About Michelle

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

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 the dream pet sitter! I feel so lucky to have her in our lives. She was recommended by my previous pet sitter who recently moved. During a difficult time for my family, I had to be away frequently to care for my mom, and Michelle took care of my two cats and dog. She sent me photos and updates which I appreciated so much. My dog is blind, one cat has chronic diarrhea, and the other cat is a little scary. Michelle went way above and beyond to care for them and keep me apprised of anything going on (like diarrhea cat having a blow-out (ugh). She made me feel comforted and my animals were cared for and loved. All the stars.
