Hi there, 

My name is Michelle, I’ve loved animals all my life. My early work life was as a Veterinary nurse but I transitioned to people’s health and I have worked as a Registered Psychiatric Nurse for the past 25yrs. However, I never lost my love of animals and I began my volunteer work with animals in 2013 where I volunteered with Edgar‘s Mission and with a Wildlife Shelter in the Macedon Ranges. In 2019 I subsequently took over, with my partner, the running of the Wildlife Shelter which primarily focused on the rescue and rehabilitation of orphaned and injured Easter Grey Kangaroos. This shelter ran very successfully for 4 more years until its closure in 2023. 

I am still involved with wildlife care and I continue to volunteer regularly at another wildlife shelter. 

Because of my love for all animals I’ve been vegan for 12 years, regularly donating & fundraising for animal charities. 

I’ve been a dog walker in the past for many years with the RSPCA and have experience with all breeds & sizes. I also have experience with dogs and cats with anxiety/trauma so any animal in my care is in safe hands. My best friend back in Ireland had a pet minding business & I was actively involved with her business & regularly took over her business when she was unavailable.

In my spare time I mollycoddle my three rescue cats. I’m a scuba diver & enjoy keeping fit. I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets. 

As I am now working part time I'm am flexible to work around your fur kids needs. 

Because of my nursing career I have both my police check & working with children certificate.
