As a substitute teacher, my summer schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to taking care of your pet. Without a fixed classroom schedule, I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or check-ins. I enjoy having that extra time in the summer to give pets the attention and consistency they need while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

I always strive to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Before each stay, I ask for detailed instructions and preferences so I can follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I ensure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention, playtime, or walks based on their individual needs. Communication is a top priority for me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and reassured throughout my time with your pet.

Information Michelle W. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, personality, any medical needs, triggers or fears, and how they typically behave around other animals or people. This helps me provide the best care and keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, active, and comfortable while you're away, so I plan fun activities based on their personality and needs. This can include playtime, walks, mental stimulation through games or toys, and plenty of affection.

Pawsitively Reliable Pet Care!

Pet care experience

I've gained hands-on experience through helping care for my friend’s and relative’s pets over the years. This has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to different animals' needs. Whether it was walking dogs, feeding on a routine, or keeping pets calm, I learned how important it is to provide reliable, loving care. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family—because I’ve seen firsthand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved animal in someone else's care.

I can’t say enough great things about Michelle! She’s not only kind and warm, but she’s also incredibly responsive and dependable. I appreciated how carefully she followed every instruction I left. It’s obvious she truly cares about the animals she watches. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate.

Michelle is a wonderful sitter who truly goes above and beyond. She took great care of my dog and her friendly personality made me feel completely at ease. She’s incredibly responsive—quick to reply to messages and always keeping me updated with photos and notes. Most importantly, Michelle carefully follows all instructions, ensuring my dog's routine is maintained and her needs fully met. I couldn’t ask for a more trustworthy and loving person to care for my dog.
