Tail Wagging Experienced Dog Care

Pet care experience

Over 20 years of experience working with dogs. Not only as a walker and sitter who provides drop in visits, but also as a volunteer at a no-kill animal shelter and have helped rescue a few lost pups. I know a happy dog is one that's safe in the familiar surroundings of it's home, one that's given unconditional love, fed healthy foods, and given clean water. I provide play/exercise time, walking, feeding, and follow all your instructions. I have owned many dogs as well... for me and my past clients our furry companions are family member's, like children. I'm extremely keen on sensing a dogs body language and know their tails speak to us! My choice of work is something I'm passionate about so you can be assured your dog will be in good hands. I also make sure to lock up your home upon leaving and can even send a photo of your pet while I'm there. I'm flexible, compassionate and highly knowledgeable in canine care and health. Keeping your pet happy and safe is what I do. Save $20 on your first booking with me, use Promo Code: MICHES16724. I look forward to my next canine client, thank you!

Michele was my dog walker for several years when I lived in Huntington, NY. My dog Charlie loved her! She always gave him extra play time and gave me a lot of tips on his wellbeing. I used Michele for daily afternoon walks and overnight care when I traveled. I never worried when I left him at her home.

Michele took care of JoJo my Cockapoo for almost 3 years until she relocated. For me she was loving, conciencious, readily available and flexible. For my quirky, precious fur-boy she was more than a sitter - he loved going to her house, snuggling on her couch, sleeping over in her bed. She became his “girlfriend” and he was always excited to go to her house and sometimes reluctant to leave. She knows a lot about animal behavior and training, she spent a lot of time walking and playing with him and will easily accommodate your needs whether you need her to come to your house or to have your dog at hers. JoJo and I were both sorry to see her move, and I have no hesitation in recommending her as an excellent choice for caring for your beloved pet.

Michele is one of the most compassionate pet sitters I know. She has an deep knowledge and understanding of what dogs need and herself has taken in and healed rescues. She is very responsible and work with many various situations. Most important is that you can trust your beloved pet with Michele as I have.
