About Michelle

I have been working with animals of all species for the past 20 years! I have always been a local pet/ house sitter for families, but after graduating college with a degree in wildlife conservation, I have also been a zookeeper and have volunteered at many animal sanctuaries for wild and domesticated animals. I also have spent 2+ years working in the emergency department at a few different vet clinics. I too have 4 cats and a fish, but once upon a time I had a dog who was the absolute sweetest. In my spare time, I like to practice yoga, read, spend time with my family and travel. One thing you should know about me is I am really honorable and fun loving. I have lots of energy, yet I am super grounded and "chill" you might say. I think laughter is medicine and I try not to take life too seriously. My skills include administering medications, being a keen observer to behaviors, and providing enrichment in the hopes of preventing stereotypical behaviors.
