Pet care experience

Experienced, loving pet sitter

With over 40 years of experience taking care of my own and others’ pets, I offer a caring experience for all pets, helping them adjust to your absence. Your pets will be treated like my own. Having dealt with many health and behavioral issues with my own pets and others I’ve cared for, I am experienced in administering medication, including insulin shots, applying topical treatments and getting your pets to swallow their pills. I enjoy walking dogs and am capable of walking several dogs at one time. I currently have two of my own dogs whom I walk daily. I also currently have a cat and have experience in exotic pets as well. I have extensive experience helping pets who suffer from nervousness due to storms, separation anxiety or general anxiety. Should you choose to board with me, your pet will be welcomed into their own home away from home in The Snug - a separate home on our property with luxurious accommodations. I will only board one family’s pets at a time so they can have my full attention. While I do have my own dogs, any pets I board will be kept separate from my dogs. Your pets will receive playtime, walks, cuddles and whatever else they need. If you would like to choose house sitting, please be aware that I do not stay with your pets all day but do stay overnight. I include 3/4 drop ins during the day in my rate and can do more if my schedule allows. I am available to transport your pets to the vet or groomer, as well.

Pippin did very well during his stay. With Michele. He is only fifteen months old so can be a bit rowdy. He seemed to be much calmer with Michele. We have already booked with her for September

Michele has watched our boys multiple times and every time we come back to happy fur babies! Her communication is perfect. I feel like I know exactly what I need to know and nothing I don’t! So not constantly getting notifications, but if she has a question about the boys or just keeping me in the loop of things that I probably should know she does! We are very grateful for her!
