Animal lover with vet experience!

Pet care experience

I've had 2 amazing dogs in my home since I was born! One large German Shepard mix and one small shih tzu. My first job was at a kennel where I gained experience caring for animals and reading their social cues with other pets and people. Additionally, I worked at a veterinary office throughout high school and college where I cared directly with dogs and cats, handled medication administration, and communicated with their owners. I am trained to safely restrain animals for medication administration and can handle difficult pups on walks. Today, I am a graduate student at Wayne in Detroit, MI looking to hang out with some pups! I am a student with rotations from 3:30-midnight everyday. I will be available weekdays before 3:30 and on the weekends! I am currently in an apartment downtown and will let pets out multiple times a day and take them at least once a day for a walk.

Michelle has watched my cats quite a few times now while I am out of town and has always made me feel very confident in the care my kitties are getting while I am gone. I would definitely recommend hiring her to keep your pets safe and comfortable at home as she is not only professional, but shows a deep compassion for animals and works hard to ensure they are well cared for and goes out of her way to play and keep them entertained.

Information Michelle D. would like to know about your pet

Before bringing your pet into my home I would like to know any history of their behaviors while you are away and how I could make them most comfortable. I like to ask how they socialize with other animals and people, if they can walk on a leash well, what triggers they have, and any special toys or treats they love!

A typical day

I love to take dogs to the riverfront or around the city on walks. I can also take them to trails nearby or the dog park depending on how well socialized they are.
