Mature and Animal Intuitive Woman

Pet care experience

I continue educating myself within the holistic realm of animal care and connection. I am certified in level three Equine and Canine Hanna Somatics. This modality is deeply relaxing for the animal and creates a close bond. As part of the pet sitting I will use these modalities if requested. I am also certified in Animal Reiki Master level, which is also a calming and healing modality. I am a professional Animal Communicator and will only communicate with your animal with your permission. Because I am intuitive, most animals like me and are relaxed with me. I have experience caring for birds, rabbits, dogs, cats, goats and horses. I have experience feeding them their medicine and giving insulin shots. I am in great shape and so exercising the animals is no problem. I prefer house sitting as my apartment has no yard. I have over 30 years of local house sitting references. I will pet sit in my apartment for one small or medium dog only at a time.

Michele has always made me feel my kitty was in good hands.

My dog is always excited to go to Michele's home, where the dog always gets a walk and, apparently, a lot of one-on-one loving care and attention. When I pick up the dog, she is quite mellow, even showing a relaxed pleasure the next day! I am grateful for such perfect Day Care with Michele! Joy W.

It was an absolute treat having Michelle stay in our home and care for our Scully buddy while we were away for a family reunion. He was so calm and peaceful when we returned home. It was a welcome homecoming for us all. I can hardly wait to have her come again! Thank you so much Michelle for leaving everything so tidy and neat! That was so perfect for me!

Oh my! Michele could not have been more wonderful. She took care of our baby girl who had just lost her partner in crime 2 days before we left. The attention she gave her was super special. My husband said she was like Mary Poppins! We could not have been happier. House was immaculate when we got home too! First experience with a pet sitter and I was nervous. No need to be with Michele! She was awesome!!!

Information Michele M. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know if the dog gets along with other dogs. It is important for me to know if the dog is a good walker, if he/she has separation anxiety, and if he/she is potty trained. I need to know if your animal has any emotional or physical issues, and also about any dietary restrictions.

A typical day

I take the cue from the dog in terms of how long he or she wants to walk. I like to change the location of the walks up so that the dog is stimulated.
