“Michelle is an absolute gem of a dog walker! From the moment she met my Guster, I knew we were in good hands. Her genuine love for animals is clear in everything she does — from the way she greets Gussy with enthusiasm each visit, to the thoughtful updates and photos she sends after every walk. Michelle is dependable, professional, and truly treats Guster like her own. My dog lights up when she sees Michelle, and I have total peace of mind knowing hes being cared for with such kindness and attention. Rain or shine, Michelle always shows up with a smile and ensures my biy gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. Finding someone you can trust to care for your animal as you do is no small thing, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found Michelle. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, caring, and simply amazing with dogs — look no further. Michelle is the best!”
