“I’m going to leave a rather lengthy review. I feel it’s important and necessary in order to accurately portray the anxiety and fear both myself and my pet had prior to our trip, why I felt like I had and then follow it up with just how wonderful the experience with Michelle turned out to for both myself and Lily (my furbaby). I was extremely anxious and hesitant in leaving my dog in someone else’s care. The quick “back story” as to why is that I’ve I NEVER left my pet in anyone else’s care (other than my son or husband) due to the circumstances in which we acquired her. Lily was abused and severally neglected, passed from owner to owner, multiple times within her 1st year as a pup. So Lily’s anxieties and fears of abandonment are on a rather high level, which in-turn only exacerbates mine. Lily is now about 6-years old and she is extremely weary of strangers and she HATES riding in the car (no matter time or distance). Our family was taking a trip to Anaheim from the Central Valley (about 5-6 hours in the car) for a five day stay. It was necessary to find someone to who could provide adequate care for Lily during the day, each day during our visit. Someone willing and able to work with our schedule, early drop-off and late pick-up but not just anyone…. Someone who would be patient, caring and nurturing to Lily while we were busy during the day. Michelle agreed to meet with us the day before in order to allow Lily to become familiar with her (as well as us with her too). We didn’t want Lily to feel as if she was being abandoned yet again. Michelle was absolutely an angel with putting me at ease prior to our “meet and greet” and upon meeting she had Lily warmed up to her so quickly. I’m a firm believer that pets, animals in general, can sense the goodness in humans and they’ll let you know rather quickly if a person doesn’t “check out”. Michelle is truly one of a kind, she is so good with anxious pets “and people too” 😁 Each day, during the stay, Michelle sent updates of Lily’s adaptiveness, videos and pictures providing both me and my husband ease of mind throughout the day. Which was something I really needed and provided me great comfort. To any future, potential “customers”, you need not look any further if you’re needing to entrust someone with your precious pet. Our pets are our family and we love them as such. You want the best for them, to feel safe and loved when they are not in our care. Michelle provides exactly that. "Thank You", is not sufficient in expressing our appreciation. Michelle you and your husband have kind, loving and caring souls... we are grateful to have met you and happy to know you. Whenever we are in the area, we will be sure to use your services again. ~Shannon, Eli & Lily 😊”
