Highlights
Pet care experience
Lots of love to give
Hello! My name is Michelle, and I'm a psychology grad student with a great love and affection for pets. I have a Fox Terrier named Luka, who's very used to being around other dogs. I live near several parks in the area and I love to exercise, I usually walk my dog at least twice a day; If your dog doesn't get along with others (or if you prefer), I can take them on solo walks. I connect well with dogs and am patient when it comes to building trust, sometimes affection is earned through perseverance and respect. I am quite responsible, you can feel at ease leaving your furry companion with me. I understand that each dog has different needs and personalities and with your guidance, I will provide the best care possible. If you need time for yourself or are going out of town for a few days, I’m available for daily walks or to care for your pet, either at your home or mine. If you're in need of a caregiver, please don’t hesitate to contact me! I would be more than delighted to help.

Ratings and reviews
Michele was so loving and wonderful with our dog a five-year-old sheep doodle. He is very attached and I could tell she made him feel very comfortable and safe. We got pictures and felt good the whole time while he was away. We will definitely use Michele again!
Michelle was an excellent caretaker: thoughtful, communicative, thorough. Our pup was very happy after staying the week with her! Highly recommend!
Excellent care, as always! This is our 4th or 5th time keeping our goldendoodle with Michelle and always a great, consistent experience. Highly recommend!
Michelle is a wonderful sitter. She is incredibly communicative, takes the upmost care for the doggies in her care, as well as flexible with her scheduling. The quality of care is definitely worth the price!
Michelle has been lovingly caring for our boy since 2020. Huck adores her because she has a special bond with him. She is always punctual and attentive. We trust her completely with our beloved pet and our home. Sometimes, she stays with him, and other times, she gently takes him to her place. Long walks, joyful moments, and an abundance of love — that's what she gives. We are truly grateful for her kindness and wholeheartedly recommend her services.
Michelle is the best pet carer in the neighbourhood. She is warm, kind and reliable. Our dog is always happy to see her, and has also developed a friendship with Michelles own dog. We feel safe to leave our whippet with them when we are away!

Schedule
Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I typically start my mornings with a walk for Luka. I make sure to dedicate at least three walks daily for each dog, ensuring they get enough physical activity and socialization.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment for pets. I maintain a consistent feeding schedule, provide fresh water, and ensure that any special dietary needs are met. If I’m caring for a pet in their home, I follow their routine closely, including feeding, exercise, and any specific care instructions. Communication is key, so I keep pet owners updated with messages or photos.

A typical day
I love to keep pets engaged and active! In addition to regular walks, I enjoy playing fetch and exploring local parks. I can incorporate training games to stimulate their minds and teach them new tricks, as well as offer plenty of cuddle time for those that enjoy it!
