Pet care experience

Dogs, cats, horses ❤️

I was the kid who brought home a stray kittten because my heart couldn't leave her on the street, and I became the adult who fosters kittens for my town. I also think dogs are the best! My family adopted the sweetest Black Lab when I was in kindergarten. I was so blessed to have grown up with her, and I love doting on my clients, which currently include Pitty mixes, a senior Shih tzu, and Portuguese water dogs. I've cared for animals with varying conditions from blindness to anxiety, and I have experience with breeds of all sizes, and ages 6 months to 16 years ❤️ Last but certainly not least, I've been riding horses for the majority of my life. Over the years, I have been honored and grateful to have met owners who trust me to care for and love their beloved horses as my own. Additionally, for many years I was a volunteer horse caretaker and exerciser at a non profit therapeutic riding facility. I am also a reiki master and practice on animals (with permission) if that is of any interest. My clients feel secure knowing their pets are with someone who is responsible, caring, and reliable.

Michelle is communicative and reliable! We had a key snafu at the beginning of her visit this time and she was super patient and helpful. She takes great care of our old man :)
