Smiling Tails Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hello, My name is Michele and I am so excited to meet you and your dog. When your pet stays with me, they'll enjoy a family environment. My husband and I have been married almost 17 years and have 6 cats and 1 pup. We just love dogs and have had 3 over the years! Our Norwegian Elkhound loves other dogs and will be great playmates. All but 1 of our cats love dogs, and he just simply hides until he feels comfortable. I am a full-time pet caretaker, so I have a lot of time to spend with your dog. You and your pup will love me because I'm so patient. I understand animal's body language and inherently know what they need from me. They always seem to know that I'm an animal person, and most bond with me quickly. I send photos daily so you can see what your pet is up to, I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind. We live in a house and have a medium sized backyard that your dog can enjoy when they come visit. I have been around animals my whole life, from hamsters to horses. All animals love me and I love them! Please reach out to me if you have questions, I'm really excited to hear from you.

Michele took care of our dog, Oreo, while we were on vacation in July. I felt comfortable when I met her. She came at the scheduled times and also sent a picture and a brief description of how he was, what they did, etc. I would highly recommend Michele.

Michele is amazing taking care of my fussy cats! She does an excellent job with keeping up on their crazy feeding schedule, sometimes multiple medications, and other health problems that show up. My cats absolutely adore her. I never worry leaving for vacation, and getting frequent updates is great! I will definitely be using her for dog walking when I end up with a pup.

Michele is an amazing dog sitter. She takes care of our 3 big dogs (2 mastiffs and 1 rescue) and they absolutely love her. She is reliable and we are able to go on vacation knowing our dogs are in great hands.

Michele was awesome with my Otis. She was such a great help to me & Otis, she administered his required meds in my absence, consoled me & assisted every way she possibly could. Otis eventually passed, but Michele was a godsend to me. I was able to visit my daughter out of town, sometimes overnight, without worrying about Otis' needs. If I had a pet now, I would still be relying on Michele. I would & have recommended Michele to everyone needing assistance with their pet.

Information Michele S. would like to know about your pet

I want to know as much as possible about your dog. First of all, do they get along with children, dogs, and cats? Do they have any quirks? Health issues? The more I know about your dog, the better I can care for them!

A typical day

We take walks around the neighborhood or a quick drive to he park. Play Frisbee, fetch, or I love to give the pups a brushing.
