Hello, I wanted to introduce myself, my name is Michelle Watson. I am a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) in the Peterborough area with a passion for animals and many years of experience. I'm here to offer care for your beloved cats and dogs when needed. I offer drop-in pet sitting visits in your own home only during the day. I am available to walk them, do basic grooming care, do medicine administrations, and spend time with them and play with them. Whether you need someone to keep your pets company during the day, take your dog for a refreshing walk, or provide them with some TLC and grooming, I've got you covered. I offer cat and dog cuddles! I could also feed fish if needed. I could check on pets while you’re away but cannot offer boarding or overnight pet sitting at this time. I can offer dog walking services to help keep your pups active and content while you're away, as well as basic pet grooming to keep them looking and feeling their best. I offer nail trims, anal gland expressions, ear cleaning, paw pad shaves, shave jobs large or small, sanitary trims, face shaves, basic brushing and trimming, full bathing with shampoo and conditioner and full drying with my high velocity dryer! I’ve groomed my own cat before so could potentially do cats as well depending on their behavior and comfort level. I also offer tick removal and suture removal as well. Because of my medical background I could also help with other aspects like giving SQ fluids (materials supplied by you and your vet) and administering injections and oral medications (supplied by you and your vet) (No diabetics). I perform all grooming services in my home in Peterborough, but I do offer nail trims and smaller services as mobile, so I will come to you. I do charge a delivery fee for anyone over 30 minutes away. I personally have 2 dogs and 1 cat in my own home (all rescues). I am a current active volunteer and area rep for SMART dog rescue (husky/malamute only dog rescue) along with fostering dogs for them (I’m on my 13th foster dog with them so far!) I helped volunteer at the local Spay Neuter Clinic briefly, and I also helped volunteer with the Peterborough Humane Society, the OSPCA Provincial Dog Rehabilitation Centre, and the Riverview Park and Zoo in the summertime. I also shadowed a Canine Rehab lady with K9 in Motion Wellness. I am Fear Free Shelter Certified and Pet CPR/First Aid Certified as well. I am hoping to learn Grooming in the future as well! I promise that if you choose to book services with me that your animals are safe with me and they will be well taken care of! I am open to accepting other requests and offering services not already mentioned if needed, just message me and we can discuss further. Please don’t hesitate to reach out. My love for animals is huge and I want nothing more than to create an environment for them that’s as low stress as possible. If for any reason your pet is too stressed when performing a service I will not force them to do anything they aren’t comfortable with just to “get it done” and can try another time if needed to earn their trust. I am patient and kind and will always respect their boundaries❤️🐶🐾
