Experienced Dog Caretaker

Pet care experience

I owned an elderly 14year old dog allowing me to know all sorts of tricks to keep a dog of any size and energy level entertained. I'm also studying as Veterinary Technician so have experience giving dogs all kinds of medications from pills to liquids to powders both orally and injection. When it comes to knowledge, I worked at Petco for close to two years giving me a vast understanding about various dogs from small to giant breeds as well as expertise about various toys, foods, and other such items to keep your furry friend happy, healthy, and exercised. I also have a great deal of experience in handling multiple dogs at once both on and off the leash. Based on my experiences both in and out of Petco, I have a vast comprehension of the handle and care for other animals (birds, cats, small animals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, exotics, etc.) if you have any of those critters as well! For more information or questions about about my rates and services, please feel free to contact me and I will happily answers any concerns or comments you may have!

Michelle is reliable, detailed in her report cards, and our dog Cheddar loves walking with her and the attention she gives!

Seemed to take fine care of the dogs which is the most important thing. The dogs only needed food and overnight company. With a doggie door there was almost nothing else to do with them, not even walks, although I do ask that a person let the dogs sleep with them. That’s the biggest ask I have. She sent a couple of status pictures during the week which was nice. As a house-sitter, I would have preferred the house to be in at least as least as good of state as I left it with no trace of someone else being there except for maybe a nice note when I get back which there was none. That’s what I’m used to going through Rover.

Information Michelle F. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs (and other animals). The only thing that I ask is if the dog has any medications, special needs, or triggers like doesn't like other dogs/ kids.

A typical day

I love to make sure that all my clients are happy, safe, and healthy while in my care. I love to take dogs to local parks and dog parks especially when the weather is nice.
