An animal-loving circus artist!
Pet care experience
Hi! I moved to Brattleboro in 2019 to study circus arts full time at the New England Center for Circus Arts as an aerialist. I grew up raising Moose and Molly, our awesome black labs. We got Moose as a puppy, and Molly as a rescue. We also have two cats: Millie and Max (standing for Maximum Cat... he's huge). Both were rescues as well. After Molly passed away last year, we got Cowboy, who was a long time shelter dog all over the country because he was “too intimidating” and labeled as “unadoptable.” He was scheduled to be euthanized but we took him in and he is a big softy now. He just needed a loving home, and he and Moose are best buds. I've been caring for them, as well as other dogs, cats, fish, birds, iguanas, ferrets, etc. for about fifteen years, on and off. I also have been volunteering at the Humane Society in my hometown in Michigan for two years. I absolutely LOVE animals, and am always so bummed that I can't have any of my own, due to housing rules, so thanks for letting me love on yours instead! :) I will happily hang with your pet at their home, where they are comfy, as well as play/run/walk them, and take them wherever you wish (parks, vet, etc.). I have a dog and cat friendly vehicle, and am happy to take your pet on more elaborate field trips if you wish.
Reviews
Michelle was great! She did a one night stay in our home with our 2 dogs. She had great communication and we’ll definitely use her again for future travel!
Michelle was the perfect match for my energetic rescue lab. She took her for long walks, following training strategies for keeping Annie calm, especially around squirrels, played her favorite games with a ball and mentioned that Annie was quite a snuggler! Annie looked great when I got home and so did the house. I would highly recommend Michelle for any dog or cat care, but especially those with special needs, like mine.
Michelle was a great sitter! Highly recommend She was on time for both appointments. She followed our feeding schedule and bathroom schedule. Took great care of our dog in our home for a full day. She is polite and friendly and cleaned up after herself and our dog . Can’t wait to have her sit again.
We were relaxed knowing our home and dog were being well cared for. Thx!
