Hi, Iām Michelle ā the heart behind Shells Pet Services!
After moving to Atlantic, IA in July 2023, I noticed there werenāt many local options for boarding or pet sitting ā so I decided to bring back my pet sitting business and fill that gap for our community.
Iāve spent over 25 years working in the pet industry, including time with four different rescues, two veterinary clinics, and even managing a boarding facility. My journey has taken me from running my own pet sitting business in Carlisle, IA, to Nebraska where I worked as a dog walker and later as a Boarding Manager at Town and Country Animal Rescue for nearly four years.
Iāve worked with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. At Shells Pet Services, your pets become part of my family. I offer a cozy, home-like atmosphere with plenty of one-on-one attention ā because I care for your pets the way I want mine to be treated.
