Hello there, I'm Michelle! Through out the course of my life, some of the most formative relationships I have experienced have been with the little creatures in my care. Despite having met so many pets and animals, I still get the joy and wonder of meeting every animal like it's the first time. I am caring, reliable and communicative and will make sure your furry friend has a human companion while you are away from home! Enrichment, positive reinforcement and socialization are top priorities for me and I always let the animals I care for lead and set the tone for our interactions. I have over 5 years of hands-on experience in pet care and have worked in cat shelter/communal foster home environments. I am very comfortable and reliable in administering medication. I am caring and attentive to the behaviors and concerns of animals, especially those with medical conditions. Friends and acquaintances often rely on me to dog-sit and I love going on walks! My heart has a soft spot for shy and spicy animals and have a passion for socializing animals of all kinds of backgrounds and personalities.
