You’re pet will feel at home.

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old. I learned a lot of training techniques as far as puppy training, leash, training, and behavioral correctives like leash pulling and food aggression. I am very regimented when it comes to giving medication exactly as directed and timely. I will also put out rugs and or blankets for dogs with hip dysplasia to make sure that when they are trying to get up there doing so as easily as possible, without slipping.

She was so amazing with my dogs. She would send me pictures and videos of my dogs when I had an emergency that took me out of state. My daughter even has a snake and she made sure to turn on and off the light for her as well as make sure she had fresh water the whole time we were gone. When I got home it was like I never left and was just coming home after a day of work. I have to say I didn’t ask but she brushed out my dogs for me which is always nice when you have huskies.

Information Michelle B. would like to know about your pet

Please be sure that if there are any special accommodations that I can account for with your dog, I do not want to give them anything that they may be allergic to or bring them around anything that might trigger them. My first dog as an adult was a rescue, he was really young when I got him, but there was enough done to him from the time he was born to when I got him that he turned out was terrified of sticks, and rushing water like lakes and rivers. I was able to help him over come the fear of sticks, however the rushing water was a little bit different so we just would go on hikes that didn't have a river right by us, and even if it did we just walked as far from it as possible.

A typical day

I use to be in the army so going outside whether permitting, I'm not one that likes to be outside when the temperature is below zero or higher than 95 degrees, I'm willing to go the extra miles to make sure that your dog gets just the right amount of energy they need. If they are high energy then we will be going for a run, granted as long as they are not trying to cut me off the whole time. We may just walk and work on leash training for a few sessions until they get the hang of it. Depending on your dogs age and breed will dictate if we are going to be going around the block or a 5 mile walk. If the weather is nice and with your permission, I would love to be able to load your dog up in my vehicle and take him on an actual hike on some of my favorite trails, they will be leashed and if you have any other requirements I will abide by all of them.
