Floofins & Co., a pet sitting and dog walking company serving Elmhurst, La Grange, Downers Grove, Woodridge, Bolingbrook, Naperville, Hinsdale and surrounding Chicago suburbs, features Michele Hatley of our team of professional pet care professionals.
Animals have been a constant in Michele’s life. Over the years, her love for dogs developed into a passion for training after she was first introduced to obedience and agility when she was 13. Her enthusiasm and enjoyment for dogs and other animals led Michele to work at several boarding facilities and pet related businesses.
In her spare time, Michele volunteers in the Marine Mammals Department at Shedd Aquarium and competes in AKC agility trials with her dogs Patch, Gino and Buffy. Michele holds a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Indiana State University and is also taking courses through Western Illinois University to receive a certificate in Zoo and Aquarium Studies.
Keep an eye out for her sporting a Floofins & Co. t-shirt in your neighborhood.
