I currently work from home, which allows me to be flexible with my schedule. A typical visit is long walks, lots of playtime, indoor and outdoor, to get any energy out. I will give lots of pets and belly rubs and treats - if okay with you. I will tailor any activities based on what your pet needs. I will give each pet special attention and love, making sure they are happy while you're away.

I offer walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I will make sure your fur babies stick to their normal routine and I will care for them as if they were my own. I will update you with pictures and daily reports on how your pet is doing. It is helpful to know if your pet has any special needs, medications, or just needs a little extra attention, I am happy to accommodate. I would like to know what their favorite activities are and any behavioral quirks they may have. I want to make sure that I am well informed so that I can give the best care to your pet(s) while you're away.

Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet

Anything unique about your pets personality? How do they get along with other animals? (especially other dogs) What is your pets routine like? Are they taking any medication? Any specific time? Favorite toys or treats? The more information I have about your pet(s), the better care I can give them.

A typical day

I will take long walks, go to parks, play fetch, and get any excess energy out. If your animal(s) are more low energy, I will enjoy lots of snuggles.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Michelle, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even the occasional small pet. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or making sure mealtime and medications are handled just right, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience administering medication, as I have a pet of my own that requires special care. I have been around animals my entire life and even volunteered at the Humane Society for a few years. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I’m committed to providing care that makes them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. From energetic pups who need extra playtime to senior pets who deserve gentle care, I adapt to what your furry family member needs most. I'm currently unable to host dogs and cats at my house, but I am available for home drop-ins visits and walks. You can count on me for: Daily walks, playtime, and exercise Feeding and medication (if needed) Lots of cuddles and attention Regular updates and photos so you feel connected Peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands

Michelle is the best! She’s reliable and caring. She went above-and-beyond in caring for our cat and home. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Michelle did an excellent job of taking care of my cat for a few days when I was away. There was great communication including detailed notes and photos throughout. Even went above and beyond to clean up a couple smaller messes made by that. Would choose to work with her again any time.

I am so grateful that I found Michelle. She is such a loving pet sitter. My dogs love her! She always follows instructions to the tea. She takes the most beautiful photos, and I love to read her descriptions of how did, they read like the adventures of Jack and Ruby lol. She is very thoughtful and goes above and beyond such as washing dishes that were used that she didn’t need to do. She’s really exceptional. I highly recommend her for any of your Pet-Sitting needs.
