Highlights
Pet care experience
Pamper & play-the doggie dreamstay!
I grew up in the Midwest with a menagerie of dogs - Dachshunds, an Airedale terrier and a variety of rescue dogs (many with serious anxiety issues). Since then I have worked for Capital Petsitters and and have fostered for Lucky Dog and Homeward Trials and have fostered, rescued and owned nearly 100 dogs. I would love to have a dog of my own more, but I work full time in the international sector and with my travel schedule it would be unkind to get a dog. The good news is I am ready to shower your pup with all the love and attention that I have pent up! I have dog bowls for food and water (I like to throw in some ice cubes for fun), a super comfy dog bed and freshly-cleaned fuzzy blankets for pups to snuggle up on the furniture. I live one block away from the West End dog park as well as a ton of great trails.

Ratings and reviews
Ivy had another great stay with Michelle! She takes such good care of her and keeps me updated on what they are up to :) Ivy didn’t want to leave and I’m sure she’ll be back soon
The absolute best!! Blu loves Michelle and Jeremy like family.
Just like last time, Michelle and Jeremy were prompt, responsive, understanding, and reliable. They provided daily updates, pictures, and videos! They took my girl for a hike (after asking my permission!). They were even very gracious when I misread my return travel plans, and had to watch my did for an additional few hours! Highly recommend them to watch your loved 4-legged family!
Michelle and Jeremy were lifesavers! We had a sitter fall through for our wedding and they were able to watch our dog at the last minute and did an amazing job. They took such good care of Ivy and were even able to take her even more at the last minute when we went on our honeymoon a few days later. I can tell that Ivy was well cared for and appreciated all of the updates from Michelle. They are now going to be our go to sitters any time we need one for Ivy.
Michelle and Jeremy are the best!! We couldn’t ask for better sitters for our fur Baby Blu!! Highly recommend.
Michelle and Jeremy were amazing dog sitters and we feel really lucky to have found them! They took great care of Gizmo and communicated with us throughout his stay with them.

Schedule
I own my own business and work from home full time so am easily available to spend lots of time with your pup. Regular walks are a wonderful excuse to take a work break :-)
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are hugely important to me. I always offer an in-person or virtual meet and greet with new clients and I am almost always available via phone/text or email in real-time. Pets are members of the family so I consider the responsibility of taking care of your pet the same as taking care of a child or loved one.
A typical day
I live one block away from the West End dog park if you’re pup is friendly! Rest assured I’ll only take your dog here if we discuss it in advance, but some social pups really love the experience.
