I live in house with a fenced back yard in close proximity to Bryant Park. The street I live on is particular quiet with minimal car traffic. I also have a dog who is very friendly and loves other dogs. I have a cat as well and he is a friendly kitty who gets along with everyone (including high energy pups). I can easily crate your dog if that is how you prefer them to sleep!

Pets

Hey, I’m Michelle!

Pet care experience

Hi! I am a teacher, lifelong animal lover, and proud golden retriever mom. I also have a wonderful cat named Miles and previously cared for my beloved soul cat Rosie who passed away from heart disease. Because of Rosie, I have extensive hands-on experience giving cats multiple types of medication several times a day, including pills and liquids. I am very comfortable supporting pets who need extra medical care, gentle handling, and consistent routines. I am 29 years old and live in the Henrico area. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have grown up with big dogs, small dogs, and cats of all personalities. That lifelong experience has shaped me into a calm, safe, responsible, and deeply compassionate caregiver. As a current teacher and someone who loves animals with all my heart, I bring patience, positivity, and reliability into every visit. I am very flexible and easy to work with, and I will always go above and beyond to ensure you and your pet feel completely comfortable with the care I provide. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, structured walks, medication support, or simply a loving presence while you are away, I am here to help. Please feel free to reach out with any questions about me or the type of care I can offer. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your furry family member soon.
