Pawz Pet Services

Michele is great! She does a great job with your pet.

We were extremely pleased with the services provided. We received daily text messages with photos and a journal with daily entries. We were able to enoy ourselves knowing our pets were being well taken care of! It is reassuring to know that Pawz Pet Services will treat our pets as if they are their own. I highly recommend them!

Michele was great with our 3 boys as well as giving me daily updates on them. They are definitely in good hands with Michele and are looking forward to seeing her again!

Thanks to Michele, we are right at home here in Tampa and my dog CHip is well taken care of every day.

We just moved to Tampa from NY and have been so apprehensive about leaving our pets. We had a great pet sitter in NY and didn't think we could find someone like her but I have to tell you that Michele was by far our best pet sitter EVER!!! I found her on Angie's list and through Pet Sitters International. She came for an initial consultation and was here almost 2 hours getting to know our pets and learning about their behavior/routine. After the 2 hours, we felt so comfortable with Michele and our babies loved her that we knew they would be in great hands. She was extremely thorough and professional. We completed lots of paperwork so that she had info on the pets personalities, preferences, vet, food, etc. She also provided updates and pictures after each visit and asked us to 'check-in' with her on our return so that she knew our babies were back with mom and dad again. Nobody has EVER done that before!  Oh and she leaves a journal of each visit for future reference so that she can compare pet behaviors, etc.
Michele is worth her weight in gold and it is clear that she truly loves what she does!! She was so excellent that we booked her services for our next 3 trips. Her prices are extremely fair for the quality of care she provides!!

It is hard to even know where to start for this review. We had such a wonderful experience with Michele of Pet Pawz Services! We have a little anxious dog who has not done well with strangers or visitors, yet Michele was able to win her over in our first "get to know each other" visit. We also have a cat who has health issues. They both need medicine regularly. Michele would text us each time she visited, which was twice a day. She would send us pictures of the pets and describe how each was doing. She also kept a log here at the house that detailed everything she did each day. She was professional, punctual and really, really good with animals. We were worried that our dog would not  respond to her yet she did amazingly well. Michele was gentle and steady with our dog and little by little won her over. She was able to put a leash on her and take her outside to pee. She also sent us a video one day of our dog taking a treat from her hand! We were so amazed that our dog was responding to her so well. The high quality of care was evident just in how the animals responded to her and how relaxed and content they were while we were gone. 
The daily updates really helped us not feel anxious about our pets. We didn't worry about them because we knew how they were doing each day. We were very impressed with Michele's professionalism, kindness to our pets, and thoroughness in whatever needed to be done. She has a real talent with animals. It is clear she loves them and treats them well. When we came home, our cat met us at the garage door because he thought we were her! He never used to meet us at the door like that, it was clear he was expecting Michele!
We would highly recommend her! Her prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality of her care and her knowledge of how to treat animals.
We are also so grateful to her for making our trip less stressful since we didn't have to worry about the pets! We are planning to use her service again!

Price various depending on the number of visits per day.  I always get overnight visits and an additional visit during the day - that costs a little extra.

Michele trains pet CPR.  She knows pets and their behavior and personalities.  She understands that each has specific, individual needs.  I trust her completely with my dogs and household.  I have recommended Michele to neighbors who have thanked me for the reference. 

We have recently moved to Richmond and Michele is the single most missed service person whom I had relied on for consistently reliable service.  Wish we could have brought her along. 

We have now used Michele twice and both times she has been great. We have two dogs and and a cat and she has been great with all of them. We generally have her visit twice on days we are gone which has worked well. She is very thorough in staying in touch with us and leaving any important notes behind. She also accepts credit cards, which has been nice. Overall, I highly recommend her.

Michelle is the best pet sitter I have ever hired.  She is professional, prompt, and takes care of my animals like they are her own.  She makes sure to update me with texts and photos of how my cats are doing.  I am extremely grateful for her services, and highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting or other home based pet care!

Took great care of my cat while I was away for a couple weeks. Cat was completely stress free when I came home. Michelle sent daily texts with photos and provide daily summary reports. Recommend A++++
