Patient and Outgoing Dog Lover!
Pet care experience
I'm a huge dog lover and grew up with a terrier mix who lived to be 17 years old. When he passed away recently I knew I wanted to find a way to keep dogs in my life, and walking dogs is the perfect way to do that. I have experience taking care of senior pets and always treat other dogs as if they were my own—with patience, attention, and love.
Reviews
Michelle has been incredible walking our dogs, they absolutely love her! We went out of town and felt at ease knowing they were getting the best care with her. She also has walked them and they are always excited to see her. Michelle is punctual and reliable, highly recommend.
About Michelle D.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Trust is the most important part of a dog-walking relationship for me, and I will take the time to get to know your dog's habits and expectations to make the walks as smooth as possible. I only accept walks with dogs I feel absolutely confident handling, so that you don't have to worry about leaving your baby with me.
Information Michelle D. would like to know about your pet
Don't hesitate to let me know if your dog has any special needs or certain behavior that I should keep in mind while watching them! I have experience taking care of small dogs and dogs up to the size of huskies, but it's good to know if your dog tends to pull on leashes and how you've trained them to behave on walks.
A typical day
I love to make all dogs as happy as possible, whether that's playing tug of war with them, going on walks around the neighborhood and at nearby parks, or playing fetch with their favorite toy! I live right next to a 3 mile trail, making it perfect and convenient for shorter or longer walks.

Michelle can watch in your home
Availability
I currently work as a freelancer and have a flexible schedule with plenty of room for walks! I'm available on weekends with enough notice (~1 weeks notice), but am more responsive during the week and can make time for last-minute walks too! I would love to become a regular walker for the right dog to develop a relationship of trust and comfort with them!
