Pet care experience

Let the lovin' take ahold 🐾

I've taken care of animals for about half my life and I absolutely love it! No matter if they are my own or not. I am an extremely HUGE animal lover (actually feel more connected to animals than humans 😅) and I treat my animals as if they are my own children. No joke. I can physically run around and play with the little fur babies for hours and hours! Your baby will be in a safe yet fun environment where they will be treated like my own!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a townhouse with 2 other female housemates who are both very welcoming to pets. At our home, one of my housemates has a cat of her own and this cat causes no trouble to other animals, just minds her own business. I myself have a little 14 pound Chihuahua Rat Terrier mix who is about 5 years old. She is super friendly and energetic and she really wants more friends to play with! She gets along with both small and large dogs and even cats! I do not have a fenced yard nor any backyard or front yard. However, as a part of our townhouse amenities, we have a small park that includes a playground for children and a spacious grassy area for dogs on leash to play and run around. There is an off-leash dog park about 2 blocks away from where I live that I can take the doggies to freely run around and play all they want. I also love being fun and exciting with the fur babies so sometimes I will go to different off-leash dog parks to bring the precious pups to see someplace new! In the home, we have mainly hardwood floor but we also have two flights of stairs that are carpeted. I can easily put your furry pup in a crate if you wish. For a living, I teach dance and work as a fitness trainer and I just love being physically active in general. Therefore, don't be surprised if I often take the pups out for a run or hike or just plain jump and run around with them during playtime whether it's with toys or not. My home will be incredibly warm and welcoming as if it were your own fur baby's home!

Michele took wonderful care of our Noodle during a very difficult time for our family as we were dealing with the loss of Teemo. We can’t fully express how grateful we are for her support, kindness, and reliability. Knowing that Noodle was in such good hands gave us real peace of mind when we needed it most. Thank you, Michele, for being there for us and for Noodle we truly appreciate everything you did.

Michele is our go to helper when we are out of town. She is very detailed oriented, taken good care of our cuties when we are away. Cannot express more gratitude to her!

Michele is a life saver for our two cats. We use her whenever we go away and there’s nothing like the peace of mind she gives us. We cannot recommend her enough.

Schedule

I am currently working three part-time jobs. I work 30 hours as a fitness trainer/specialist and a few hours a week as a dance instructor in addition to doing some of this fur baby stuff! ☺️ I am available to do overnight boarding at a client's home or at my home as well. I am happy to have an ongoing long-term set schedule with a client, but I am also flexible and can work around client's schedule and help out when needed as long as I am available.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs

Please inform me ahead of time if your dog or cat is on any special/particular diet, has any health concerns (i.e. asthma or currently recovering from an injury or surgical procedure, etc.), or is a bit difficult around other dogs/ cats.
