I will spoil your pet with love :)

Pet care experience

I have had all kinds of pets that have touched my heart. I would love to meet your fur babies, and give all my love and attention they deserve! I took online courses with Harcourtt certifification program, becoming a veterinary assistant in 20001. I worked with the developmentally disabled for 10 years...but love the field of veterinary care also. My counseling skills enhance my abilities to recognize and diffuse anxiety or behavioral issues. 4 out of 5 doggies agree, l speak doggie talk rather fluently! 😁 l only give 'distilled' water...doggies just enjoy the fresh, clean taste, but their mom and dads can enjoy the fact that it is free of toxins! ☺ Doggie guests may enjoy eating meal(s) on backyard patio, as warm summer days are ahead! 🕯 💦 🍲 Car rides and Calitche's 🐶 🍦 are a favorite and a 'must' experience! 😋...had 2 chihuahua mix doggies and have a wire -haired fox terrier mix. Max- and Rocket (l called Rocket, my Wal-Mart roll back special, as that's where we met..).Both Rocket and Max lived happily with me for 18 years! I had to say so long (never good-bye) to my fur babies last year when they crossed over that 🌈🌉. I miss them and keep them in my heart, and know l will see them again! 😇 😇 and my wire haired fox terrier Is my bestie/diva/business partner and an all around good boy!! ♥ 🐾 I realize it's stressful to rely on a stranger to care for your pups, but l assure you,l will provide a va-cay stay to rival mom and dad's! 😎 l will help by contacting you to let you know how your babies are doing, what they did, and any changes and overall mood level for each day, with daily pics, at same time every evening. . If interested, please contact me, and l'll give you more information on my skills. Thank you for your interest:) ♥ 🐾

I was hesitant to leave my baby with a sitter because I never have before. Michelle was amazing - I got daily updates and photos, and bonus for her having a dog that mine could play with. Thank you so much for making my first Rover experience amazing!

Michelle was just wonderful! She took such good care of my senior dog! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and comfortable! I will definitely be using her again! We are very fortunate to have someone like Michelle who truly cares about our fur babies!

I will show your fur babies all the love and attention I give to my Benji. He is not a jealous boy. Not territorial. But very outgoing and excited to make new friends. If I am sitting in your home, I will show it the same respect and care that I do my own.

Information michelle b. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any behavioral or special needs your pup has. Details such as: eating habits, supplements, snacks. Behavioral changes with strangers; possible aggression and anxieties. Sleeping habits. Benji and I welcome new Furry babes for cuddling on the bed.

A typical day

I love getting to know the personalities of my furry guests. To me they are like permanent 4-year-olds. I have anxiety relieving licking mats, Kong and puzzles. I will follow his/her daily routine, such as going for walks, playing with toys, or just lounging on the couch watching animal programing, or soft music, their choice! ☺ I will win his/ her Trust and make the adjustment to a new environment Stressless and fun. I have a small, outgoing, 7-year-old wire-haired fox terrier who enjoys new Playmates. He is very respectful of another's boundaries and will give space when needed. I have an artificially turfed backyard with a surrounding 6+ ft rock wall.
