20 yr experience with large animals
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs and found a passion with horses that lead me to obtain a career in animal care and training. I started my career at a local zoo where I learned about basic health care and the well-being of animals. From there I was inspired to learn more and found myself partaking in marine mammal internships around the country. Through this journey I have worked with a variety or animals such as cats, dogs, birds, sharks, snakes, sea turtles, sea lions, and dolphins. These opportunities have allowed me to better understand and assist with veterinary care such as blood draws and administering injections for insulin in a positive low stress manner. I absolutely love spending time with animals of all shapes and sizes!
Reviews
Michelle did such a great job with my very active lab puppy! She sent pictures and videos as well as followed all care instructions. Was great at communicating with me , would highly recommend and will use again !
The BEST! Keeps you informed and I know my pup is in the best hands!! Absolutely recommend!
Michelle sat for our dog, Henry in our home. He is going, high energy and quite frankly a lot of work, lol! She also cared for our 3 cats and an aged beta as well as my horses outside. I trust her implicitly. When Michelle is at our house and caring for my animals I can relax and enjoy our rare times away as I know they are in the best of hands. She checks in often with updates and pictures (which I love!) and genuinely cares for animals and it shows on how happy everyone was when I got home. I won’t use anyone else :)
WOW! Michelle was did an outstanding job taking care of dog Carla. She sent me videos and photos all weekend while I was out of town. Carla is a blue heeler and can be a handful, but not with Michelle. She sure made it easy to relax knowing she was taking good care of my dog! I'm totally using her services AGAIN!

Safety, trust & environment
The pups are ALWAYS supervised in a fenced yard and if taken on walks, leashes and harnesses are triple checked! I like to enter through the garage since it is a way to make sure there is extra security while entering the home.

Information Michelle D. would like to know about your pet
I like to get to know the dogs routine to make sure they are the most comfortable. Understanding any medications or health issues is also a priority!
A typical day
The beach is one of my favorite places because I see so many dogs enjoying the moment. Trail walks are another good spot to get their energy out.
