Pet care experience
I am available to help in the following areas: Fishers, East side of Noblesville, Oaklandon, Geist, McCordsville, Fortville, and certain areas in Indianapolis. I have been around animals since I was born. When I was just three years old, our cat, Mamma Kitty, had kittens in my bed on Easter. That same year we rescued a blackbird with a broken wing and released him once he was healed. Since then I have been an avid animal rescuer and advocate. I have had and still have many pets of different kinds. I have fostered dogs, raised puppies and kittens, and helped the wounded. I've put myself in dangerous situations to get an animal out of harm's way or off the street. My personal dogs have lived long lives with my dear Bailey living to be almost 17! I currently have two dogs, two cats, and a chinchilla. Believe it or not, that is the least amount of pets I have owned at one time in the last 18 years! I worked for another pet sitting company where I worked with fish, cats, dogs, and one older dog that required daily meds. I am experienced in all care and shy away from nothing. I work full time in Special Education so during the school year, I am fully available weekends and after 3p during the week. If close proximity I can do mornings before school as well. During vacations such as Christmas and summer vacation, I have full availability. I am willing to try to accomadate any/all schedules to my best ability. Rover takes 20% of each sit so I’ve had to set my prices accordingly. I give lots of love, pets, and walks. In my client's home if stop in visits, I have always stayed longer than the "required" time because I do not believe that three 15-30 min visits per day are enough for any fur baby. I love to take pets on walks if allowed and snuggle. In my home, I do allow pets on my furniture but if this is not allowed at home, I will make sure not to allow in my home or the client's home. I have two very sweet kind rescued pups and two cats. My pets are safe around all other pets. My cats and dogs are great buddies! I am off for the summer from my full time job and am only working part time so I have a lot of availability. Once August comes, I will be a bit more limited on hours aside from school breaks My personal pets are walked daily and my pups are crated when I am not home. They sleep with me at night and play with their toys. I would give my clients pets the same attention at my home and even more to make your pet feel comfortable and have a good time while you are away!

Highly recommended!
Michelle was so personable and responsive. It was such a great feeling to know my animals were being take. Care of so well!
Michelle was such a lifesaver! Our sitter cancelled and Michelle was able to keep our dog over the holidays. She communicated frequently and sent lots of pictures and updates. Thank you! I highly recommend and would use her again anytime.

Safety, trust & environment
At my home, I have a yard but it is not currently fenced. I take pups out for walks and we walk around the yard. I love to play and snuggle with dogs so inside, we will be playing or snuggling on the couch or in my bed. If pets aren’t allowed on furniture, I get on the floor to be with them.
Home
Information Michelle C. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs. favorite toys, meds, and playtime. Does your pet like to be held, petted, and loved on, or left alone? Also, if the scenario is one where my pets are around, are your pets ok with other pets?
A typical day
Playing ball is one way I like to keep a dog active. I also like to go on long walks on a trail that leads around a pond. Snuggling is a great way to spend time with a pet and if they like being outside, soaking up the sun is the place to be (with ample water of course).
