Most recent review
I would schedule my vaca/leave around Michelle’s schedule. I have 4 high maintenance dogs that range from ages 13-4 months. I have never left the dogs because of my own apprehensions, however when my daughter entered her first year of college in many states over I had to find a trustworthy, dependable, but MOST importantly knowledgeable and able sitter to care for my dogs. My youngest Puppy has a collapsed trachea, respiratory illness and a narrowed airway condition that he was not only able to board anywhere but needed around the care for meds and to monitor his vitals. Michelle was amazing at giving updates, pictures and vitals. She was aware of my bulldogs respiratory issue and always listened for any indifference to his breathing. She has been an amazing provider for my pups and I can honestly say she genuinely cares for my dogs and exceeds there needs as well as mine. If you’re looking for a pet sitter- pet care giver Michelle is way beyond any expectation you would need. You will find comfort in her competence and love for dogs. Communication has always been #1 and Michelle has been great getting back to me for scheduling and punctual on time. If you are lucky enough to have her care for your dog you will be rest assured those pups are in amazing hands.
