Retired Pet Groomer & Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I have had dogs all my life and spent over 20 years as a Pet Groomer both in a shop and mobile. I have had continued education in cat grooming, dog grooming, skin care, etc. I specialized in senior and anxiety dogs. I have had upward of 9 dogs at one time and they did not all get along. I have also owned a diabetic dog. I also have a Reiki background.
Cat care experience

Michele also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
I highly recommend Michele to care for any pet. She groomed all our dogs over the years and I’m pretty particular when it comes to their care. She by far was #1! She always was a true professional and genuinely cared for them like her own. She was gentle and kind and went above and beyond. She was always willing to offer help when I needed any direction. You should be so fortunate to have her! She is an amazing person and we ALL miss her terribly!
Hello. I have known Michele for a few years now. Wow like 5 now that I think about it. She has taken great care of my 2 fur babies Boomer and Maverick while he was alive. Those 2 pups had no fear or anxiety walking into Michele’s shop for grooming. Boomer is a boxer with lots of fear aggression. She knew exactly how to interact with him. She quickly gained his trust and became one of his favorite people. She is excellent with pets. I have taken care of hers when she needed someone to stop over. Her pups were treated so well. Fed well. Exercised. She is just fantastic. My pups and I were so sad to see her move away but we were happy for her.
Michele is incredible with animals. She was one of the only people who could groom our 95lb pitbull. She is patient and attentive to animals and their needs.
Michele is a wonderful, caring person as well as a great sitter/walker. She is well-versed in animal needs, and behaviors. Her background as a dog groomer is extremely helpful in how much she has been around animals. She sees each dog as an individual assessing their personality and needs. I trust her implicitly as a person and my dog adores her.
About Michele S.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a small fenced yard in a low traffic community that is good for walks too. I am familiar with crate training and can accommodate that if needed. I also have gates if access needs to be limited to parts of my house. Example, I do have stairs and can block them if pet is unable to do stairs.

Any health or allergy concerns would be important to notify me. Any new or odd behaviors. Anything they really like or super dislike. Routines that may be good for their settling in.
A typical day
We can go for walks, play with toys, also play some treat games to work their brains. We could also go for car rides if that is something they would enjoy.
