Safety, trust & environment

As I currently have a large dog in a small apartment, I am not available for daycare, boarding or house sitting. However, I am more than happy to do drop in visits or dog walks! I would love to do a meet and greet first so you and your pets can meet me and I can get a lay of the land. This ensures the smoothest pet sitting experience moving forward!

Information Michelle R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any triggers or things to watch out for, as well as house rules! If your pet isn’t allowed on couches, beds, or certain rooms, I’ll stay consistent with the rules you have in place. But also please let me know how I can best bond with your pet! I want the least disruptive experience for them while you’re away. Finally, please let me know of any allergies or medical needs!! Thoroughly completing your pet’s profile is very helpful.

A typical day

Please tell me about your pet’s favorite toys, activities, treats, and places to walk! I can run around with a high energy pup or sit and provide gentle pets on the couch- whichever they prefer.

Communicative & Trustworthy Dog Mom

Pet care experience

Hello, and thank you for considering me as your potential pet sitter! I am dedicated to giving your pet(s) the best possible care and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. My first job was working in the kennels at VCA Animal Hospital, and I later helped raise my family dog, Kobe, for 16 years before he passed. I now have a 3-year-old Boxer/Pyrenees mix with IBD so I am experienced with large breeds and administering medications. I am a dog and cat lover as well as a people person, so I prioritize making everyone feel safe and taken care of while respecting your space and boundaries. I always invite you to tell me how I can make you and your pets more comfortable.
