Pet care experience

Reliable compassionate care for you

I am a pet trainer and pet service provider experienced in working with puppies, rescues, seniors, and some special needs animals. I have cared for and shared my life with dogs for nearly 42 years. I was an educator at the college level for over 20 years. I worked in a Kennel for 4 years and started my own training and pet service 3 years ago. I have experience in administering medications, and am comfortable doing so according to your specific instructions. I have 4 dogs of my own, all of whom are therapy certified. We did bi weekly hospice visits and also visited residents in a local nursing homes until the COVID Pandemic. I understand the needs of dogs, and your need to know your pet is being well cared for in your absence. Young, old, big, small, I love them all! *Unfortunately, I am severely allergic to cats. So I am not able to accept requests for homes with cats.

Michelle was absolutely wonderful with our puppy. She sent lots of updates and photos so we knew he was being well taken care of and we had the best peace of mind on our trip.
