Availability

I’m a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and be home throughout the day. Because of this, pet care fits naturally into my routine and I’m able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and regular potty breaks. I have full availability Monday through Sunday, all hours, and I truly enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years and truly love spending time with animals. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. All pets that come to visit us receive filtered water and we live in a non toxic house hold, we don’t use any harsh chemicals or cleaners for the safety of our little ones!

Michelle did an excellent job taking care of our little guy! We booked her last minute and she was so accommodating. She sent great pictures while we were away, which is always so appreciated. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again!

My senior pup had a great stay with Michelle and her family. Communication was great, lots of pics, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. My little guy came back relaxed and in good spirits which I attribute to being him very comfortable under Michelle’s care. Highly recommend!
