Pet care experience
Hello, I'm Michelle a former labrador mum to Chuck (the handsome boy in my photo) for ten years. I am originally from England and I am active duty military. I am flexible around shiftsand holidays my services are designed to be a flexible house sitting, drop in and dog walking service in the Hampton Roads area. I am available in Virginia Beach / Norfolk and surrounding areas. My passions are for the outdoors, reading, movies, travelling and history. My favourite thing is reading a book whilst cuddling with a dog and coffee after a long walk or game of chuck it /Fetch . I began house sitting with my labrador Chuck when he was a puppy to socialise him properly with people and other dogs. We travelled together to different parts of the UK offering house sitting (including cleaning the home for the owners return) alongside caring for the owners dogs in the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, Wales and Sotland.
Reviews
Michelle took great care of our Spaniel Arthur while we were back in the UK. We were given regular updates on what they had been up to, including photos and Facebook posts. I would not hesitate in recommending Michelle as a caregiver for any dog. Michelle is a natural dog lover and you fur baby will be in the safest of hands.
I’m a full time Veterrinarian student and during my one year professional placement Michelle offered to walk my 6 year old border collie, Blue. Blue went to days out with Michelle and her own dog, Chuck. Being a high energy breed Blue needed lots of exercise and he certainly got that with Michelle and Chuck. He enjoyed days out to theLake District, lots of tennis ball throwing in the parks and Michelle didn’t even mind that he was obsessed with finding water to jump in! Michelle tended to all of Blue’s needs, was conciencous about his dietary requirements. I received regular pictures of Blue enjoying walks, cuddled on the sofa with Michelle and / or her own dog. She always had her own poop bags & extra carrot sticks for the dogs. 5 Stars Michelle, Good Luck and enjoy the USA.
Michelle has taken care of my eight year old Yellow Lab a few times and I have nothing but good things to say about her. She always walks her and throws the ball for her and checks her water and bedding to make sure she is comfortable. She also will sit with her and cuddle with her and pet her to make sure she is ok.

Temperament with other dogs. If the dog has any allergies. Whether the dog requires any medication during the sitting. Feeding and treats for the dog (schedule/restrictions/specific treats). I am very fond of cocker spaniels and Yorkshire Terriers.
A typical day
Agility and dog park visits, oceanfront walks, Mount Trashmoor. We will spend a lot of time playing Chuck It / Fetch - I provide my own tennis balls and poop bags for walks & drop in visits. I take a water bottle & collapsible water bowl on walks.
