Pet care experience

Work from home Pet lover

Hi there! I’m a 29 year old living in Reno for the past 10 years. I’m currently located in Northwest Reno area. I'm a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for all pets big or small! Since I was little I have been a trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. During college I worked at a boarding/training facility, volunteered at the Humane Society, and still love taking care of pets. I consider myself a patient, reliable, attentive individual who prioritizes open and honest communication so you will always be in the loop.   My dream is to have at least four dogs on property and to open a dog rescue to save, foster, and find loving homes for dogs in need. In the meantime I’m looking to help people with their pet care needs. Whether it’s a long walk, play session, a cuddle break, or sticking to specific routines I’m here to provide reliable, compassionate care and peace of mind.    I work from home full time! My work schedule is Tuesday-Friday 9-6pm.    For DAYCARE: Monday - Friday with occasional weekend availability.    FOR WALKING: I’m always trying to get more steps in! Saturday, Sunday, Monday are my most open days. Also open to midweek walks if you live nearby.   I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood with lots of walking paths to mix up our daily walks. I also live about a 12 minute walk or 2 minute drive away from San Rafael Dog Park if your dog likes to run off leash, play ball, and meet new friends we can work that into the schedule.    Reach out with any questions you have and I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

Michelle was a wonderful host who Oliver absolutely enjoyed his time with her and her dog. He looked forward each morning to go to their place. He loved his walks & playtime & came home absolutely exhausted each day.
