Get to Know Our Warm, Welcoming, and Compassionate Team

Michelle - Owner

I started Angel Paws in June of 2017, and we officially opened in October of that year. When I lost my precious dog, Kasey. I felt that I had to provide fellow pet owners with a caring, compassionate option for aftercare. Its Kasey’s legacy that all the pets that arrive here are loved, cuddled and treated like family. My favourite part of this job is providing pet owners with the care and kindness in moments they need it most. The best part of my day is listening to the stories we hear about the pets we love and miss so dearly and the tales of how loved each one of our fur family members are, passed and present. As an owner I have fantastic staff that I consider family, they allow me to be the homebody I am. I enjoy spending my time with my friends and family crafting, sewing, quilting and cross stitching. I love getting home to cuddle with my fur babies, Smokey and Magic my 10-year-old Domestic long-haired cats and Dobby, my 5-year-old Yorkshire terrier (who rules us all.)
