Michelle can care for
Availability
My schedule is open and flexible at this time. My lifestyle has allowed for me to maintain a pretty open schedule and take work as needed. I also work part time nannying positions, but this should not interfere with scheduling.

Animal lover & house sitter
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Michelle ~ Experienced nanny, sitter and animal lover! Two decades plus experience caring for families and animals. Experienced in dog walking, schedules, animal feedings and house sitting. A lil background about me ~ I am a retired elementary teacher switching careers into Counseling/Therapy, starting school this Fall 2026. My partner and I have a sweet labradoodle named Bliss and and a plump elderly cat named Elvira. We have rescued and cared for dogs and 4 plus cats together. I have a huge heart for elderly cats/dogs and those that are shy of personality. Let me know if your animal takes time to warm up! I am patient, compassionate and a natural caretaker at heart. Alternatively, I love the playful and outgoing ones too! I have experience in administering medications also, especially with Elderly or finicky cats as I have cared for many of my own.
Reviews
Michelle has been great! Very professional and great communication. We also love all the pictures and videos!
Michelle is one of the most compassionate, caring, attentive, and genuinely animal-loving people I have ever known. Caring for animals is not just something she does, it is really a part of who she is. Dogs and cats have always been part of her family, and she treats every animal with extraordinary patience, kindness, and love. She has cared for multiple cats from kittenhood through their senior years, including through complex health issues and age-related challenges. She consistently went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and deeply cared for, even during difficult stages of illness when many people may not have been willing to put in the same level of time and energy. There is absolutely no one I would trust more with my own dog when I am traveling. Any pet owner would be incredibly lucky to have her looking after their pets!
Michelle cared for my dogs when I was out of town for a week. One of my dogs is really nervous and she stayed the night so he would feel safe. She is very caring, has experience with senior animals and giving them medication too. One of our older pups requires daily meds. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to care for your animals! She treats them like humans! Thank you for all you do Michelle!
