Information Michele L. would like to know about your pet

Your dog should not be aggressive or one that is prone to bite and gets along with other animals. I get it if they don't and we can work around that, just need to know. If in my home...it would be nice if your dog is housebroken, but I understand some seniors need wraps and or pads. I will also help potty training puppies. Hopefully your dog is comfortable riding in the car so we can go on adventures.

A typical day

Walking, play, ball, some training or working on tricks/commands you are teaching, hide and seek, dancing, hugs, nap time, water play, running, Frisbee, treats, tuggy...whatever your dog enjoys most.

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover...have had pets my whole life. I currently live with one cat. I will take good care of your babies and they will have fun. I can do short & multiple daily visits closer to my home, longer ones/overnights farther away, or they can stay with me. Discounts for longer housesitting stays. Further away areas may require covering transportation costs. I currently work part time, so I have lots of time to spend with your pet. Play time and cuddle time are essential. Let me know what activities your pet enjoys. I will be directly with your pet most of the time. Depending on what you request, our activities will vary. Will do my best to stick to your pets' schedule and routine.

Such a great experience with Michele! Our dog got lots of exercise and attention. At the end of the day we picked up a happy and tired dog! We felt really comfortable with Michele and would definitely work with her again! Thanks!!
