About: I have hands-on experience, caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. including dog sitting many times often overnight. I am responsible, dependable, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors and everything in between and I pay close attention to each pets individual needs and routines. while I’ve done only minimal training, I’m familiar with basic commands, positive reinforcement, and maintaining good habits on walks and at home. what truly sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals, which helps me build trust quickly with both pets and their owners. Pet care if it’s naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I already prioritize responsibility, consistency, and time management I make time for each day for movement fresh air and structured activities which lines well with walking, feeding and caring for my pets. I’m comfortable planning my schedule around visits check-in and overnight stays and I take commitment seriously caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy so it never feels like a chore. It’s just part of my regular rhythm. I care for pets in a way that prioritize safety, comfort and consistency whether I’m in my own home or Client‘s home. I follow each pets regular routine as close as possible, including feeding schedules, walks,playtime, and rest, and make sure their environment is clean, secure and stress-free. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs in clients homes. I’m respectful of their space and any specific instructions they provide my goal is to make pets feel comfortable cared for and loved just as they would in their own family.
“Michelle house sat for an our 62 lb 1-year-old labradoodle and brought her own 13 lb 2-year-old Duchhunt along with her. She was very respectful of our differen dog house rules (our dog is not allowed on our furniture) and accommodated our labradoodle's hyper arousal around her little dog, by the end of the week our dog was much better behaved around her dog, which was an added bonus towards his socialization. She told us our dog was ready for greater independence in our home with less dog gates etc, which was input we appreciated. She was respectful of our home and left it as she found it. She was very communicative, we heard from her daily with pictures and she responded promptly to any inquiries from us. I would highly recommend her without reservation.”

“Before we left, Daniela came to visit 3 times to help Stella and Dixie (the cat) become friends with her and to meet our daughter, who lives next door, and our granddaughter, who also is a "dog" person. While we were gone, Daniela sent several text messages, some pictures of Stella, and a video of Stella playing with her dog, Harvey. These were very much appreciated and reassuring. Stella appeared well and happy when we returned, although she was surprised to see us at first, but soon nearly beat us to death with her long tail. We were very satisfied with Daniella's caring for our pets while we were gone.”


“Eileen was awesome with my fur babies! They absolutely loved her. She sends texts with photos which is a really nice touch. I will continue to use her every time we go away. I felt bad she had to deal with a destroyed dog bed and a huge mess, but she didn’t make a big deal about it.”
“Abigail is amazing with our pets! She was very communicative, very kind and our pets were very comfortable with her. Abigail was comfortable with feeding schedules and medication as well as physical activity with the pets. We’re very grateful for Abigail and the excellent care she gave our pets!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Cindy went above and beyond our expectations! Our four puppies were very well taken care of, and Cindy did an amazing job! We were away for 4 days and she came to our house to watch the dogs. They got all of the love and attention that they get when we are with them! Looking forward to Cindy coming to take care of them again :)”
