Happy Pets, Trusted Care 🐾

**Please note - I’m currently unavailable for boarding & daycare services, as I navigate my dog’s illness. Thank you!** Hi, I’m Michelle - a proud dog mom and lifelong animal lover 🫶🏻 Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping your pet safe and happy while you’re away, I will provide trusted & responsible care to treat your best friend just like family! 🏡🐾 Alongside me are my two pups: Reggie, my friendly senior boy who loves neighborhood walks & naps burrowed under his blanket, and my younger pup Pippa, who adores belly rubs, all the snacks, & backyard adventures. Both Reggie & Pippa are social and love making new furry friends, as do I! 🥰 I offer overnight boarding and daycare in my home for dogs, as well as dog walks and drop-in visits for dogs and cats in your home. I prefer to schedule a quick meet & greet before the first visit or stay, but I’m happy to provide care without meeting first if your pet is comfortable and detailed instructions are provided. The safety and happiness of your pet is my top priority ❤️ Daily Rates: Daycare: Up to 10 hours, $3/hr extra for the first dog, $2/hr each additional dog Boarding: Up to 24 hours I carry private pet sitter insurance in addition to the coverage provided by the Rover Guarantee, so you can relax knowing your pets are in loving, responsible hands 💕 Please reach out to me anytime with questions or to schedule a meet & greet!

Safety, trust & environment

My dogs are important members of my family, and I will care for your pet as if they are my own. Reggie, Pippa, and I go on walks in our neighborhood at least twice a day, along with several trips to our backyard to sniff around and play 🦴

This was my dog’s second visit to Michelle and I would totally recommend her! He had an unexpected paw infection occur right before his stay, and Michelle took great care of him and followed his medication regime!!

Michelle provided exceptional care for Stella, and we were truly impressed with her attentiveness and dedication. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, keeping us well-informed and reassured. The pictures she sent were a wonderful touch, allowing us to see how happy and comfortable Stella was. We highly recommend Michelle as a dog sitter.

Schedule

I work full-time in a hybrid role, three days a week in office (downtown Milwaukee) and two days working from home, with weekends and holidays off. I enjoy flexibility in deciding my “at home” days each week, and I can often rearrange my schedule with advance notice. I'm happy to work with you to meet your needs!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Michelle can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your dog or cat has any quirks, routines, or special needs I should be aware of. For boarding in my home, I keep extra supplies on hand but feel free to bring as many of your dog’s items as you like to help them feel most comfortable during their stay! I also appreciate having emergency contact and vet information on file.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
