Hi, I am Michelle and I am new to Rover. I have always been very sensitive and very passionate about not only helping others but helping animals. I wanted to be a veterinarian for a very long time. I have always had some type of animal as a kid including hamsters, guinea pigs, and dogs. I am also very drawn to all animals out in nature as well. As an adult I have always had a dog. At one point I had 3 dogs that I loved very much. I have helped take care of others animals including my parents, my son’s, and friends dogs. I am a clinical therapist and also a Reiki Energy Healer. I believe that this sets me aside from others. Reiki energy healing can heal physical issues, anxiety, fears, behavior issues and so much more. My dog that I have now is a rescue and is probably the smartest dog I have ever had! I have been patient, worked with her, shown her unconditional love, and perform Reiki energy healing on her. I have also taken animal communication classes. Animals have feelings and health issues just like humans. The problem is that they are not able to communicate it in a way that humans can. Our pets are family members and deserve to be treated as such! If you have any questions about Reiki energy healing and what it is I would love to explain it more. This is optional and I do not have to do this if this is not what you want. This is just an added skill that I have. I would love the opportunity to pet sit and interact with your beloved pets!
