Michele can care for
Availability
My current work hours are flexible. Feel free to ask questions based on your needs. I do some freelance work, mostly on my laptop and phone. If you have wifi I can get most of it done while keeping your fur baby feeling safe.

About Michele S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
One house I sit has 5 outdoor cats, 2 dogs and 3 horses, a koi pond and wild bird and deer feeders. Each with its own needs between getting attention, food, medicines and exercise in their own environment, on their schedule. I'll take care of most any animal but never salt water fish tanks. They are too tricky for me.
Information Michele S. would like to know about your pet
Control issues? I’ll know to take them out more frequently if you give me a heads up. Fine with all breeds, raised well. Let me know about your fur babies quirks, phobias and fears. I have learned how to deal with most of them, and forewarning makes a huge difference. If you are a new user and have not been able to fill out much on your dog's bio, please fill me in when sending a booking request. The more I know, the better.
A typical day
Play time will be based on what your animal prefers. Some want to romp, others like to walk and sniff things, yet others want to play keep away or tug of war with ‘stuffies’! Tell me what your dog likes! Cat's have a different play routine and I'll happily string toys along and let them curl up for cuddle and a purr after! Is your dog a runner? Please let me know in advance. Yes, I will walk or ride the horse (no, not run and jump them).

Never met an animal I did not love!
Pet care experience
My Family bred Shelties. I worked as a Vet assistant in my youth and bred Finches! I wish I was an animal whisperer, but working on it. I do have local references from house/pet sitting for over 30 years. I have clients off site, in other states.
Reviews
Can’t recommend her enough. Sends great updates and pictures. Takes care of pets like they are her own. Our dog is so afraid of storms and Michele always sits with her and makes sure she is okay. Can’t say enough good things.
Michele was absolutely wonderful with our dog while we were out of town. She is reliable, communicative, and shows so much empathy and compassion for animals. Prior to pet sitting, Michele came over to meet our dog and get to know her behaviors and comforts, and to make sure she was familiar to her leading up to the time we would be gone. While we were away we received frequent and detailed updates and pictures, and you could hear the pure joy in her messages. Michele makes it her mission to make sure both the animal and the owners have maximum peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and would certainly book her again! If you’re looking for someone to give your pet the royal treatment, she’s your gal!
The absolute best!!! See past reviews for more about how wonderful Michele is!
Michelle is a godsend she is amazing, nurturing, caring, reliable, and trustworthy. She is responsive and shares great pics with details of how Rosie May is doing.
