Caring for animals is more than just a job for me; it's a passion. Having dogs since I was very young, I always prioritize each pet's comfort and happiness, treating them as if they were my own. I always adhere to feeding schedules and maintain a clean, secure environment. I am responsible and vigilant, always pay close attention for any signs of distress. In emergencies, I follow pre-discussed plans, and communicate immediately with you. Ensuring pets feel loved in their own environment and offering you peace of mind are what I enjoy most. I'd love to bring my kindness, love and empathy to caring for your dog!
We had Michelle take care of our 3 dogs and 2 plants! One was a last minute sitting and we loved having her so much we asked her if she could accommodate a 2 week trip we had planned later in the year. She did a wonderful job caring for our fur babies and plants and kept us up to date with pictures and videos. Michelle is very loving and gentle with animals and they sense that. Our dogs were sad to see her leave but of course happy we were home too! I would recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a sitter they can count on and who will take good care of their pets and home!
