Dogs & walks make me happy 🥰

Pet care experience

Like almost all dogs, I enjoy car rides, fetch & long walks. That is only part of the reason why I love and get along with dogs. I’ve had my own dog for 8 years from a puppy until she passed. I cared for her when she got diabetes and eventually lost her eyesight. I missed being a dog owner, which brought me to dog walking. I’ve been walking other people’s dogs & becoming part of their pack steadily for 3 years. I have experience with basic training (i.e. basic commands, eliminate jumping up, coming when called/not running away when the door’s open, etc.) and proper leash walking for puppies and adult dogs. I believe old dogs CAN learn new tricks! I am skilled in building trust with dogs through play, affection and confidence. I have successfully trained dogs to walk with a lax leash and a diminished likelihood of lashing out/chasing after other animals (when on a lead).

She responded our requests very quickly and took care of my dog for 3 days while our regular walker isn't available. Great to have someone that we can rely on when we need. Thank you, Michelle!

Michelle is great with our Shadow. I love getting updates about the walk from Michelle and appreciate her sharing if Shadow had any issues during their walk.

Information Michelle B. would like to know about your pet

I can usually pin down the dog’s personality after a walk or two but knowing its human preferences is helpful (i.e. are they scared of men/women/kids, do they react adversely if a stranger wants to come up to pet them)? I am comfortable working with aggressive or dog/human reactive dogs, I will just need to know the extent of their fear/aggression before we begin our walks.

A typical day

Depending on the area I will be dog walking I love to take dogs to green spaces like parks or fields. Neighborhood walks are also great places to start if teaching proper leash walking is required. If there is a water source (pond, fountain, etc.) around, I like to take my furry friends around there as well.
