Zookeeper & bear tamer
Pet care experience
I am an animal lover who has cared for and trained everything from puppies to grizzly bears! (Yup, I trained bears! From teaching them to “sit” to teaching them to voluntarily participate in blood draws and injections, anything can be possible with a little patience and a lot of peanut butter) From volunteering at shelters since high school to my career as a zookeeper, animals have always been a part of my life.
Reviews
Michelle took great care of Caramel - sent lots of updates and was easy to coordinate with, highly recommend!
Michelle is very sweet with our pups. She visited them twice last week and both times they were happy to see her. She arrived on time and took good care of them, sending us photos and updates during the visit. She’s attentive and follows our instructions well. We will definitely schedule more drop-in visits with Michelle.
We highly recommend Michelle to care for your fur babies! We had a Meet+Greet with her before the drop-in appointment and our pups loved her instantly. They were happy to see her when she returned for the drop-in visit the following day. She followed directions exactly as we requested. She even arrived a little early which worked out well for us. We needed to turn our phones off about the time she was set to arrive. We were able to buzz her into our building because she took the initiative to arrive 15 minutes early. Michelle is very thoughtful and conscientious. She cleaned up after feeding the dogs and left the apartment tidy. Michelle sent us frequent status updates on how they were doing with photos. Michelle is a kind person who loves all animals! We will definitely book with Michelle again!
Michelle was fantastic with our sweet/complicated rescue. She gave her a puzzle toy to keep her occupied and Patti even hung out in the same room instead of hiding which is a first for a new person!
