My name is Michelle, I'm 26, and I love dogs - it's as simple as that! It's my goal to provide love, attention, and pats to all dogs! I'm eager to get to know your furry friends through walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays and give exceptional care every time! Back in high school, I used to volunteer at a local animal shelter and humane society to walk and care for the dogs there. I also have 11+ years experience with my parents' now 13-year old geriatric rescue dog. I have developed immense patience while hand-feeding her and administering her medications. She is quite lethargic now; I miss the days where we could go for walks longer than just to the backyard! Additionally, I have a couple years' experience handling parrots, as well as small animals (Guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters).
