Overnight PAWfessional💛4ur Furbaby

Compassionate Care 4 Your Fur Baby…. Bringing lots of love + light to your pets while you are traveling✨💛🙏🏼 Hi there :) Thank you for your time to read my profile and the opportunity to care for your fur baby + home while you are traveling. Since I was little, I have always connected deeply with animals + nature. They bring joy into my life + I love getting to know their unique personalities. I feel so grateful when going from a stranger to friend. I am without a fur baby of my own right now because I provide love & care to some of the cutest fur babies in the world! I enjoy being home and taking good care 🏡 I have a lot of experience in house and pet sitting, adapting to new surroundings + routines + individual needs, providing the best personalized care for fur babies + respect for your home while you are traveling. I have taken courses on caring for animals + canine massages. I spent time on farms taking care of various animals, working with non profits + animal rescues. I also spent time training service dogs. I have experience with all stages from puppy to senior care.

Michelle was a top notch pet sitter. She took amazing care of our dog and cat for a week. She was terrific with communication and she left the house sparkling clean. I highly recommend Michelle to others and would rebook her in a second.

Michelle was a fabulous! My wife and I were super anxious to leave him with a sitter for the first time but Michelle helped us feel calm from the start. She was super responsive, very clean, left our house cleaner than how we left it, and our pup loved her. Highly recommend her!

Michelle is an actual angel sent from heaven! We have tried a few different dog sitters for our 4-year old golden/lab mix Winston, and Michelle is by far the best. It can be hard to trust someone to love and care for your baby when you're away, but Michelle makes it easy! She sent a bunch of updates about Winston's day at least once a day, took him to doggie daycare every other day, gave him a bunch of love and attention, and left our house in even-better-than-we-left-it condition. Michelle was very communicative and asked about all the details of Winston's routine/care/our home. You can tell that she genuinely cares about your pup. Highly recommend, we will definitely be booking with her again for our future needs!!

This was our first time leaving our Boston Terrier for a few days with someone he didn’t already know. Michelle completely eased any worries we had, and we were fully able to enjoy our vacation. She provided us with daily pictures and updates of meals, potty breaks, playtime, and bedtime. We knew our pup was in the hands of someone who truly loves animals. Michelle was patient with our rambunctious dog, devoted her time and attention to building a bond with him, and clearly followed instructions I left for feeding, walks, etc. She was respectful of our home and left it as clean, if not cleaner, than when we left. I can’t recommend Michelle enough!
