Loving Care in Pickering 🐾

I’ve been an animal lover and dog walker since I was a child, I find great passion and joy in being able to spend my free time caring for dogs. I recently just moved to Pickering from Scarborough so I am now accepting new clients again as everything is settled in. I am now working Full Time from home. This does give me some flexibility:) I have a big back yard which is fenced which will provide your dog with lots of room to run around and safety. There are also many enclosed grass parks in the area to enjoy.

We had a great experience with Michelle! She took great care of our dog, Storm, while we were away on vacation. She had great communication with us and Storm loved her! Thanks again Michelle! :)

Thank you Michelle for taking care of Bailey like your own. Most of all, thanks a lot for letting me feel at ease and for giving me the comfort that everything will be alright leaving my boy for a day - I very much appreciate your service and I am looking forward to doing it again.

Michelle is amazing!! I was nervous to leave my dog for over a week, and Michelle definitely put my mind at ease. She read through all the information I provided about Snickers and reached out for any missed information or tips, sent photo updates daily, and answered all my questions right away. It was clear that Michelle's house became a "vacation home" to Snickers. When my husband picked her up, she was content and in no rush to leave! I will definitely be sending Snickers back for a vacation in the future! We're so glad we found her, and we know Snickers is too!

Michelle is now our go-to sitter. She always keeps us updated and makes sure our dog is doing well.

Our dog loves staying with Michelle. He was well taken care of and he looks very happy. We will hire Michelle again next time we are in the area. 💯
