Pet care experience

South Shore Dog Services!

I have over 10 years of experience with dogs, I currently own a very calm and friendly 9 year old dog and in the past, have co-owned two dogs with my large family. I've been responsible for caring, feeding, walking, training, cleaning, and grooming my dogs and pets. I have experience babysitting children and dogs at the same time so have no problem multi tasking. I have patience and respect for all trained/disciplined dogs. I am friendly, energetic and enjoy having the company of a dog to watch, walk, run, or play with. I will listen to you and your dogs needs and service to the best of my abilities! I own my home that has a large yard and great walking neighborhood and live close to two large parks. I live in a safe and friendly neighborhood where I would love to walk or your dog or welcome to stay with us for a day 🙂

Michaela was great with Buster, he got to play with other dogs and she took him out to play a bunch and gave great updates! She even watched our snail for the day. We already booked Michaela for next week!
