Your fur-babies are in good hands!
Pet care experience
I grew up with 4 cats, 2 dogs, and a tank full of fish, so I learned from a very young age to care for and love animals. Eventually I started taking care of other people's animals, learning about different routines, toys, treats, foods, and animal personalities. My home now has a toddler, an American Staffordshire Terrier, and 4 cats, each with huge personalities and different needs. I also worked at Pet Supplies Plus for a little over a year, learning about pet nutrition, health and wellness, and enrichment activities for dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, and a wide variety of fish and reptiles.
Reviews
Michelle is my go to person to check on my sweet Maine Coon, Stasi, when I’m away. I highly recommend her with 5+ stars!!!!
Michelle was amazing!
Michelle was awesome! Professional and friendly, she seemed to genuinely care for our critters. I felt super reassured they were in good hands and appreciated getting the updates. I will definitely plan to reach out in the future if my pets need care again.
excellent service really professional!!!. Highly recommend Michelle

Safety, trust & environment
First and foremost, I understand that pets are often so much more than "just pets". I usually refer to them as "fur-babies" (or just "baby" for the fur-less varieties) because more often than not, they become your child. I do my best to stick to the routine you have with your fur-baby, especially since this can help ease the pet while you are away and make it less scary for them. I don't mind if each animal gets different food or different feedings: for example, I have 2 senior cats on senior food, 2 cats on regular food; they each get their own dry food in the morning and add in wet food at night. So if you have a pet that requires something different from the others, and it's part of your routine, I am fully prepared and capable of ensuring each gets what they need. My goal is to make sure your pet(s) are well cared for, and you aren't worrying about them while you are away.
Information Michelle F. would like to know about your pet
I like to know if your dog has any allergies or food sensitivities, and if they are on any medication for them. If they eat a special food, I would like to know that too. I need to know what vet they are established at, just in case anything happens. I would like to know if they are current on shots, heartworm, and flea and tick preventions.
A typical day
Dogs always have a favorite toy and/or way of playing. Mine, for example, loves destroying toys by pulling the stuffing out of them, making a little pile next to her, searching for the squeaker (all of which are promptly picked up so nothing is ingested). When she's satisfied with the destruction, she then brings it to us to play tug of war with the rest of it. I love to see what dogs choose as their favorite toys, and how they enjoy playing.

Availability
I am currently a stay-at-home mom with an almost 2 year old son. Our days start fairly early, and we only have 1 nap a day to work around at noon, but this breaks up the day nicely into defined morning, afternoon, and night chunks.
