Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced caregiver in OC
Relocated animal caregiver from Hawai’i looking for new families to support! Long time foster parent and special needs caregiver at Aloha Animal Sanctuary in Kaneohe, O’ahu. Where I was a caregiver weekly for over 6 years. Trained caregivers, lead tours and fostered Stevie the goat from his bottle and diaper days, Ducklee and Eve their ducks, Sushi a Polynesian Piglet and several quails. Also, was the overnight caregiver many times for the internet famous “Bala” abandoned baby goat on the hill before he got adopted. Have had long term relationships with common domestic pet owners to non traditional pet owners, such as pigs. Have had experience with after surgery care, senior pets, blind/deaf and administering medication. Happy to now bring that knowledge and care to OC.

Michelle also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am always open to abiding by the natural routine of the pets, mirroring as closely as instructed. I make sure to keep the environment clean, that rubbish and recycling are taken out and that the pets remain as comfortable and safe as possible.
Ratings and reviews
Michelle has taken care of my dog Benji on multiple occasions. Benji has separation anxiety and rarely opens up to new people. With Michelle he instantly feels comfortable and it allows me to go on trips knowing he is safe and taken care of. She gives great updates and I would highly recommend you use her for your dog.
Michelle is excellent with animals. Ive had the privilege to see her love on and care for dogs and farmed animals. Michelle personally helped care and dog sit for our non neutral dog and he took a liking to her. She made him feel safe and loved. I also spent years volunteering with her as she took in farmed animals in her home and when we were volunteering at the actual sanctuary. From quails to pigs, Michelle knew exactly how to provide for them with patience, trust, and softness. At the farm there were actually ducks, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, quails and a turkey and she was excellent with all of them. I would highly recommend her for sitting at your home or hers.
Michelle's the most sensitive and intuitive animal caretaker you will find! She truly has a way of connecting with all critters of many shapes and sizes, and making your pet friends and family feel comfortable, and safe. Don't hesitate to call her, you can't go wrong!
