Dog-loving, active and fun!

Pet care experience

I grew up with family dogs (a pom-chi, mutt, and black lab), so I know all the ins and outs of taking care of dogs and keeping them happy. I currently have a 2 year old Pomsky named Zeus. I absolutely love all dogs and am excited to meet yours!

Michelle helped us out with a couple of drop-ins for our bulldog while we were out of town. He is a notoriously stubborn walker (as in he just doesn't want to go on walks) but she was able to take him out for a bit before feeding him.

Michelle was great! Super responsive, attentive and made my pup so happy! :) Would definitely book with her again.

Michelle is our go to dog sitter in the city. Our dog is Yorkie with a Napoleon complex so he can definitely be a handful. We can't do traditional boarding/pack situations because of his poor attitude with other dogs. So we prefer to try and find sitters who homestsay/take one client at a time. Michelle has always been so gracious, kind, and patient with us and our little old man! I highly recommend her because she's so reliable and tolerant of all our dog's odd quirks. She sends photos so I always know he's doing awesome during the times that we're away. I would love photos more often, but that's only because I'm a psychotic dog mom.

I've left my dog with Michelle on two separate occasions, and she's been amazing both times! The first time my dog was unfortunately having some gastrointestinal issues, and Michelle was so kind, patient, and understanding. She kept me posted on everything, didn't complain once about the associated additional clean up, and even made Halley chicken and rice to make sure she wasn't starving! Our second booking with Michelle was thankfully incident free. She was so understanding and accommodating with drop off and pick up, and I felt extremely at ease knowing that my dog was being well looked after. Thanks, Michelle, for treating my dog as if she were your own. You're amazing!
