I want you to feel comfortable and at ease when leaving your pet with our family. Our experience caring for pets is quite exstensive and is not limited to this list. I expect my guests to only want the best care for their best friends so here is my "resume" which anyone who is granted such an important job should provide.
Michelle's Pet Experience Includes:
Specialized high school degree in Animal Husbandry on top of an honors degree. (John Bowne High School)
Associates Degree in Animal Science with a concentration in Animal Behavior.
Completion of two obedience courses from university.
Bachelors Degree in Psychology, which can be applied to animals and help people relate to their furry friends.
Running and Operating a Pet Sitting Service for 6 years
Started a dog walking service at the age of 13 (it all started for those pretty rollerblades I really wanted).
Being a foster mom to numerous animals over the years who were either homeless, had a terminal illness or parents abandoned due to pets poor health. (15 years-present)
Volunteering and employed at my local Animal Shelter as an adoption counselor and rehabilitator.
Internship with Flushing Meadow Zoo, N.Y as an animal caretaker.
My Partner's Experience:
My partner is a veterinarian right here in Edmonton and has over 15 years experience with animals as well. My partner has an exstensive knowledge of pet care, medical care of course, animal behaviour and is a wonderful surgeon.
Our lists go on with working on farms, pet stores, with breeders, training, dog shows, etc but the most important thing is your pet is our #1 priority!
