Your dog is my dog

Pet care experience

I am a dog trainer who works with different dogs every day. I just love coming home to a furry face. Dogs and cats have always been apart of my life. My family and friends will tell you that I am a big animal lover and consider them a part of the family. I give 100% of my love to all animals, furry, feathery, or slithery. I will go above and beyond to make sure your furry friend is safe and having a good time. It's important to make sure that your dog will feel comfortable and stress-free with me and my pets, so I will always ask for a meet-and-greet. Your dog will tell us if we are a perfect fit. Paws crossed that we are.

Michelle is the most diligent person to ever take care of our doggy. She’s proactive about his needs, reports if anything is out of the ordinary, offers solutions and even runs out to get dog food if what we left ended early. Our pupper has been on her care multiple time for extended periods and is always happy!

This was the second time that Michelle looked after our pup. You will not find anyone more attentive and caring. Great communication and clear concern for the dog’s wellbeing. We’ll definitely book again!

Michelle was great! She and her family took good care of Moira. Moira felt at home! On my way back home my flight was delayed three times due to weather. Michelle was very understanding and accommodating. Thanks again Michelle for EVERYTHING!

Michelle was wonderful with my dog Malibu. I received daily updates with pics of my dog as requested. I was hesitant to leave my dog for 12 days, but when it came time for me to pick my dog up I could tell that she was well cared for. Hence I'd highly recommend Michelle for your dog .

Information Michelle C. would like to know about your pet

Please note that I do not take any dogs who resource guard or are reactive on or off the leash. Your dog MUST get along with ALL dogs and not chase cats. I have two senior cats, so I do not want to confine my cats because they are being chased. I also do not take dogs who are not completely housebroken.

A typical day

All dogs are walked at least 4 times a day. I will do more walks for those dogs that need more exercise. I only walk dogs in my neighborhood. I will never take them to dog parks or onto busy streets.
