Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, Experienced Pet Sitter
Hi! I'm Michelle. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. For over 15 years, I’ve provided trusted house sitting and pet care for friends, families, and long-term clients who rely on me not just to watch their pets — but to truly care for them. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including: • Puppies who need structure and consistency • High-energy dogs who need engagement and exercise • Senior dogs who require patience and gentle care • Dogs who require oral medications and routine-based care I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine while you’re away. I prioritize consistency, safety, and emotional comfort so your dog feels secure and stress-free. I’m attentive to behavior changes, eating habits, and overall well-being — because the little details matter. Beyond pet care, I treat every home with respect and professionalism. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind through clear communication, updates, and dependable care every time. If you’re looking for someone experienced, calm, and truly invested in your pet’s happiness, I’d love to help.

Safety, trust & environment
In My Home (Boarding): If boarding in my home, I provide a calm, structured, and supervised environment. Because I have a flexible schedule, pets are not left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, and engagement throughout the day. I maintain their normal feeding routine, exercise schedule, and any medication needs to keep them comfortable and stress-free. My goal is to make them feel like they’re on a safe, cozy vacation — not in a kennel. In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins): When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medication, crate routines, and household preferences. Staying in their familiar environment helps reduce stress, especially for senior dogs or pets with anxiety. For drop-ins, I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, exercise or playtime, affection, and a wellness check. For house sitting, I provide consistent companionship and supervision so your pet feels secure while you’re away. In every situation, I prioritize safety, routine, communication, and treating both your pet and your home with respect.
