Pet care experience

***IMPORTANT NOTE: I stay in your home. I am not available for drop-ins*** Hi!! I’m Michelle. I moved to NC from the Midwest in June 2023. Since then, I’ve proudly curated a loving, supportive pet family community. In the past 35 years, I loved my own dogs to life for years past their life expectancy. Small & large breeds. From pups to seniors. It’s my first time not having a pup of my own. So I have plenty of experience & love to give your pups. Everywhere I go animals come to me and trust me very quickly. My friends call me the animal whisperer. I’ve volunteered at local animal shelters, walking dogs, for 5+ years and fund raising for almost 20 years.

Michelle cared for my 2 fur babies (Shih Tzus) for a week. She kept in constant contact via text, pictures and went out of her way to allow me and them to feel comfortable. My home was just as I left it, sparkling clean. I would definitely request her again!!!

Michelle did a fantastic job with our two 6 month old pups, Mikey and Buddy!! They thrived in her care and were sad to see her go. She sent us pictures and updates daily which made it possible for us to relax and enjoy ourselves while we were away !! We definitely will be using her again in the future and heartily recommend her services. Thank you Rover.Com and Michelle❤️

Michelle was amazing! We received regular updates and she was so patient and sweet with our shy 1 year old puppy and cuddly 16 year old! She left the house super tidy and went above and beyond with ensuring things were all set before she left. Would highly recommend Michelle!

***I stay in your home, I don’t do drop-ins*** I’m not in a hurry and won’t rush anyone. We can take quick walks (in the heat) or play fetch in the yard. Whatever they like. Plenty of pets & cuddle time! I enjoy spending time with furries & don’t have other time constraints, so I’ll be there for them!
