Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet

Please make sure you let me know any information about your dog that will be helpful to me for their stay. Anything that will make their stay happier is very helpful.

A typical day

We will go for plenty of walks in my neighborhood and hang out in the backyard. My dogs love to play so we'll get in a lot of outdoor time.

Pet care experience

Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit while you're at work, or a comfortable place to stay while you're away, I'd love to help! I truly enjoy caring for dogs and treat every one as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages, but I especially love working with senior dogs. I'm patient, understand that older dogs often need a slower pace, and I'm comfortable giving medications and following special care routines. During walks, I focus on your dog's individual needs, whether that's an energetic adventure or a slow, relaxed stroll. For drop-in visits, I'll make sure your dog gets fresh water, meals, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention. If your dog is boarding with me, they'll be treated like part of the family, with lots of love, exercise, and a safe, comfortable environment. There's nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a happy dog. My goal is always to give you peace of mind, knowing your dog is in caring, dependable hands while you're away.

Michelle was a fantastic sitter for our sweet kitty! She was very patient with us when we had some issues with the app during booking, and was quickly available to come over for a tour even though we were only a few days away from our trip. She was very communicative before, during, and after her visit and we came home to a very happy kitty! Thank you Michelle!

Michelle has been walking our senior pittie mix, Kayla, for several weeks. She’s been super reliable, punctual, and a total pleasure to work with :)
