I'll love them like my own!
Pet care experience
Let me just start by telling you that I absolutely ADORE animals! Big, small, furry, feathered, winged, scaled, or other, I've cared for them all! I've been pet and house sitting since 2018 and have had the privilege of taking care of a variety of animals, including but not limited to: dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, snakes, sugar gliders, & a Savannah Monitor. While you're away, your pet will love being spoiled and cared for like they're one of the family! They can snuggle up on the couch or bed with me, if you allow that. We will play in the house or outside (your/their preference,) go for rides while I run errands (if they like that sort of thing,) go to the park, etc. Pretty much anything they like to do with you, they can do with me. :) I have a partner who helps with the big stuff (farming, livestock, heavy lifting, etc) & 2 dogs of my own who come with me on my sittings. They dogs are 7 and 12 years old and I've had them since they were pups. They are friendly, well-mannered, & get along with everyone, including other animals & children. They mostly sleep and keep to themselves these days, especially the older one. In an ideal world, I'd have a house full of animals, but since that's not an option for now, I thought this would be a good win-win for us both! My availability varies, yet is extremely flexible, as I am a self employed Esthetician/Massage Therapist and see clients by appointment only, so I can work my schedule around yours and your pets.
Reviews
Michele is great! Responsible, excellent communication and pictures along with it! Our trip was wonderful knowing that our fur baby and house was being looked after! Natural with animals!!!! Highly recommend
Michele did an awesome job watching our place and 2 dogs. The house was cleaner than when we left and the pups were happy. She bonded with them quick and kept them loved until we returned.
Michele was the greatest pet/house sitter we've ever known! First off our travel plans were skewed to weather in the beginning of our trip and she was very understanding. She was willing to be there when we needed her despite the conditions that were out of our control. Our animals immediately fell in love with her and she treated them like her own. Which is incredible! She gave us confidence and peace of mind while we were away, sending us pictures and videos of everyone daily. When we got back home it felt like she had become part of the family. We would recommend her everytime and we'll definitely have her back again when we go out of town!
Michelle was fantastic job in her care of our dog Goldie! She went the extra mile to come meet her before she was scheduled to provide care. She is a sweet, responsible individual. I would not hesitate to use her services again.
About Michele Y.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I follow any and all rules/guidelines set by the owner. I administer medications as prescribed. I keep in contact & send pictures and updates. I snuggle and love your pet(s), (if they like that.) I respect both the owners and the animals boundaries and needs. I communicate any unseen changes or events that may occur (for example, in the past, I've helped navigate surprise water pump/well issues, power outages, storm damage, and even getting locked inside a chicken coop, haha!.) I do light house cleaning if needed, water plants, tend to outdoor gardens/farming. I just treat your home and animals like I would my own.
Information Michele Y. would like to know about your pet
Are they good with other dogs? Are they food aggressive? Any allergies or health issues to be aware of? Are they good around children/elderly? Are they good with strangers? Any favorite treats, toys, games, or activities?
A typical day
We can start the day with breakfast and a walk around the neighborhood or playing outside in your yard. I have a dog who LOVES to run, chase and be chased, they can wear each other out! We can play more in the afternoon, fetch, tug, whatever they like! Around dinner time, we can play more or go on another walk, or rest, depending on their needs.
