I've always loved animals of all kinds. I grew up with guinea pigs and a rabbit so I'm great with small animals, but have always had a special place in my heart for dogs. I've been pet sitting for a year (dogs, cats, and rabbits) and the animals and I always have a great time together. We go for walks, we play, we cuddle and we send pictures to their owners to show what a good time we are having and that we aren't missing them too much. I'm happy to do whatever is needed for the animals to keep them happy, healthy and in a relatively normal routine for them including regular walks, keeping to the regular feeding times, giving medication, brushing, and even bath time should the need arise. I'm happy to accommodate any needs specific to your animal, so long as you or they tell me.
I work part time on a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to spend with the animals. When I go out I'm not usually gone for long, and can arrange my schedule around the needs of the animals.
Before starting pet sitting with new animals I always arrange a meeting with the owners so I can meet the animals and make sure we are a good match and run through their routines so that I know everything I need to know about them and caring for them. I ask a lot of questions not just about their care but also about the animal's likes and dislikes, favorite activities, treats, tricks, training and general temperment.
In your home you can be sure that I will be respectful of your home and take care of it as if it were my own. I am a very clean and tidy person so you will return to a house that is just as you left it (maybe with a little less fur because I do vacuum 😉)
As I mentioned before I am happy to send regular updates, as frequently as you'd like to let you know/show you how things are going. I am always open, honest and accommodating with my clients so feel free to ask about any questions or concerns I am happy to do whatever it takes to put your mind at ease so that you don't have a single worry about your pets while you are away.
Looking forward to hearing all about your wonderful pet(s) and the things they like best.

Thanks a lot Michelle for keeping our « babies » :)
Our dogs liked her instantly.
She is calm, conscientious and you can see that she used to managing dogs.
Michelle was a lifesaver for our family! She charmed my (typically anxious and suspicious) pup immediately with her calm and confident demeanour, and took such great care of him while we were away. She even took the time to send us little updates while we were away! It was a huge weight off our minds knowing our dog was in such great hands while we travelled, and we wouldn't hesitate a bit to book Michelle again!
