Lover of all animals!

Pet care experience

I have a background in animal welfare and have extensive experience with medical care for cats and am able to administer medication and subcutaneous fluids for cats and dogs as well as some injectables. I am an avid lover of all creatures and started my quest with animals by volunteering to walk dogs at Best Friends Animal Society and later completed an internship in their neonatal kitten nursery. This led to me getting a job in the kitten nursery where I worked all hours caring for neonatal kittens during "kitten season" and later worked in adoptions caring for dogs and cats of all ages, assessing behavior, administering medication, feeding, walking and showing love to these wonderful critters. I have 2 dogs at home, Violet (a pug) and Fritz (cute little mutt), I have 2 indoor cats- Charlie and Chibi, and two outdoor feral cats - Miles and Aurora that I took in from a hoarding situation that now live in my backyard and even though they don't want pets, I love them just as much as the others. My two previous dogs were seniors, and I have a major soft spot for senior animals or those with any sort of special needs. Dexter lived to be 14 and was paralyzed in his hind legs in his last years and we would stroll the neighborhood in his wheelchair, cheering up any person we would pass by. Daisy also had hind issues but never fully lost her ability to walk and with love, medical care and Fritz to liven her up, she bounced back when we adopted her at 13 yrs old. I currently volunteer at a farm on the weekends taking care of goats, pigs, chickens, alpacas, sheep and one sassy llama. Animals are my greatest passion and I assure you I will treat yours as if they were mine :)

Michelle was so great! She took really good care of Sophie and provided very thorough updates with detailed interactions and information about how the walk went and how Sophie was doing. Photos were also great. She was very responsive to all messages and communication. Would absolutely work with Michelle again.

I have to travel for work and it’s always hard to leave my kitty alone, but knowing Michelle was caring for him made all the difference. I really appreciated how attentive she was during the visits. She communicated really well, sent detailed visit summary’s, and loads of pictures. I highly recommend Michelle for your pet care!

Michelle was very thorough in her visits and sent me lots of feedback about how my cat was doing and lots of cute pics! Litter was clean when I got home and she's very friendly and sweet. My boy was a happy kitty!

Safety, trust & environment

As mentioned previously I have extensive experience with animals and am extremely cautious with every aspect it takes to care for them. This can be anything from making sure leashes are secure, to dietary needs, and approaching them with care and caution as to not stress them out.

Information Michelle P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your animals energy level, if there are any medical needs or allergies I should be aware of. I would also love to know how they react to walking by other dogs, their strength on the leash and any mannerisms that may be helpful for us to get to know each other best and make it the best scenario.

A typical day

Walking around nearby parks or the neighborhood to smell all the deliciousness is always a good go-to, but for those who like to play fetch, work on food puzzles or some training commands, I am here for it all!

I am a freelance wardrobe stylist/costumer so my work comes in ebbs and flows. I may have several days to weeks off at a time and love to fill in the gaps by spending time with animals—what truly brings me the most joy 🥰. I love to travel and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust take care of your beloved animal family members.
