Highlights
Pet care experience
Your fur-babies are my love
My 1st Dog, a German Shepard, Bert was born 2 weeks after I was, a puppy of my parents litter and had grew up with him till I was 13 yrs old. I always wanted to be a vet and by the time I was 5 years old had my own Rabbits and Hamsters. In my early teens we got another German Shepard, I go my 1st Ferret and we had acquired a cat Smokey :) With my love of animals shortly after as I was out of High School, I started working at a vet clinic at the age of 19 as a vet assistant, and worked as a full time vet tech for another 6 years, then working part-time for another 15 years, once moving to south Florida, I worked part time training dogs. I have raised and adopted my fair share of Dogs (as large as a Great Dane), Ferrets, and cats. Now living in South Florida I am a single parent of a 4 year old Dogo Argentino. I miss working with animals, making those connections and an impact on their life. This is why I am looking to help love and care for your

Safety, trust & environment
I am highly trained on how to properly walk dogs, and am familiar with all training styles - Harness, Prong, Shock collar, gentle leaders, ect. I have personally trained dogs to all training styles which will is great if you have multi- dog household with different walking gear and needs. I have trained 230lb large breeds to 5 pounds dogs, including walking Ferrets, as my ferrets we all harness trained to walk :)
Ratings and reviews
She’s great. Very reliable
We had a great experience with Michelle, she did a great job and our cats really seem to like her a lot. We will definitely be using her in the future as well. Thank you Michelle! :)
Went above and beyond!
Michelle took care of my French Bulldog, Frankie for several years before I moved. Frenchies are not exactly low maintenance dogs, and Michelle was not only knowledgeable about the breed, and dogs in general, she became one of my dog’s besties! She genuinely cares about animals and was always in communication with me when I was out of town, consistently sending photos so that I was comfortable. The biggest recommendation that I can give is Frankie’s reaction every time she was dropped off with Michelle- she got clearly excited when we pulled in her parking lot, and I quickly became chopped liver. I certainly miss having Michelle to take care of my fur baby, and I can’t recommend her enough to take care of yours!
She handles my 3 ChiChi’s and my old Golden with loving care. Follows feeding instructions and medication applications. Always on time. I know I can count on her in a pinch.
