🐱Happiness is a Happy Pet🐶

Pet care experience

I have had a true love for animals since I was a little girl growing up on our farm. Animals have always been a big part of my life, whether it's my own, or caring for others, from cats up to horses and everything in between. I believe that a house is not complete without the company of a pet. And I couldn't imagine not ever having one! I currently have a lovebird,named Peaches, a German Shepherd, named Yogi Bear, an iguana, named Yoshi and 3 cats, named Bubbles, Mr. MaGoo, and Uncle Fester. So as you can see animals have been and will always be a huge part of my life. I can not wait to meet yours!

This is the second time Michelle has stayed with our two pups and we came home to two happy, well-cared for pets and a spotless home. It is very nice to have a dependable sitter and sets my mind at ease while away from home!

Michelle was fantastic! She took great care of our pets and our home. She stayed a little extra time to make sure we were on our flight before leaving and was willing to stay longer, if we needed her. She is responsible and dependable and we would absolutely have her again!

Safety, trust & environment

Let's just say that my pets are very spoiled and they know what to expect from me on a daily basis. I like to keep a routine as much as possible, so that they know when it's time to eat and have snacks and lots of playtime and interacting with me and others. I believe in a very clean and safe environment for them.

Information Michelle P. would like to know about your pet

I like to know ahead of time what type of animal (breed) I will be caring for so that I can do any further research to learn more about their particular needs. I take pride in anything that I do and taking care of an animal is just as important to me as taking care of a human being. So with that being said I like to know anything and everything about every single animal that I take care of to make the experience the most memorable and safest for both me and the pet.

A typical day

My favorite game to play with dogs is Hide-and-seek, take them on nice nature trail walks and take them to Dog Parks so they can have the opportunity to interact with other dogs as well as myself and also places that have water. I love seeing dogs playing in the water! I firmly believe that animals need friends too.
