Pet Sitting by Michelle

Pet Sitting by Michelle Pet sitting in the Launceston, Camelford and surrounding areas. Let me introduce myself, I'm Michelle and I live near Launceston.

Some of you already know me and know my huge love and deep passion for animals great and small. For the last 30 years I have been working as a health care assistant whilst caring and rehabilitating wild hedgehogs, birds and other wild animals in trouble which is my other passion. I have a few pets at home with me including our 8 year old Sprocker dog Lara, who is very energetic and my two rescue f

errets Red and Bear, who are very cheeky and can be great escape artists! Over the years I have helped friends, family and locals with looking after their pets whilst they go to work and go on holiday. Growing up in my early teens, I volunteered my time on a Saturday at our local RSPCA/pet shop based in Southampton, looking after various small animals. My fondest memory was helping to socialise the abandoned puppies and feeding them. This experience made me want to work with animals more, so I later studied Animal Care and Management where I learnt a lot more about our furry best friends and a lot of other animals, like dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, guinea pigs and hamsters along with some curious insects! I am also well-known for my work with the British Divers Marine Life Rescue and as a wildlife rehabber for swifts and other hirundine birds. I am now set up to do pet sitting professionally. I am fully insured, have references and have a full enhanced DBS check so your best friends will be safe and well, and you will be rest assured with me.

I've been visiting some of my regular clients of late,
just before this rotten wet weather arrived.
I popped in daily to see "my noc turtle" friends 🀣 who were preparing for hibernation and sleeping most of the time.
See if you can spot them on some of the photos? Even I nearly missed them too.

Do you remember these two funny chooks!!!
Well, if not this is John and Sally. ( John is also a female) πŸ˜† ive been visiting them frequently and checking they not been causing trouble at home.
They enjoy their dust baths, eating, chatting, eating nibbles, and foraging for more treats, and then sweet talking me for more. πŸ˜† They are so funny and full of charm.
I could watch them both all day. πŸ₯°

"Double Trouble"

I'm so sorry, im very late sharing my pet sits with you all.
If i mention the word Seals 🦭, I'm hoping you will understand. πŸ©΅πŸ’šβ€οΈ

I've been pretty busy this last month, I had the pleasure of visiting Kerra and Tegan again.
Poor Tegan was recovering from a little procedure, but she is always full of energy, love and just wants to play, so it was important to fuss her gently, without hyping her up too much. 😬
Kerra on the other hand, was taking full advantage of this situation, and had full control of the tug over Tegan. Hard not to giggle πŸ˜† πŸ˜†

Apologies for lack of posts, I've been incredibly busy with animals of all kinds. 😁
A few weeks ago I was asked back to check in a few times on the absolute gorgoues Kerra, Tegan and Mandu.
The girls absolutely love a good fuss and wicked game of tug of war' and Tegan usually wins 🀣
Mandu also loves the fuss given and I'm always privileged to give it. 🐾❀🐾❀🐾❀🐾

Last week i was asked to pop in to feed and check on some of my regular clients. πŸ˜…
These boys and girls are so fascinating.

Can you remember what type of Tortoises they are?

I love there inquisitive but shy behaviour.
I managed to get some "Shel'fies to share with you. β€πŸ§‘β€πŸ’š

I was asked back to tuck my friends in Boris and Margot into bed at Wonkey Donkey Farm. I love to have a good chat with them both, a good fussing and then say good night, this is what Boris had to say. 🀣πŸ₯°β€β€β€πŸ€£πŸ˜πŸ˜

I've been pretty busy the last few weeks, and it's been great getting hands on. During the weekend of the heat wave, I looked after Jack, Ella and Scooby again.
If you remember from late winter, when I first visited these boys and girls, I had very little experience and knowledge with horses, I still have little experience but everytime I come over here, I'm humbled to learn and get to know about these beauties a little more.
What I will say though, is I take my hat off to all horse owners who have to watch the daily forecast for heat, because of the horse flies. They are just outrageous!!!!!
Horses have these fabulous face masks they can wear to stop the nasties attacking. ❀ I never knew that.
Thank goodness I had Jungle Formula, I would of been eaten alive. Shame they couldn't make one for horses.
Massive thank you to the owners for asking me over again, even when i put the face mask on wrong horse. πŸ₯° lol πŸ˜‚

Puppy time ❀❀❀

My first visit with Esther and Monty the Spaniel pups, full of energy and love and also the lovely Ruby a rescued Spanish water dog with webbed feet. πŸ₯° well known for their strong swimming skills.
These 3 were very entertaining, and I had the best job of building a bond with this gang, and getting to know there cheeky but super affectionate personalities.
We played various activities and they loved Hide n Seek.
I shall look forward to seeing them again real soon.

Had the most "clucking"time looking after these amazing chooks.
Meet John and Sally, these gorgoues ladies (yes John is a lady too 🀣) are so affectionate and very talkative and have the most unique characters.
Sally enjoys having her photo taken as you can see she has got into most of them, but John is more shy of the camera but is absolutely full of conversation. Would love to know what they really saying. Quite possibly laughing at me behind my back 🀣.

They enjoy a good dust bath and foraging around the garden through the plants herbs and grass, some places where they not meant to be too πŸ™„
They especially enjoyed a few mealie worms which worked a treat, when it was time to get them tucked into bed,and in return I was gifted some eggs by morning. ❀❀❀
Thank you very much ladies and thank you also to the owners for my thank you pressie of goodies, they will go down a treat, super kind of you. X

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't shown up in a while, I've been a little occupied with some little 🐦 feathered friends that needed my help, but also I spent a few days looking after this gorgoues family.β€πŸ’œπŸ’™β€
Say Hello to Mandu, Lenny, Kerra and Tegan
Mandu is a true Egyptian cat, absolutely gorgoues and I felt like Cleopatra being honoured to look after him and wonderful house mates.πŸ₯°
Kerra and Tegan are such gentle, playful and friendly characters, but boy are they fast on there feet i struggled to get a clear photo of them together, 🀣 they were bonkers, they certainly knew how to have a fun time. πŸ˜†
Finally Lenny" Cat, who was pretty shy, but was keen to follow me around and see what I was up to.
