Michelle was a great dog walker! She showed up on time, communicated well, and rolled with changes in the weather. Most important, our dog loved her!

Michelle was very dependable and took good care of my dogs while I was gone out of town. My daughter stopped by one day and she told me not to worry about the dogs they were in good hands. I was nice to know they were being well cared for.

House Sitting • Dec 02, 2024

Michelle was the perfect sitter for our dog. I am extremely grateful to have found her. Our older German Shepherd is going blind and is very much an inside dog because the sun is very damaging to her eyes. We needed to I find someone who was able to be here during the day so that Lacie could stay inside. Michelle was the perfect fit!! She played with her outside so she could still get a little exercise but then could stay in for the majority of the day. We are very grateful for her!!

Safety, trust & environment

I enjoy staying at peoples houses, but also board. I only board small dogs or medium sized dogs that are not the breed that will go after guinea pigs!!! I do from 1-14 days, as far as boarding and sitting goes. I keep an animal comfortable, provide companionship, exercise and a lot of attention, as this is my full time job. I love to walk them and do whatever the client requests.

A typical day

i love to walk dogs on trails near and in my hometown. I also like to take them to dog parks, but will only allow them off leash if I am sure they will manageable. I like to throw toys to them and play tug of war.

0 to 15 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Michelle can host up to 1 pet per night
I would definitely want to know the size of the dog in case I want to use one of my stronger leashes. I would like to know the breed, if he walks well, and if he/she is hospitable with other dogs.
