Pet care experience

Passion for animals

I have helped my mom run an at-home doggie daycare/boarding service for 8 years now. As well as working part time at Dogtopia! I love spending time and taking care of dogs! Growing up with 4 dogs in our home at all times, now that I am an adult I have two of my own doggies! A pitbull mix and mini poodle mix, both 6 years old :) ❤️ I walk doggies in the community around me and I would love to do it more often! For my cat lovers, I have a three year old grey Korat kitty named Harley!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize the well-being of my pets and clients by providing a comfortable, clean, and safe environment at all times. I ensure they are fed on schedule and enjoy occasional treats, while offering plenty of playtime, cuddles, and opportunities to build a strong bond. With my clients' dogs, I greet them with love and affection, walking them on a leash or letting them out in the yard for potty breaks. Afterward, I provide food, water, and treats, followed by some time to explore or play with toys. When staying overnight at a client's home, I maintain a similar routine, ensuring their dog(s) are settled into bed, unless the client prefers crate training. I always follow specific instructions, especially when it comes to administering medications or supplements, ensuring the best care for every pet.

Michelle was able to come to the house to meet our boy before confirming which helped ease our anxiety of leaving him. She house sat for us since our boy doesn't like to be alone at night. Captain had a great time with Michelle. She fixed his blankets for him and loved on him. Thanks so much Michelle!

This is the second time I have trusted Michelle to care for my two cats while away. Neither of my babies have shown stress upon my return and my home was cared for, which speaks to the level of care! I greatly appreciate the up dates Michelle provides. I will choose Michelle for my future cat care needs.

Michelle watched our dog when we had to leave town last minute. We appreciated knowing someone was giving him love and care while we were gone! Thanks Michelle!
