Experienced Vet Tech and Avid Hiker

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a 31 year-old veterinary technician with openings for cat, dog, small/caged pet and/or farm animal petsits. Since moving to Raleigh I prefer catsits as my new job is far less flexible but I can absolutely do drop in visits for dogs with dog door! We have very strict landlord restrictions in this rental so I can only bring small, crate trained dogs in as short term overnight guests. I am also an avid hiker and would love to help get your pets more active and out into nature with me provided they are dog friendly, moderately well behaved on leash, and able to be crated for car travel. Senior and/or special needs pets with oral or injectable medications are no problem with my background in the veterinary field. Cooperative/food motivated pets have the added bonus of being models for my photography hobby, and you get gorgeous photos to show off your lovely furry friends. I have been in the caregiving industry for 19 years and cannot wait to learn more about your needs! I am also happy to discuss housesitting, babysitting, and errand running.

Michelle is a wonderful, thorough, and caring petsitter! I always know she's going to give my fur baby the same love and attention that I'd give her. She's always my first choice whenever I've got to go out of town. Super great at communicating as well if you have any concerns or questions. It's very clear she enjoys this work!

I don't even know where to begin. Michelle has a true love and understanding for animals. I was a new and first time owner at the time I first hired her and my pup Gatsby was pretty rambunctious, but she was up for the task. He was always walked, cleaned, fed and loved. He even seemed to be better behaved when I returned! I can honestly say seeing her interact with Gat made me wish I was dog. I'd pay good money for somebody to love me like that. Do yourself and your dog a favor and hire this woman!

Michelle is flexible on scheduling, dependable, and great with a wide variety of animals! She has two very well trained personal dogs that come with her when she cares for my dogs & mine love their new friends. She has also taken my dogs on hikes in order to exercise them. Would highly recommend Michelle for any of your pet sitting needs!

Michelle is a bonafide dog whisperer. She is amazing with pets of all kinds. My dog adores her! Her own pack are some of the best behaved dogs you will ever meet. Her calm demeanor will keep your dog happy while you’re away!

Information Michelle M. would like to know about your pet

I always like to know the level of training and animal interaction skills a pet has before taking it on any outings. My ability to board pets is limited due to landlord request but crate trained small dogs can be discussed. I adore larger dogs so don't hesitate to book me for drop in visits!

A typical day

Depending on your pet's socialization skills, our outings may range from relaxing on the porch or a quiet stroll around the neighborhood to a hike around the lake or trip to the pet store!
