Can handle any dog! I LOVE them all
Pet care experience
I've had dogs (and cats) all my life; from cocker spaniels to Great Danes! I love how each and every one of them had a different personality. Some were laid back and easy going and some have been very challenging. I currently have an almost 13 yr old Black Lab/Great Dane mix and an 2.5 year old Great Dane. When I adopted my Lab/Dane mix, he had fear based aggression towards people and dogs. After many obedience classes and private training sessions, he is now a big sweetheart. He has taught me the importance of being patient, calm and consistent! Skills I'm putting to good use with my Dane (who still thinks she's a puppy) and will use with your dog too. Your fur babies will got lots of love and attention from me! I also have a lot of experience with doggie health care and giving medications. I've been through it all with my pets. I had a cat that I had to give subcutaneous fluids to twice a week, a dog that I gave allergy shots to, a dog who had two total hip replacements due to hip dysplasia and a dog with a form of lupus who had to have 5 different pills twice a day. So...lots of experience! I'm very dependable, organized, and have great attention to detail. If I tell you I'll be there, I will.
Reviews
Michele helped us out in a bind when our pet sitter cancelled due to an emergency. She went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were taken care of. We really appreciate her services!
Michele was great; showed up on time and our kitties were happy to have some attention and love while we were on vacation.
Michele is an absolutely wonderful sitter that made me comfortable from the meet-and-greet onward. Each post-visit summary had plenty of pictures and details about our two cats. Based on what she wrote, I'm certain that she understood and cared for our cats as she would her own. Their quirks were considered and handled with gentle humor and consummate professionalism (as one is a bit of a picky eater). When she returned my house key, both cats were eager to see her and went straight up to her for attention. I can't think of a better review than that. I'd happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and professional cat sitter.
My giant boy loves when Michele drops in for her visits. They play and have a great time. We're so lucky to have found her.

Safety, trust & environment
I am very careful with making sure your pets never get loose while walking. As a pet owner myself, my biggest nightmare is losing one of my dogs.
Information Michele W. would like to know about your pet
I always ask what commands the dog knows, whether they have any special needs, or any challenges. I also ask about any favorite treats or if they have any dietary restrictions?
A typical day
We can walk around your neighborhood or go to a nearby park. I'm great at throwing a frisbee (had a dog who was obsessed!) and tennis balls.
