Top-Notch Pet Sitting You Can Trust
(Please note; I don’t charge for additional pets! If your quote looks outrageous please contact me it could be an error.) "With over 10 years of professional pet care experience, and 25+ years with my own pets, I provide reliable, loving, and personalized attention for your furry family members. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medication, I ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and comfortable while you're away. Trust me to treat your pets like my own!" My house sitting hours are all day with overnight stays 20 hours out of 24 hours in a day your pet will always have company and cuddles! Starting from the time you need me until the last day up to just a few hours before you return. This has seemed to work out better for many clients schedules, flights and/or vacation plans.I still offer just overnights from 7pm-7am if that works for you we can make arrangements tailored to you and the needs of your pets! I have over 25 years of experience in caring for all types of pets from dogs, cats, birds and even reptiles! Growing up as a kid we had many different pets, even exotics! I owned a Pet Care business for several years, and earned 5 star reviews and awards for providing the best care for your pets. I am honest, reliable, dependable and punctual. Being a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to be there for them when you can’t; they are family no matter if it’s a dog, cat, birds or fish.. they all have a place in your heart and it’s my calling to make sure they’re safe and taken care of properly. My main goal is to provide what you need for your pet: walking, feeding, playtime and even giving medication, if needed, as directed by you and your vet. So everything goes smoothly and worry free while you’re away. You’ll even get pictures and text messages with updates on a daily basis! I treat every pet like they are my own pets; tender loving care is what all pets deserve; they love their owners unconditionally and that's what they will get in return from me! Visits are done in your home because statistics show that pets feel more secure and comfortable in their own familiar surroundings which causes them to have less stress. A little bit about my furry family.. We have two Siberian Huskies and an Alaskan Malamute, and used to breed them about 15 years ago. I worked as a kennel tech a few years ago, went through puppy training so I have gained a lot of experience teaching and training.. I offer an initial free meet & greet to meet with you and your pet to assess your needs and to get acquainted with you and your pet(s). If you prefer we can do video chat too! But I would like to interact with your pets beforehand. By choosing me, not only are you getting professional care but also someone that cares about your pets and their well-being. I go that extra mile to ensure you and your pet(s) are safe and happy. So, you don't have to worry while you're away on vacation or business, your pets are in great hands! New to Rover? Just let me know and I can get you a coupon code to save on your first booking! I look forward to meeting with you and your furry family!!

Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to visit with your pet in your home. It’s a lot less stressful and safer for them to be left in their own familiar surroundings when possible. When I visit I follow your instructions as to what is needed. Of course this varies from visit to visit depending on the schedule you have for them. Before I leave I make sure they’re safe and secure. I know what it’s like to leave your pet at home and the worries that come with it. You can trust that I will be there for them so you can leave your worries behind too!
Ratings and reviews
Michelle house sit for my 2 dogs and 2 cats for several nights. She took such great care of my pets, from giving them plenty of outside playtime, to giving them lots of human companionship, to following all my care instructions perfectly and communicating with me daily. You can tell she’s very experienced with pet care! Thanks Michelle for sharing all the photos and watching over my fur babies!
Michelle’s the best - she always takes such great care of all of our animals! 🥰
Michelle did an amazing job with pet and house sitting. Her communication was excellent and it was clear my dog was happy from the regular pictures she sent. Would highly recommend Michelle.
Michelle came highly recommended by a my daughters family that moved away, but felt very safe leaving their pets in her care. She books up fast and for good reason! She has a real gift with animals, in our case, dogs. She came to meet our pup and asked her to show her around. She pet on her and engaged with all of us. One of our dogs has separation anxiety and Michelle took it in stride. Gave both dogs lots of love and even put up with a lot of lab snoring! She watched our house as well, and checked mail and brought in packages. A couple of odd things happened (because it’s technology!) that she alerted us about, which I was grateful for. She communicated often but not annoying. Sent pictures that were sweet and gave us some pointers on things she tried that improved their behavior. And they are still working! She seemed to really enjoy being at our place which we are thrilled about, because we definitely plan on using her a lot more. The house was spotless, and nothing was destroyed by anxious dogs, which happens no matter how hard we try. I feel like we have not only a great dog and house sitter, but hopefully a future friend, because she’s just that awesome!
Michelle’s the best! This is the second time Michelle has cared for all of our pets (3 dogs, bearded dragon & snake) while we were on vacation. Always attentive, punctual, great at communicating and our pets love her!
Michelle, Was on time gave good reports and showed concern for Bayley when it appeared she was not eating has Michelle expected. I would use her services again.

Schedule
I am available anytime pet care is what I do! Unless I have other clients scheduled, on occasion so schedule flexibility is important mostly because of traffic and travel time. I started my own company again and keep my Rover calendar updated however, sometimes it doesn’t update correctly. Best thing to do is contact me.
