Pet care experience

I’m very active, I Love dogs! I am looking forward to having so much fun with various doggies! I know how to train with simple tricks as well! I have a flexible schedule and small car seat for my car, I have a kennel, carrier, and dog seat cover for the larger dogs and I don’t mind them in my car if need be! I’ve owned numerous pets all my life and love interacting with them, I will treat them like my own! I currently have one Chihuahua, however I will be getting another dog soon, I work at home so I have plenty of time for them! I can work with you as needed!

Michelle is very responsible and communicates perfectly. My dog loved her from the meet and greet. I came home to a happy, empty (LOL) dog. I will use Michelle whenever the need arises, she's wonderful.
