Pet Sitter in Los Angeles, California

I'm an
Individual
Hello! I am an animal lover who currently has no pets of my own (I live in an apartment that doesn't allow them), and I would love the opportunity to care for your 4-legged best friend while you're away! I have been active in rescuing animals, and I once had seven animals at the same time - 6 cats and a big dog. I was able to keep several of them, and my dog passed away 5 years ago now. I miss having animals in my life - I find them to be great for the soul! I sometimes joke that I'm a reformed crazy cat lady, but the truth is, I'm not so reformed. Lol. The choice to move to a place that doesn't allow animals was, in part, an effort to control my habit of taking in too many animals. I'm striving for a bit more balance in my life, but I still miss having them! ....Why does this all of a sudden sound like a bad posting on a dating site, or perhaps a new serial drama I should write?: Confessions of a Not-so-Reformed Former Crazy Cat Lady. :) My full-time job is in higher education administration, and I have my doctorate in sociology. I AM single, which means plenty of time to devote to your special family member who has to stay behind at home when you're away. I am responsible (witness my decision to reform myself by making it impossible to take in animals), and I will do more than just pop into your house to feed and walk your pet. I'll spend some time with your pet so he or she feels less lonely - play, pet, groom and talk with your furry friend - whatever activities you instruct to help your little one feel loved.

Michele is a bonafide animal whisperer. She is caring, compassionate, and the most wonderful caretaker of sentient beings on the planet. Highly recommend!

Michele is an ideal pet sitter! I've known Michele for over 15 years; she's a close friend and colleague as well. She is an ardent animal lover and comfortable with both dogs and cats. She cared for my cat Mateo and did such a good job. She's a responsible, kind, and trustworthy companion for any pet!

Michele is awesome. She has been pet sitting my two mini doxies for several years. She is extremely responsible, attentive and loving. She always leaves my home in better condition than it was before she got there and my dogs are always super happy when I get home from a trip. I highly recommend her.

Michele Dunbar is one of the most conscientious people I know. She is a huge animal lover and I feel she would be perfect for this job. I highly recommend her.

Michele Dunbar loves animals, is dependable, trustworthy, personable and professional. I highly recommend her for pet sitting as I have used her numerous times for pet sitting and house sitting for longer periods of time. When I return, my pets are happy and healthy.

Michele Dunbar is very reliable, responsible, and responsive. She watched my outdoor cats for me for almost a week. She welcomed all my detailed instructions and had more questions for me, as it wasn't just as easy as putting food out. The cats are on a schedule and there is other wildlife to contend with. I truly appreciated her help! If she was unsure about something, she asked. She followed up with me daily and gave me an update and assured me everything was okay. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. She even follow up with after my trip was over. Michele is great! I would highly recommend her.
