Highlights
Pet care experience
20 yr experience with large animals
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!

Ratings and reviews
Michelle is great! She is thorough, attentive and so caring. She took great care of our girl, and we will definitely be booking with her again!
Michelle is such a fun Rover mama and my dog had such a fun day with her! Lovely neighborhood, and easy drop off and pick up.
Michelle was amazing with our very high energy lab puppy, Roland. We left him with her for a long afternoon/evening while we attended our nephew's wedding and he had a great time playing fetch and going on several long walks. So glad to have found such a wonderful and welcoming caretaker - we will definitely use her services again!
Michelle is the best (and Marvin, too!) She took great care of our two dogs while we were in town for an adventure race. She was very communicative, sent great photos of our pups, and even took them out for a hike while we were gone for the day. Highly recommend!!
Michelle was wonderful! I could tell that Apollo was relaxed and well taken care of. She sent updates and responded in a timely manner. I would highly recommend her to any other pet parent!
Michelle was amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and she took such great care of our two Boston Terriers. She was super kind, gentle, and patient with them. They instantly felt comfortable. Michelle took them on a nice long walk and kept us updated throughout the day. We came from Chicago to play golf at Arcadia and drop them off at Muskegon and had a long day, but Michelle was so flexible with timing and really went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

Schedule
I am working on starting a full time pet care and dog walking business so all of my focus is on clients and their pets!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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.
Pets
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.
