Walks & Sniffs Sessions!
Pet care experience
I have done drop in visits for my family and friends’ dogs. I treat them as if they’re were my dog. Making sure they have everything they need including belly scratches or whatever your dog loves! I also have my own dog (Australian cattle mix) as well so I understand how hard it is to trust others with your baby. It’s still a struggle for us too. But, I’ll check in and send pictures/videos or whatever you’d like to put you at ease.
Reviews
Michelle is caring and attentive pet caregiver! Michelle has taken care of my two dogs (Chihuahua/Pomeranian and Shih Tzu) a number of times. Michelle takes her time to ask questions regarding the dogs diets, any medications, walking/playing needs, and any changes to know about since the last visit. Both my dogs love Michelle and I trust her fully to care for both my fur kids!

Safety, trust & environment
My dog has a set schedule in our own home. From scheduled meals, pee/poops, walks, sniffing sessions, and snacks. We know that dogs love structure and want ways to decompress. I have a long leash that also allows them to run around a bit or do some sniffing sessions. With your permission of using treats (pending any allergies or if you have treats of your own that I can use), I like to have them play a game where they find it in the grass. It’s said that 15 min of sniffing is an hour of physical exercise for them. I do a mix of sniffing, playing ball, and walks. I can also customize to whatever your dog also loves to do.

Information Michelle C. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what your dog’s preferences are. If they have any allergies or medications that are needed. Things I should avoid (other pets) or even places (busy streets). Let me know your dogs’ past experiences so I can be mindful.
A typical day
Because I have a high energy dog, I know dogs need both physical and mental exercise. Whether it’s walking for a certain amount of time, playing ball, or sniffing for treats in the grass. We can walk neighborhoods or a big park. We can also work on socializing and just sit at a bench and get a treat every time they make eye contact. It really depends on your dogs needs!
