Information MICHELLE S. would like to know about your pet

Behavior: -Any habits (e.g., chewing furniture, barking at strangers)? Feeding: -How often and how much do you feed, any medication? -Are they allowed to eat our treats, or is all food owner-provided only? Exercise routine/energy level: -How often would you like your pup to be walked? -Is it okay to take them to other public areas, ex. beaches, parks, cafes?

A typical day

I keep pets entertained with a range of activities! We go a minimum of two daily walks (usually more!) and if permitted, visit parks for extra fun. At home, we enjoy cozy movie nights with pets cuddled up while we watch TV. Interactive play and plenty of cuddles are a must.

The Pawfect Pet Experience!

Pet care experience

I am a current veterinary student at Cornell at home for summer break:) What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in veterinary care and animal welfare. With experience working as a veterinary assistant and now at a doggy daycare, I’m skilled in administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and understanding dog behavior. My hands-on experience ensures that your pets receive expert care and attention. My passion for animals and commitment to their well-being means they’ll be in safe, knowledgeable hands. I obviously also will spoil your pets with love and affection!

Michelle did great with Ember, and Ember seemed comfortable in her home after a day or so. :)

Michelle was amazing!! It was the first time I had to leave my dog and cat and I was nervous but she gave me a lot of peace of mind. Rose and Squiggy got very comfortable with her and she sent me pictures everyday and we FaceTimed! Very recommended!!
