"100% recommend! We used Shell for our 4 month old puppy when we were taking a vacation. She kept me updated on how he was doing daily & sent pictures of him. She took great care of our boy. We will be using her again in the future!"

" We highly recommend Shells Pet Services for your 4 legged family members. We were gone for 10 days & each day we were sent photos of our fur babies! Shell is the most loving person you will find. We arrived to pick our 3 up, and they didn't want to leave. They had so much fun. We are looking forward to visiting more. Jake, Gracie and Victoria give her 4 out of 4 paws up!"

"We absolutely love Shells Pet Services, we have used them faithfully for a year now. Michelle takes such great care of our cats while we are away, sending us daily updates & so many pictures.

"100% recommend Shells Pet Services. Michelle goes above & beyond caring for your fur babies. She cared for our dog, Joker, for 4 days and 3 nights. I received daily updates and pictures. Even had a little surprise for us that Joker painted when we picked him up. Michelle has the trusted experience and knowledge. We are so impressed with her. She treats them like her own."

"We used Shells Pet Services for the first time a couple of weeks ago for an day stay for our dog because we needed to be out of town. Michelle was great to work with, and our dog liked her too! We will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!

Donna Jirsa (Ebony) 8/15/25

"Thank you so much Michelle! It makes it a little easier to leave them when I go away knowing they are well taken care of and took the stress of leaving them away. If anyone needs a pet sitting service, please consider Shells Pet Services, she is wonderful with pets, trustworthy, and amazing. Thank you for sending texts and pictures every single day!"

"Moosey boy enjoys hanging next door! Thank you for always loving on him when we are away!"

'My dogs LOVE when Michelle comes to visit and so does their human (me). She spends quality time with them and follows any special orders, if I leave specific instructions for them. She is a true pet lover and will take care of your pet as if her own. My biggest appreciation from Michelle is that she always sends me pictures of my dogs when she's done visiting and a personal note that tells me ie: they went potty, Murphy didn't eat or Riley got a little muddy but I tried to clean his paws. I can't tell you how much those little extra touches make a difference in knowing my pets are being taken care of when I am unable to do so. I'd hire Michelle all day long if you are even considering her."

Marti Williams (Timber, Murphy, Riley) 12/27/23

"I first met Michelle through a dog rescue through which we both volunteered and fostered. I immediately fell in love with her character and her love for animals.... Dogs in particular. She helped me temperament test one of my foster dogs by bringing her dog to my house and then to take them on a walk together. We started talking frequently, and I learned of her at-home boarding facility, so I went to check it out. The set up she had and the care she provided was hands down, the most ideal option for both my foster and adopted dogs, so I started boarding with her. She is very experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to dogs, behaviors, body language, proper introductions and integrations, and she knows how to handle dogs that are reactive to other dogs. I am still devastated that she and her husband moved away. Michelle would be an asset to any kind of business and any client that she worked with. I highly recommend Michelle for any kind of dog related job. Dogs are her passion."

Katie Peno (Lela) 12/27/23

"We have used Michelle a few different times to care for our animals. It was super important for us to leave our animals with someone that would love them as much as we do, and Michelle was the perfect match! She went above and beyond when caring for our dogs and was willing to send us photos and updates of them as well. Will continue to use and recommend her services!"

Jena V Clemons 12/27/23

"I work with Michelle at a boarding facility, and I can honestly say that she cares SO much about animals! She always goes above and beyond to make sure they are cared for as if they are her own family members! She also makes sure they all feel loved, safe, and comfortable while they are away from their families. Michelle is a responsible, caring, and all-around amazing person who will treat your pets like family and give them the wonderful care they deserve! I know you and your pets will just love getting to know her! :)"

Krystina Leighner 12/27/23

" I used Shells Pet Services when we were on vacation and it was a fabulous experience! They are very accommodating, give you daily updates on your pets, including pictures, are super reasonably priced, and really easy to work with. My pets were safe, well cared for and happy. I highly recommend them."

Lynne Kluever (HarryElla, Dobie, Kreacher & Pearl) 9/10/25

"Michelle is the absolute best!
She has been our dog sitter for the past year and we could not be happier. Not only is she kind and loving to our 3 fur babies, but she is reliable, affordable, and gives us peace of mind we need when we're away from home. I highly recommend Shells Pet Services, LLC!!!"

"Michelle is wonderful, caring, and detail oriented. She has so much knowledge about animals and will bend over backwards to make sure your pet is well taken care of. I worked with her for several years when she was manager of boarding at the animal rescue.... highly recommend."
