Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Michelle and I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! I studied music/audio and I love spending time with animals. I also enjoy volunteering at PAWS animal shelter with my partner. When your pet is in my care, I treat them as if my own. Owning one cat (Evelyn), growing up with 3 dachshunds, and taking care of many pets as a local walker and sitter- I understand the importance of caring for them. I would love to get to know your pets routine and go over anything else that may be important during my time with them! My main priority is making sure your pet is happy, comfortable and cared for while you are away. I hope to meet you and your loved one soon! ❤️🦮🐾

Another great experience with Michelle. She took great care of my sweet cat. She sent photos while I was away and I returned to a happy girl. Definitely will book her again (and I already have).

Working with unfamiliar animals can be challenging but Michelle did a great job! Lots of care and attention and our pets were happy and well cared for. She sent lots of details and the pictures were great!

Michelle was great. She gave us great updates on our kitties when we were gone - and great photos.

Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet

We can discuss any allergies, treat preferences, medications and how to administer, how they typically do on walks, and any other important details ahead of time.

A typical day

Typically we have playtime after a walk or whenever they seem playful. A lot of dogs love games like tug of war, fetch, puzzles with treats, plushes, chew toys, etc. Cats love wand toys, lasers, and batting at small balls and objects- so cute! I can also make sure your pet has more than a sufficient amount of pets and attention while you are away! ❤️
