Michele goes above and beyond with Jax, she's very friendly and communicative, always keeps me updated. Jax feels like home every time he stays at Michele's. Highly recommended!

Schedule

Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, carefully structured to ensure that each pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Daily Routine: Morning Care: I start the day early with morning feeding, fresh water, and bathroom breaks or walks, ensuring pets start their day energized and comfortable. Midday Activities: Depending on the needs of each pet, I schedule playtime, walks, or mental stimulation during the day. For pets requiring special care or medication, I incorporate these into the schedule at appropriate times. Afternoon & Evening Routine: In the afternoon, pets get another round of walks, playtime, or rest, depending on their energy levels and routine. Evening care involves feeding, any necessary medications, and winding down with relaxation or a final walk to ensure they are ready to settle in for the night. Weekly Structure: I maintain a flexible schedule that adjusts to each pet's individual needs. I plan around pets schedules to offer as-needed services, ensuring consistency in the pets' routines. By incorporating pet care into my daily life with thoughtful planning and attention to detail, I ensure every pet in my care receives the love and support they need!

Safety, trust & environment

My daughter took our fur babies with her to college so your pet will receive all of our love and attention while you're away! I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality. I build trust through consistent care, patience, and positive reinforcement, ensuring pets feel safe and happy in my care. I pet-proof every space, removing hazards like small objects, harmful plants, and chemicals. I supervise all playtimes and walks closely, ensuring pets stay in secure areas, both indoors and outdoors. I also follow any specific dietary, exercise, or medical guidelines provided by owners. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment filled with toys, cozy resting spots, and plenty of space for play or relaxation. In my home or the client's, I make sure pets have familiar items (like their favorite blanket or toys) to ease any separation anxiety, and I maintain their usual routines to reduce stress. Ultimately, I treat each pet as if they were my own, providing the love, care, and attention they need to thrive while your away!
