Reviews
My husband and I were very happy and impressed by Michelle taking care of our dogs. We have two little terriers, and when we got home we could see they had really gotten attached to Michelle. We met with Michelle prior to our trip and we both really liked her vibe, and more importantly the dogs liked her too. She even watered our plants … she is a true caretaker. Thank you Michelle. We highly recommend her.
Michelle Spurling did an incredible job of caring taking our dogs while we were gone for 3 weeks. The dogs seemed mellow when we got home and not anxious. While we were abroad Michelle also did house sitting for us, and she is very trustworthy. When we texted her she was very responsive and sent us pictures of the dogs sitting on the couch, in the bed, in their dog bed … just happy dogs.
No one—and I mean no one—can take better care of pets than Michelle. She would get up at 2 a.m. to make sure all the pets around her are well taken care of. Her love for animals is as tender and boundless as it gets. If you’re thinking about entrusting your pet to Michelle, go for it. She’ll treat them just as they deserve—with great expertise, patience, and care.
I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a devoted, responsible, and loving pet caregiver! Michelle is highly organized, aware, and intuitive— qualities amounting to a professional offering that is simultaneously thoughtful, flexible and quality-of-life oriented. I would trust Michelle for her mindfulness, commitment to detail, and deep capacity to connect with animals.
