Pet care experience

Great companion for your pet

I've been caring for pets since I was 20 years old. Friends, family members, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide overnight care for their beloved pets. Growing up, I had a poodle and gained experience caring for a variety of other animals, including fish, turtles, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, and rabbits. This lifelong experience has taught me how to understand and respond to the unique needs and personalities of different animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same attention, patience, affection, and respect that I would give my own. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and responsive, and I'll make sure your pet receives excellent care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Michelle was great! Very thorough, very clear communicator, excellent updates; it was clear she was enjoying taking care of the dogs. Above and beyond. We recommend her and will definitely be using her again.

I used Michelle to care for my cat(s) for over more than 10 years. Michelle has always been very reliable. I’ve used her to come in during the day and have also used her for overnights. Over the years I have had either one or two cats most of them were used to going in and out. Of my last cats, one went in and out and the other was deaf so was not allowed to go out. She was always able to manage them and would highly recommend her to care for your pets.

Michelle B.’s skill in handling a dog and affection for them was apparent when I first met with her. She came with an excellent recommendation built over years working for my neighbor’s pets. She has stayed overnight caring for my dog and can administer medication as well as diet considerations.

MIchelle has helped care for our large very active dog for the last 3 years. She has stayed overnight in our home to watch her while we are away and is extremely reliable and responsible. While watching our children, she takes out our dog and plays with her. She is proactive and will ask if the dog needs to be let out if we are out for the day. She has been helpful in training as well. We know our dog is in good hands with Michelle!

Michelle is responsible and always shows up on time. She takes good care of our dog when we are away, making sure he has plenty of walks and gets lots of attention.

I have known Michelle for more than 10 years. She has taken care of our pets, both cats and dogs, whenever we have been away from home. She has always been reliable and followed through with any special requests we’ve made regarding our pets’ care. It’s obvious that she truly enjoys taking care of animals. She has had a particularly close relationship with our Weimaraner (Ziggy) since she was a puppy. Whenever Michelle comes to the house, Ziggy flops on her back and expects a tummy rub from her. I am happy to recommend her and I know she will take excellent care of any pets put in her care.
