Always Giving Your Pet 5 Star Care!

Pet care experience

Update: I am fully vaccinated for Covid-19! I still wear a mask as a precaution due to the variants. (Please note; I don’t charge for additional pets! If your quote looks outrageous please contact me it could be an error. My house sitting hours will be changing to all day and overnight stays 18-19 hours out of 24 hours. Starting from the time you need me to start until the last day at 6pm. This has seemed to work out better for many clients schedules as well as mine! I still offer just overnights from 7pm-7am if that works for you please contact me for pricing and we can make arrangements. Now with all that out of the way…I have over 25 years of experience in caring for all types of pets from dogs to reptiles! Growing up as a kid we had many different pets, even exotics! I owned a Pet Care business for several years, and earned 5 star reviews and awards for providing the best care for your pets. I am honest, reliable, dependable and punctual. Being a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to be there for them when you can’t; they are family no matter if it’s a dog, cat, birds or fish.. they all have a place in your heart and it’s my calling to make sure they’re safe and taken care of properly. My main goal is to provide what you need for your pet: walking, feeding, playtime and even giving medication, if needed, as directed by you and your vet. So everything goes smoothly and worry free while you’re away. Because all pets are not the same, visits are always tailored to meet you and your pets needs. Just let me know what you need! I treat every pet like they are my own pets; tender loving care is what all pets deserve; they love their owners unconditionally and that's what they will get in return from me! Visits are done in your home because statistics show that pets feel more secure and comfortable in their own familiar surroundings which causes them to have less stress. A little bit about my furry family.. We have two Siberian Huskies and an Alaskan Malamute, and used to breed them about 10 years ago. I worked as a kennel tech a few years ago, went through puppy training so I have gained a lot of experience teaching and training.. I offer an initial free meet & greet to meet with you and your pet to assess your needs and to get acquainted with you and your pet(s). By choosing me, not only are you getting professional care but also someone that cares about your pets and their well-being. I go that extra mile to ensure you and your pet(s) are safe and happy. So, you don't have to worry while you're away on vacation or business, your pets are in great hands! New to Rover? Just let me know and I can get you a coupon code to save on your first booking! I look forward to meeting with you and your furry family!!

Michelle came highly recommended by a my daughters family that moved away, but felt very safe leaving their pets in her care. She books up fast and for good reason! She has a real gift with animals, in our case, dogs. She came to meet our pup and asked her to show her around. She pet on her and engaged with all of us. One of our dogs has separation anxiety and Michelle took it in stride. Gave both dogs lots of love and even put up with a lot of lab snoring! She watched our house as well, and checked mail and brought in packages. A couple of odd things happened (because it’s technology!) that she alerted us about, which I was grateful for. She communicated often but not annoying. Sent pictures that were sweet and gave us some pointers on things she tried that improved their behavior. And they are still working! She seemed to really enjoy being at our place which we are thrilled about, because we definitely plan on using her a lot more. The house was spotless, and nothing was destroyed by anxious dogs, which happens no matter how hard we try. I feel like we have not only a great dog and house sitter, but hopefully a future friend, because she’s just that awesome!

I prefer to visit with your pet in your home. It’s a lot less stressful and safer for them to be left in their own familiar surroundings when possible. When I visit I follow your instructions as to what is needed. Of course this varies from visit to visit depending on the schedule you have for them. Before I leave I make sure they’re safe and secure. I know what it’s like to leave your pet at home and the worries that come with it. You can trust that I will be there for them so you can leave your worries behind too!

Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet

I think it’s very important to meet with you and your pets just beforehand to get to know them better! So when I come in for the first time without the parents home, they see a familiar face! I would like to know what they love to do and also what might scare them; knowing their temperament helps me to provide the best care! Vaccine up-to-date and emergency information is very important! A lot of the information here asks about dogs but I love to take care of all types of pets; no matter the breed I tend to love them all and I sometimes get easily attached lol! It’s best to type up instructions just before I come back for visits. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to contact me and ask!

A typical day

When we go on walks we will stay away from high traffic areas and avoid other pets. After our walks we will play together with their favorite toys. Sometimes when walks are not needed, typically they are just let out to run in the yard if you prefer. Fresh water is always provided and feeding if necessary per your instructions. Drop in visits are similar. If you just want them to go outside we stay out for as long as they want to get lots of fresh air, potty, and play. Fresh water and feeding per your instructions.

I am available anytime pet care is what I do! Unless I have other clients scheduled, on occasion so schedule flexibility is important mostly because of traffic and travel time. I started my own company again and keep my Rover calendar updated however, sometimes it doesn’t update correctly. Best thing to do is contact me.
