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), their likes/dislikes, If they require medication, and if they are allergic to anything.I take pride in what I do. So with that being said I promise to care and love your pets as much as I love mine.

A typical day

My favorite games to play with dogs is Hide-and-seek and catch, take them on nice nature trail walks for some fresh air and Dog Parks (if allowed) to play with other dogs and be able to run freely within a safe enclosed area. I also like to take them to the lake or a stream where they can play in the water.

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 two cats, Louis and Calvin. They bring much joy to my life💙. Ive had horses, dogs, cows, chickens and even an iguana. Animals have been and will always be a huge part of my life. I get excited when I start a new sit because I get to meet and learn new personalities and each pets little antics. I can not wait to meet yours!😊

We have had Michelle watch our pups multiple times and she always does a great job. Our skittish sheltie seems to warm up to her very quickly. She always leaves our home tidy and communicates if she has to leave them for a short time. We will hire again!

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!
