Pet care experience

Your pets comfort is my priority

I have over five years of experience working at an animal hospital as both a Client Service Representative and a Veterinary Assistant. I’m Fear Free Certified, which means I’m trained to minimize stress for pets while ensuring they receive the best care possible. Whether it’s playtime, a walk or an overnight stay I bring patience, compassion, and a deep understanding of both animals and their owners to every situation. My goal is always to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

My dog has stayed with Michelle a few times and she and her family spoil my boy rotten and take amazing care of him. Im so thankful to have found her.

Michelle was great! We couldn't ask for a better dog sitter. We received regular updates, pictures, and little notes that reassured us our pup was happy, safe, and well-loved. It was clear that Michelle paid attention to our dog’s routine and personality, and treated them like her own. Coming home to a relaxed and happy dog says everything. We are so grateful and will absolutely book again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and full of heart! 🐾

Michelle was so kind and patient with my dog, who sometimes needs a little extra support and comfort. Juniper had a great weekend there!

Our pup Titus had a great stay with Michelle! He’s a senior dog with some special needs, being a rescue adoptee, and she was so great at making sure he was comfortable and well cared for. ☺️
