Loving, Passionate, and Capable

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs for the majority of my life. I have the ability to control and work with an animal to gain an understanding and have experience training dogs. I have volunteered as a vet assistant during the summers for six years and gained a lot of experience and knowledge through that. I have loved animals since I was little; I have loved learning about, playing with, and petting them. They are truly one of my main passions and I love and care for animals I pet sit like they are my own animal. I also participated in a practicum for a mouth in an animal shelter. Anyone who has grown up around me knows me as the "animal whisperer." Because I have never met an animal that hasn't liked me or hasn't grown to like me through proper introduction. Let's just say, your animals will be in loving, passionate and capable hands.

Michelle was great with my two large dogs. From the moment she met them, they adored her. While we were away, she sent us pictures of them so that we knew they were being well cared for. She brought them toys and left the house very clean. I would definitely trust Michelle again to watch my fur babies.

Michelle is a very loving and caring individual that would make your pet feel like her own. She is extremely trustworthy and dedicated individual. I would always allow her to take care of my pets and not have a care in the world while they were in her care.

Safety, trust & environment

When I say at homes, I always ask for a schedule, a tour of the home, and anything I need to know (water plants etc.) I play with and hang out with the animals, I always do the dishes, and straighten/vacuum. Basically, your precious cuddle bugs will get a lot of love, playing and pets and your house will get loving as well.

Information Michelle V. would like to know about your pet

Are they potty trained, if not do you have a method you would like me to follow to help? Do you mind if I teach them some tricks? How would you like me to discipline them if they do something wrong? Are they good with people or other dogs? If not, are there certain people or dogs I should stay away from? Lastly, are they sensitive about any areas of their body, any noises, or any actions and how should I deal with it if those things arise?

A typical day

If there is a yard, running around and playing ball, cuddling and pets, tricks if they know some, tug-a-war, playing galore and of course treats if the owner allows. Walks around the town or if I know the area well, to a dog park (if its approved by the owners) and other parks.

I work full-time in Piscataway NJ, 8:30-5. I have church on Sunday, usually 8am-1pm but it does very (could be less) the church is 45 minutes away, that's why the chunck of time exists. However, it is flexible and minimum would be 8-11. I do things sometimes on the weekends as anyone does, but when I pet sit I makes sure it's never longer than a work day and for the most part, it's usually something flexible anyway.
