About: I started working at a vet's office when I was 16 and fell in love with it ever since. I learned how to administer medication, groom, and generally take care of various sorts of animals through my experience at the vet and in daycares: I've worked with cats, dogs, lizards, birds, rabbits, and a little bit with horses. Working at the daycare was most enjoyable for me, making sure the animals in my care were happy and less lonely when they're owners weren't around. I'm excited to get to know your furry friends! I have two dogs, two cats, a leopard gecko, and fish so my pet care schedule is busy daily. I love having something to take care of, put my energy into and taking care of pets is one of my passions! I have a fenced backyard for dogs who want the free space to run around, I have extra crates as well, and for my own fur babies I tend to use cbd calming treats for those pesky fireworks and loud noises. I also have a small stock pile of medications and preventatives for various ailments like gas, flea medications, etc.

I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is happy and well cared for.

About: If you are looking for someone with lots of animal experience, I'm your person. I was raised on a farm and LOVE animals. We love to play and be engaged with them. I've cared for many different types of animals for over 25 years ranging from gerbils, bunnies to chickens and horses. Growing up, my dog was definitely my "best friend" Now as an adult, we currently have 2 yorkies of our own that love to play, meet new people, and fur friends. We also have bred and raised multiple litters of puppies. I am a stay at home mom of 3 girls. My children are actively involved on a daily basis in caring for our own dogs and any dogs we sit. I'm also wife to a Soldier. Because we are a military family, we are use to constant change, flexibility, and making new friends. Which makes a great TEAM at taking care of multiple pets. I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies.. My job is very flexible and I can always take time off with no difficulty. I also have a husband and 3 children that have helped for the past 8 years with dog sitting. We live on a 1 acre lot that is 100% fenced. Our fence is puppy proofed for our 3 pound yorkie so he can’t escape. We never leave animals outside. We also have a outside and indoor security cameras on our home. So if we do have to run to town or if I’m in another room, we can check on them via phone. Your animal safety is just as important as my own dogs. One way I ensure safety is, we never let different families of dogs out at the same time. We try to teach and reassure all animals that they are loved and safe.
“Angel is fantastic! Our puppy Luna came back tired and happy. We could tell she was very well looked after and got some good playtime in. Will definitely reach out to her for puppy day care again!”

About: I love taking care of babies. Dogs make me happy. I have 2 of my own, but my love won't let me have anymore. This way I can love more. I've never seen a dog as just "a dog". My Border Collie saved me as much as I saved her. I think dogs bring a "peace" to their human. I've saved quite a lot, I use to find them, and if I couldn't find their human, I'd give them a home, show them love and then get to work finding the perfect home. I want to be able to spread love to as many pups as I can. If I'm tending to your baby. It's important that you know I'll love them and treat them as my own.

“Michelle is so wonderful with our babies! My husband and I are both military, so we have very busy weeks and she gives us such peace of mind being able to work with our pups! We have one senior slow moving dog, two very energetic pups and one pup who seems to dislike everyone BUT her :) She’s incredible with them and checks in often with any updates or concerns. She even made us homemade dog treats (how thoughtful!!). Would highly recommend!”
