As a functional, holistic practitioner, I deeply understand the impact that movement, purpose, and genuine joy have on overall well-being. After the passing of my sweet boy, I knew it was essential for me to continue pursuing those elements in my own life, and what could be more healing than spending part of my days with dogs?

About Michelle D.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
From as far back as I can remember, animals have been a light in my life. What I love most about them is their innocence, there are few things in this world that carry the same purity they do. Time spent with animals feels light and genuinely medicinal. That connection became especially profound for me in 2021, when I rescued my “soul” dog, a mangled senior left to roam the streets. Loving him taught me more about life, presence, and what truly matters than any other experience ever could. Though sadly he passed in 2025, the time we shared, while short, felt like an entire lifetime. As a functional, holistic practitioner, I deeply understand the impact that movement, purpose, and genuine joy have on overall well-being. After the passing of my sweet boy, I knew it was essential for me to continue pursuing those elements in my own life, and what better way than spending part of my days with dogs? I approach every walk and visit with safety, patience, and presence as my top priorities. I move at your dog’s pace, build trust gently, and stay fully attentive to their needs. My goal is calm, reliable care that helps your dog feel secure, loved, and supported every step of the way.
Information Michelle D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of you're pet has any special/important needs or behaviors that I can pay extra attention to. I have a soft spot in my heart for senior pets especially.
A typical day
I take thoughtful walks that allow pets to explore safely and comfortably, and I’m always mindful to meet their everyday needs such as feeding, hydration, potty breaks, medications, enrichment, and lots of love and affection.
