Pet care experience

I've cared for all types of pets for 20 years, ranging from dogs to cats, exotics, and farm animals. I have 4 pets of my own currently and have had many over the years. My clients come from personal connections and word of mouth. I am reliable and trustworthy, and the happiness of your pet is my number one priority. I also love providing pictures!

Michele was responsible and communicative and took great care of our cat and dogs! She stayed in my home and left everything in a great condition. Highly recommend!

Michele is awesome! Calm, laid back temperament but very attentive. Athena is in with her.

Michele was great! Very communicative and sent lots of picture updates throughout the weekend. Our animals looked like they were having a great time with her. We would love to have her take care of them again!

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to give one on one attention to your pet even in multi-pet households. I have 4 of my own and I know individual attention is important! I always encourage good manners and use positive reinforcement and treats. I pay close attention to behavior as well since that is always the first indicator that something is wrong. Care and attention to any open windows and doors is also a priority so that every pet is safe and does not escape from the home.

Information Michele W. would like to know about your pet

I can cater to any needs as long as they are discussed beforehand. I will be honest and let you know if I am unable to provide what your pet needs.

A typical day

I enjoy giving as much attention as your pet wants, and I love taking pictures of them doing cute things or just to share for your own peace of mind! My own dog loves balls and tug, so I love it when a pet I'm watching does too! Cats who want attention and a warm lap to sit in will enjoy the presence of my company. I have two cuddly cats of my own so I will love cuddling with your cat too.
