Pet care experience

I've been around animals almost my whole life. I volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, have had cats of my own since 2013, pet sat cats and dogs for friends and family, and have had experience raising kittens as well as experience in TNR. Starting in late August I will be unable to visit your pet between 8am-12:30pm during the week as I am a part time preschool teacher. However, I can spend all weekend taking care of your pet.

Michelle is an amazing dog sitter - she sends frequent updates and most importantly our dog is well taken care of. It's clear that she genuinely loves animals and is attentive to their needs. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable.

Michelle was able to help take care of our dog due to an unexpected scheduling issue. She was highly responsive. It is clear that my dog trusts her a lot. She is gentle with him and took great care of the apartment. Thank you!!!
