Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of animals, my whole life, once I turned 20 I started to foster and re-home, I failed several times along the way and ended up keeping a dozen pooches with me until they crossed the bridge. I have some vet tech experience, I am animal first aid, and CPR certified. I have been through obedience training, and used the advanced military super puppy protocol, when my dog had puppies. I will probably remember your dogs name before I remember yours. I’m a huge animal lover, Ive been a pet mom to fish, rodents, reptiles (no snakes), birds, cats, dogs, chickens and a pig. Im not intimidated by many wild animals, I don’t hesitate to approach farm animals, cows are my favorite. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I currently have a cane corso, boston terrier/french bulldog and pet mini pig. I frequently socialize my dogs at the park/farm with people other dogs and farm animals and have frequent play dates with several other friends/dog moms. Im passionate about pooches and making sure they thrive throughout their best life. Please check out my instagram page for photos of my adventures with my dog sitting/walking clients and I.
Reviews
Michele was so accommodating at the last minute. My pup was happy to make a new friend. Micheles care was exceptional! I appreciated the communication & pics of my doggie enjoying herself. I Would highly recommend Michele!
Michele was absolutely wonderful! Easy to work with, quick to respond, constant updates. I could tell that my boys were thoroughly enjoying her and see that she cares. 5 star approval!
Our requests were simple, but Michelle went above and beyond what we asked of her. We were so grateful to her for watching our two girls while we were out of town. The pictures made us so happy. Would happily hire her again!!
Outstanding job by Michele, hope we get to use her again

Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced yard, we have crates. We have plenty of bowls, leashes, training treats, Tuffy toys, and tug o war ropes. I walk my dogs daily 2-3 miles. They get treats for tricks and praise for good behaviors and habits. They each have stuffed animals and tons of toys, they are spoiled. My pets are family and I treat all pets and animals as if they are my own family. I also provide all the pupdates during walks/drop ins/stays etc.
Information Michele B. would like to know about your pet
Any medical information, feeding/walking schedules, activity preferences. Dog park, tug o war, fetch, laser light etc. Knowing signs that the pup uses to alert you to go out, pawing at the door, whining, door bells etc. Please provide me with obedience commands/words/marks that you use to recall, crate, release/drop/leave it.
A typical day
This depends on the dogs age/energy, walks, trails, swimming, tricks for treats, dog parks. I like to take a toy on walks for various reasons, to get the dog’s attention off of other dogs to avoid barking back and to train the dog to ignore the other dogs barking through the fence. Not to react. I work on training/commands and leash manners. My dog loves to go to the water, I take her tennis ball to play fetch with. We like to look for frogs, crickets (she loves bugs and frogs), deer and fox.

I have decided to cut back on massage clients as it’s physically demanding and after 14 years I need to move around more, massage is pretty sedentary. Also 14 years in the massage world in a dark room all day, 5 days a week, I would like to get outside more. I hope to take on dog walking, grooming and nail trims, etc. as a part time gig. Next to massage, Dogs and puppies are my jam. I can also provide canine massage. 🫶🏻🐾
