Safety, trust & environment

As a life long animal lover, I understand pets are more than just an animal, but they're part of the family. I take time to get to know each pet and will do all I can to ensure that they are always safe in my care, whether during a walk or pet sitting in your home.

Information Michelle W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any details that can help me better care for your furbaby. Whether they require special medications or have a favorite toy they can't leave the home without, I want do all that I can to ensure their time with me is an enjoyable one!

A typical day

I love getting to know each animal and what they love to do. I will happily do what I can to make sure your pet has a fun time with me! Whether it's a solo walk through a park or socializing with other dogs at a dog park, I want to give your pet the care and attention that fits their personality and needs.

Pet care experience

I've been around animals almost my whole life. I volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, have had cats of my own since 2013, pet sat cats and dogs for friends and family, and have had experience raising kittens as well as experience in TNR.

Michelle is the person I trust the most with my pets! She is so great and attentive to them. She follows any special needs or rules I have for them. You can tell she really loves and cares for animals. My puppies love her and are so excited when she comes around. She is the best!!!

Michelle has taken care of multiple dogs for me and has treated every single one as if they were her own. I greatly recommend her as a caregiver to any and all furry friends!

The best way to describe Michelle is as an Animal Lover. I have known Michelle for almost 15 years. She is incredibly thoughtful and empathetic with animals, and truly enjoys being around them. Michelle's cats receive the best care in the world (this us not an exaggeration, those kitties are treated as little queens!), and she treats the pets of her friends with no less care. My own cats always LOVED seeing her. Michelle truly loves being around cats and dogs (and other animals too!), and it brings her a lot of joy to care for the pets of others.

Michelle has a background in education and was a teacher for many years. Because of this, she is organized, patient, and outstanding at organizing activities (for children and furry children alike.) I trust her completely and would recommend her wholeheartedly! She truly loves animals!
