Michelle’s Happy Pets

My name is Michelle, and I grew up with various breeds of cats, dogs, and other mammals (rabbits, hamsters, etc.) along with several species of reptiles. I have over 23 years of experience caring for these wonderful critters, and I have not stopped loving it since! I currently own two cats, a horse, and a gecko! I used to have 2 wonderful dogs; sadly, they passed in 2024 – forever the best puppy dogs! I have experience caring for equines and some other farm animals as well. I have spent about 6 years caring for special needs pets, mostly dogs – I am open to learning how to care for other pets that are special needs. I do have experience giving medications (pills, liquids, I am still learning about medications requiring syringes with needles). I have devoted my life goal to ensuring the best possible care there is for my clients and their pets! I will love your pets unconditionally to the fullest while you are away and will cherish every moment with them! Every sitting job is done with care and respect for my client’s homes; I treat everyone’s pets as if they were my own - everyone deserves to be well-loved and happy! Please note: I work Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays – from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. Times vary. I do not offer 60-minute walks. Cancellations: any cancellation after a sitting is booked results in a 30% refund to owner(s). This applies to all services.

Michelle was AMAZING! She was patient and knowledgeable about cats and communicated with us and made us feel very at ease while traveling. Will definitely reach out to her in the future to have her to care of our girls.
