Home full-time - loving dog care!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Michelle and I can't wait to sit your dog! I love dogs, big and small, and they've always been a huge part of my life. I've always been around dogs and cared for them, so becoming a pet sitter seemed like a no brainer! If your dog needs a walk, or a buddy to spend some time with them, you've come to the right place. You won't have to worry about your pet being lonely, because I am home full time! I have a huge fenced in yard, and when your pet comes to stay with me, they won't just have human companionship, but some doggy friends too! I have a 3 year old King Cav-Poodle mix, a 7 year old Labradoodle, and a 6 month old German Shepherd, all of whom love humans and other dogs! These three furballs run my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way. We spend our days taking long walks, and playing in the backyard, and we'd love to have your dog along too! As a pet owner, I know how hard it is to leave your dog behind. Your furry friend will be completely safe with me, aside from being home full time, I'm also certified in Canine CPR/First Aid. I've attended several obedience classes with my own dogs and have pet sat regularly for friends and family. I'm caring, active, and organized, which makes me the perfect pet sitter. I absolutely love dogs and ensuring they're happy, I make a commitment to be active with them (a tired dog is a happy dog) and I'm organized, so I'll be sure your dog sticks to their usual routine. When I'm not pet sitting, I love just hanging out at home. I enjoy cooking, watching a good movie, and being active (which usually involves my dogs). I'm so excited to meet you and your dog, please reach out to me if you have questions or any special requests.

Michelle is a wonderful and responsible dog walker! She always shows up with a smile on her face. Our dog loves his walks with Michelle!

I really thought I found a match with Michelle as my dog walker. However, Michelle no-showed twice. The first time she contacted me a few hours after notifying me that she had a family emergency so I didn't think twice about booking her for the following week. That week she walked my dog Monday, Tuesday, and then Friday came along and she didn't show. She didn't contact me at all to tell me what happened. That was extremely frustrating considering the fact that I had to stay at work late and my dog wasn't walked for over 12 hours. I could understand if she couldn't make it but I can't understand how you can not contact the owner and let her know.

Michelle was terrific, my dogs loved her and even though they're a little particular they were so comfortable around her almost immediately. I will be booking Michelle as my go to person from now on.

Information Michelle T. would like to know about your pet

I would love to have a detailed list of anything I should know about your pup before you let me show them a super fun day! I need to know if they're well behaved around other dogs, their habits, and what their health is like. The more I know the better I can care for your pet!

A typical day

We live in a beautiful and green neighborhood, so your pupper(s) will enjoy a walk with me and if there is a park nearby we will most definitely be visiting it! I always bring a bag or treats, toys, and water with me on every walk! I especially love taking dogs down to Hoboken to walk along the Hudson river, from there we can enjoy the NYC skyline.
