Hi, I'm Michele! I'm a 32 year-old blogger and receptionist living in Detroit. I've spent the last 13 years of my life working in the pet industry and I've loved every minute of it. I began volunteering for a dog rescue in Madison Heights when I was 17. After 2 years I was promoted to manager. At the age of 21, I moved on to pet retail. After a short time as a cashier, I went through the certification process and spent over 6 years as an Accredited Pet Trainer. I've also worked as a receptionist/manager at dog daycares and vet clinics. I have two dogs of my own, one of which is special needs and takes multiple medications daily. I have experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications. I've also completed a canine first aid course, including CPR and Heimlich training. I have held accreditations in dog training and would also love to help with positive reinforcement training in your home. I offer dog walking, drop in, and pet/housesitting services for dogs and cats. I have experience with exotics, including reptiles/amphibians, small animals, insects/arachnids, and birds - pricing may vary depending on the service, so let me know ahead of time if you have any special roommates. All overnight stays for your dog include at least one walk per day and plenty of mental and physical stimulation. I'd love to talk about your pets' individual needs ahead of time and all efforts will be made to reasonably accommodate your family's regular schedule. Please speak to me about setting up daily or weekly appointments to fit your schedule.
