WFH - Dog and long walk lover!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Michelle and I love all things dogs, animals and walks outside! My family rescued a Beagle/Labrador mix puppy and raised him for 15 long years. I have been working fully remote since moving to Philadelphia with a schedule that allows for caretaking and giving your dog attention throughout the day. Would love to schedule a meet and greet with new clients! I have experience dog sitting at homes in suburbia as well as in New York City. My caregiving has ranged from young energetic dogs, to older aged friends, as well as animals who have needed speciality care with medications or other needs. The size range of dogs I have cared for include small, medium, and large dogs. My building has an easy-access rooftop dog park where your dog can enjoy playtime in the open air while staying with me. Additionally, I live a short walk away from Schuylkill River Dog Run, Rittenhouse Square, LOVE Park and Fairmount. I love to take long walks outside and would love a furry friend to take along the way!

Michelle was so great. We were able to book a couple days super last minute and she was one of the most accommodating sitters we’ve had. Five stars!

Michelle was so kind and a great sitter. My dog has really bad anxiety and Michelle was totally patient with her and took extra steps to try to make her comfortable. She went above and beyond and took my dog outside more than enough times as well. Also she was really great w communication the whole time.

Michelle took care of my two German Shepards for over two weeks and I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker! She immediately connected with both dogs by being patient, allowing them to get comfortable with her, and respecting their boundaries (that loosened over time as they grew to lover her!). She has a delicate way of connecting with dogs while also maintaining her authority to ensure appropriate behavior, stop any fighting between the two and of course make sure they don’t go chewing or digging anywhere they shouldn’t! Her communication was extensive - I’d often check my phone and find two or three pictures or videos just letting me know what the pups were up to that day. She also adhered exactly to their (complicated) feeding schedule and routine and didn’t hesitate to answer any of my questions or concerns if I saw something on the pet cam I wondered about. I highly recommend Michelle for both her talent with animals and genuine desire to befriend them as well as her reliability and communication!

My building is very pet friendly, offering a dog park on the rooftop and nearby parks at walking distance. My home can accommodate crates if needed, and my furniture is pet friendly as well. I will be close by keeping your fur friend company while I work remotely throughout the work day.

I work as a consultant M-F, 9-5, and work fully remote. My schedule is flexible during the workday, allowing to take your dog up to our dog park rooftop or to a nearby park for fresh air and potty breaks. In the early mornings or evenings, I am available for longer walks around the city or your area. I am very flexible on weekends and can accommodate any schedule needed.
