Safety, trust & environment

I am very careful on walks of what the dogs are encountering. If your dog has any triggers, please let me know and I’ll work with your dog to try to avoid, distract, and provide positive reinforcement.

Information Michelle C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any triggers or sensitivities. I’m happy to work around them. Please also let me know if your dog enjoys time with other dogs for walks or if it prefers to be alone with me.

A typical day

I like to exercise both a dog’s body and mind. At home we can do training, puzzles, sniff mats, games, and play with their favorite toys. On walks I like to engage with the dogs by rewarding positive behavior, practicing recall, and allowing them plenty of time to work their nose as well as their body!

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my whole life of all different breeds! I think they’re the most amazing animals, and I love spending time with them. I’ve been dog sitting for a few people in my network for the past year and want to expand my services. I do a lot of self-research on training and best pet practices so I can take the best care of my animal BFFS as I can. I’m passionate about animal care. A dog walk is time for your dog to exercise, learn, sniff, and explore, and I take that time seriously.

Michelle was the best thing for rookie, she made sure to help him feel comfortable and confident around other dogs as he has gotten so much better with reactivity. She updated me on how he was progressing and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care :) 10/10 would recommend !!

Michelle has been an absolute gift for me and my dog, Kevin. Kevin is large, strong, and very particular (aka not the easiest dog to care for), and Michelle has handled him with incredible patience, confidence, and genuine care. She is conscientious, reliable, and truly takes the time to understand Kevin’s needs, routines, and personality. I always feel completely at ease knowing he’s with her, whether it’s for walks or extended care. She treats Kevin like her own, and it shows in how calm, happy, and well cared for he is when he’s with her. If you’re looking for someone who can handle big dogs, challenging personalities, and still provide loving, attentive care, Michelle is exceptional. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Michelle is an incredibly responsible, attentive, and loving pet caregiver. She treats every animal like her own, communicates clearly, and always makes sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. My pup Baloo bonded with her right away. Highly recommended!

Michelle has always been an animal lover and been around dogs her whole life. I have two dogs and trust her to take care of them at any time. She has spent many days and hours with them and they love when she walks in the door. She has the best pup of her own that she treats as a mini human, he is so well taken care of. She’s more than capable and reliable to take care of any animal!
