood. If pets have special diets or needs I am sure to tend to those. I greatly respect other people's spaces when staying there and treat their home as if it was my own.
Information Michelle P. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the dogs temperament and if they are friendly with other dogs and people and what kind of habits they have. I'd also like to know if the dog has any allergies or medical issues that I need to be aware of. It's also helpful to have a note about house rules and expectations for house sitting.
A typical day
I live in the Sam Hughes Neighborhood of Tucson which is a great area for walking dogs. There's lots of great smells to check out and Himmel Park just a 15 minute walk away where there's lots of grass to run across and roll in. I love to cuddle pets and play with them! If I pet sit for you, your pets will be sure to be spoiled with fun and love!

I currently get to create my own schedule and hours, so I have lots of room in my schedule for pet sitting and pet care. I am free 7 days a week and am able to provide dog walking services, drop in visits, and house sitting services.
