Passionate about helping dogs feel loved & happy
Pet care experience
I was adopted by a senior Yorkie Poo (Fia). A first time dog owner as an adult, although we always had dogs and cats growing up. I’m so proud of everything Fia and I did together. She was an extremely anxious and worried little girl when she came to me, and older than her years. She aged into being a happy, confident, relaxed and fun-loving puppy before my eyes. I Ioved her more than anyone in this world. She sadly had to be put to sleep in March 2024 at almost 14 after a lung infection. It’s not the right time for me to have a new dog in my life and I am missing the company of dogs and all the joy and love they bring. And so, I am opening up my home to share with your beloved dogs. Whether it’s for a holiday, work trip or attending a wedding, know that your dog will be taken care of with such focus and joy. I also am available for chaperoning your companion to weddings - they don’t have to miss out on all the family fun. I have a secure, gated garden space for dogs to roam in whilst supervised. Games definitely take place in the garden here! I also grow curry plants in my garden (great for homemade curry) but are also a deterrent for cats, which is helpful for dogs who are unsure of cats. I’m passionate about using a positive approach to dog care that promotes building a strong bond with dogs where they have choices in what happens in their day. This is very important to me. Please note that I would prefer to look after small dogs only as that is my experience - and I have cream carpets until renovation and remodelling of my home, so would need to be able to carry a dog upstairs to the bath when bathing is required. I also have a great pet pram/stroller for pups not able to interact with other dogs or for senior dogs with mobility issues or those convalescing after illness or surgery. If I can answer any questions, please let me know. Michèle
Reviews
Michele was the best doggy mummy you could ever imagine, she recently lost her precious Fia and I can honestly say she treated Fia like her child (as you should!) loved, cared and gave her the absolute best life a dog could ever have, Fia was a very lucky pup! Michele would be an amazing choice to have as a dog walker/dogsitter, I can fully vouch for her love, kindness and absolute dedication towards not only dogs but to any living being.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced garden and no other pets. I work from home as a digital artist and Professional Photographer, and so can organise walks and play around my work. I’m also training for the Kiltwalk, so love getting out for long walks - there are so many choices in Falkirk and surrounding areas, which is great!

Information Michèle D. would like to know about your pet
Please just let me know anything specific. I have looked after pups, senior dogs and dogs who are blind, incontinent and diabetic and reactive dogs too.
A typical day
I love games that are appropriate to a dog’s age, abilities and interests. Whenever a dog has been in my care, I have been completely focussed on them and their experience. You won’t get me sitting on my phone ignoring a dog when out and about.

I made looking after a senior Yorkie Poo my life and adored every second of it. 5 years with her until she passed away was not enough. I’d love to pass on my care and attention to others’ beloved pets so you can be sure they are cared for when you need pet sitting.
