I hold a bachelor degree in Animal Science and have 20 years of experience working in the Animal field with a variety of pets/animals including horses, dogs and cats. I am comfortable handling a variety of animal behaviors in a calm appropriate fashion, and am an experienced former vet tech in case of emergencies or for the high maintenance pooch that takes medication. I am also a dog groomer and can groom your dog during his/her stay for added convenience. Please contact me directly with questions regarding grooming! I offer highly responsible, reliable and trustworthy personalized dog sitting service in a home environment tailored to meet the needs of you and your dog. Whether it’s a day, a weekend, a week or much longer, your dog will receive individual attention suited to his/her personality and demeanor. Your dog will get a healthy dose of human and dog interaction while you are gone, including walks, Toys and, play-time – unless otherwise specified by you. I have experience working with all types of breeds and temperaments and adjusting the care based on the individual needs of a particular animal I'm 100% comfortable with medicating, feeding, bathing and dedicating myself and my time to ensure that while you are gone, your pup will get the best care and attention which would otherwise be unavailable in a caged boarding facility. I will provide security and peace of mind not only for your animals but also for you while you are away. I am a life long pet owner, care taker and animal lover.. Let your animals stay with me!

Michelle does a wonderful job taking care of my cats. It's evident that my cats really like her as well. Aries, my ginger Diva, who is also pretty particular about people, has been photographed sitting on or very near Michelle, which is not something Aries normally does. Speaks volumes to me!

Ollie loved being at Michelle’s! And no wonder- she’s knowledgeable, skilled, and showed genuine affection for him. Michelle provided individualized attention for settling him into happy interactions with her own little buddies and with other dog friends he met there. Sending us pictures and videos and messages settled any fretting we might have felt, too. Thank you, Michelle!
