Safety, trust & environment

My priority is always to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I try to stick closely to their usual routines, whether that’s mealtime, walk schedules, or playtime, so they feel at ease. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and always aim to leave things just as I found them. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can feel at ease while you're away.

Information Michelle C. would like to know about your pet

Important things I like to know ahead of time: -Daily routine (feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime) -Favorite toys, treats, and activities -Any medical needs or medications -Personality traits (shy, playful, cuddly, independent, etc.) -How they do on walks (leash behavior, reactivity, etc.) -Any fears or triggers (loud noises, other pets, strangers) -If they get along with other animals or prefer space -House rules (furniture, crate use, treats, etc.)

A typical day

Depending on the pet’s personality and energy level, I’ll tailor our time together to what they enjoy most. That could mean going on walks, play time, or just enjoying some quiet time and cuddles. For pups who love to play, I’m all in for games and toys. For the more relaxed pets, I’m happy to hang out, give gentle pets, or keep them company while they rest.

Pets

Pet lover since birth!

Pet care experience

I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life! Growing up my parents had dogs before I was even born. From this I knew since a young age how to properly take care of animals. Just look at my pictures! We’ve raised everything from playful pups to sleepy senior dogs. From loyal German Shepherds to my cute little Poodle, I’ve loved them all. Oh and we didn’t stop at dogs! At one point we had 9 animals at home. Six chickens, a Poodle, a German Shepherd, and a yellow Parakeet! Caring for animals is just second nature to me. I love making pets feel happy and safe. Whether that means tossing a ball, giving ear scratches, or just sitting quietly beside them.

Michelle was highly communicative and took great care of my sweet senior beagle, and my home while she stayed here. We look forward to having her back!
