Pet care experience

Have always loved animals since I was aware they existed. I was the designated caregiver to the family animals growing up and was the go-to for pet sitting with neighbors and friends. I have an aptitude for communicating and caring for animals. I have an ecology degree, and I used to work for the Dallas Zoo. I have experience will all kinds of exotic animals as well. I had some interesting pets growing up including chickens, a pet pig, and a sugar glider. I currently have a dog-Indiana and 2 cats- Muir and Jonesy. My own dog, Indiana, knows 25+ commands and tricks. I love meeting new animals, showering them with love. I am accustomed to working with more challenging animals that need more patience and care.

If I could give Michelle ten stars I would! She helped us out when we were in a bind and was very flexible. She was great with our dog and two cats and provided updates regularly. I could tell our dog was genuinely happy to have her around. And she left our house spotless. Highly recommend!

Michelle did a great job dog and house sitting over a long weekend. She is calm, caring and knowledgeable. Michelle communicated well and we came home to a relaxed dog and clean household. Highly recommend!

Michelle was amazing and so attentive to our kitties! She gave us wonderful updates (pics/videos) the entire time and was very kind. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a kind, helpful, and professional person to take care of their cats while they are away!

Michelle took excellent care of both our medically fragile kitties! She sent us lots of cute photos them throughout our trip and gave us piece of mind that they were being cared for and loved on.
