Pet care experience

🐾 Work From Home & AF Veteran 🇺🇸

I have a special love for seniors. Cats and low energy dogs are most preferred. Please no incessant barkers or high energy dogs. Since I work from home, noise to a minimum is important as I can take meetings and calls at anytime. ***RIP Charity Ruptured Heart Valve - Deeply Loved and Always Cherished. May she rest in eternal peace and may her loving spirit always be with me. November 4, 2010 - January 12, 2024*** My little fur baby is my life, and I'll treat all fur babes as my own giving them respect and their space to feel most comfortable in my home. 🐶 I prefer to host pets for one family at a time to maximize comfort, care, and attention to your babies and mine. But will accept overlap and duplicate on case-by-case depending on temperament of all animals to ensure safety and comfort for all. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pet and help them feel comfortable while their parent is away. I am highly responsive and very responsible. I can be home with your pet throughout the day as I have a flexible schedule and work from home. I live by the Air Force Core Values: Integrity First, Service Before Self, & Excellence in All You Do! I look forward to meeting you and giving you comfort to know I will take the best care of your fur babies!

Think this was the longest I have been apart from my fur babies and was at ease the whole time. Had daily updates and pics/vids. I can honestly say I did right choosing Michelle to watch and care for Miguel and Celtic. She cares for them as if they were her own. Thank you Michelle!

Schedule

I work from home, so I have full availability to host and love on pets in my home. Twice daily dog walks and numerous backyard playtime romps. 🐕 I even have ramps for couch and bed to help the small ones feel comfortable and independent in their home away from home. 🥰

Safety, trust & environment

As of recently, I did have a senior small dog in home. Now that my home is empty, I’d love to share my love with your furry cat or dog. 🐈 I would treat your fur baby as my own including snuggles on the couch or in bed. I have a fenced yard and we also love dog walks together or separate depending how far or fast your little one needs to stretch their legs. I also have a pet stroller for any senior pups or cats so they can get enjoyment and enjoy the outdoor scents and sunshine. 🐩

A typical day

We love to check out new smells in the neighborhood or run around in the fenced in backyard and even roam around in the extra large screened in patio area. Tennis balls to chase and a variety puzzle treat toys and snuggle mats. I even have a pet stroller if your dog likes to be outdoors and get around without putting in all the leg work - that’s ok too. I am a runner; I’ll gladly take your dog for a run too if that’s their thing.

My biggest concern is working from home. If your dog is high energy, a barker, or crier, they may not be the best fit. I would prefer they comfortably sit with me in the office while I work during the day and take calls. Dogs with separation anxiety from their owner and crying incessantly has not been a good experience for me in the past. So I think it is important to know in advance. It is important that I know of food/treat allergies if any. Must be current with shots and on flea and tick preventative. Don’t be shy…I would love to know about any special needs, habits, or quirks your pet might have to be best prepared and ensure the best experience possible.
