Dog-loving flexible sitter & walker

Pet care experience

I'm a lifelong dog lover looking forward to meeting you and your pooch! Being home full time, I pride myself in offering the flexibility to cater to you - meaning more love, walks, and drop-ins for your fur baby! I understand that our pets are part of the family and should be treated as such. I vow to be dedicated to your four-legged best friends, their needs, and your specific requests. I have a car and am willing to come to you for day care pick-ups and drop-offs, check ins, or walks in your neighborhood. I am also open for cat visits in your own home. My goal is the make your pet care easy and stress-free! I do have my own dog so your furry friend will always have a playmate! I do my very best to ensure that your dog is my only guest so they get all the attention and love possible. That being said, I do require a Meet & Greet before accepting any Day Care requests just to ensure that our dogs will be best buddies! Our apartment is a one bedroom and dogs are allowed on both couches and in every room. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or inquiries. I'm very open, responsive, and will take same-day, last minute, or recurring requests. Looking forward to caring for your pets! **Due to my current lease agreement and apartment's policies I'm unfortunately not permitted to board the following breeds - Malamutes, Dobermans, Bulldogs, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and Mastiffs. However, I am more than happy to provide my services through drop ins and dog walks. Please contact me if you have any questions.**

Another great visit by Michelle with our older dog, Pima. Pima doesn’t even bark anymore she likes Michelle so much. She sends updates with great photos and I was able to book last minute. She’s fantastic!

Michelle was so responsive and set up a meet and greet at my home prior to dropping in to not only walk Cora but provide company (and a Corgi playmate!) the following Saturday evening. It was my first time leaving her for more than 3 hours so not only could I go enjoy my night worry free but I got cute updates and saw how happy and well taken care of my puppy was! I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a thoughtful, caring, communicative, fellow puppy parent who understands the needs of all age ranges and breeds!

Michelle was fantastic with our older dog. We did a meet and greet before and Pima really liked her. She was super positive, experienced and listened to Pima’s needs when she wanted more ear scratch time and less walk time :-) Pima loved her almost immediately. We definitely plan to use Michelle again in the future.

Information Michelle D. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog crate trained? Although crate trained dogs are preferred, I will make exceptions. Does your dog have any triggers? Is your dog food or leash aggressive?

A typical day

We like to walk in the quiet neighborhood of Glover Park and often visit the adjacent trails in the nearby woods. We also have a non-fenced yard where pups can play together and socialize on leash.
