Hello! I'm a professional pet-sitter with over a decade of experience caring for a variety of animals. My background includes animal rescue, care, and advocacy. I've lovingly cared for cats, dogs, chickens, pigs, and more. Through this experience I've developed keen observation skills, behavior understanding and medical experience. My skills include; exercise/enrichment, medication administration, sub-q fluid administration, injections, and fear-free relationship building. Professionally, I've been a professional pet-sitter, started and ran a thriving non-profit farmed animal rescue/sanctuary, and most recently worked at the Humane Society. Personally, I've cared for my diabetic cat, two cats with renal failure, a super senior dog, a dog with lymphoma, and multiple fearful rescue dogs. I do provide overnight stays in the pets' homes on a limited basis. I understand the need for consistency and lots of love while you are away. I look forward to talking with you!
Michelle is amazing! She was so kind and patient with my very anxious pup. She took the time to meet my pup where she is at allowing her to get comfortable. I highly recommend and will continue to hire Michelle as long as she is available!
