Biggest animal lover there is!

Pet care experience

Hi! I have had a small pet sitting business for 10 years. I have always had pets growing up...cats, dogs, hampsters, and birds and also took care of outdoor feral cats and always fed and provided water for wildlife. I currently have 3 cats myself but have owned dogs in my adult life as well. I volunteer for several rescues and shelters currently and also foster cats and kittens right off the streets. I can administer meds(pills, transdermal, insulin). I have experience walking, feeding, changing litter, while keeping everything spotless. I can keep up with extreme high energy dogs as well as slow down with older and less active dogs. I also will take out garbage, water plants, light housekeeping, and anything asked of me to keep your mind at ease while you are away. I work part-time as a mental health therapist so have plenty of time to provide care for your pet(s). I will spend the time giving your fur babies attention, playing, and spoiling them while you are away. I have 2 spare rooms in my home for pet sitting clients so if you need accommodations outside of your home, I can accommodate. Both rooms have towers, lots of toys, comfy pet beds, and windows to look at nature and of course people watch. They would be safe and cared for, while separated from my own pets. I have a very safe and quiet home.

I recommend her with the highest possible praise as a sitter or boarder. Michelle was incredibly helpful in boarding our cat during a complicated personal situation. She is highly attentive and active in engaging with the cats and built an excellent repertoire with our Sushi. Sushi had her own private room in Michelle's home, and was very comfortable and relaxed the whole time. Michelle was able to give her medication with no problems, and was very generous towards her with food and treats. Michelle was very flexible with our changing schedules and able to help us out.

Although I had to cancel my trip last minute due to illness, I would be remiss if I didn’t leave an extremely favorable review for Michele because she went above and beyond prepping beforehand with me. Because my cat has special needs, she attended a vet visit with me, checked in numerous times to inquire about best care, allayed all of my concerns, and overall was extremely attentive. Michele is first rate and I will definitely be engaging her services in the future. Wonderful to deal with and a pleasure to know.

Michele is so amazing! She has been walking my energetic Australian Shepherd for months now and my dog loves her so much. She is great! Very communicative and so caring. Goes above and beyond and has been such an amazing part of our dog’s life. I’d recommend her to anyone!!
