Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of, and been surrounded by pets from a very young age. My childhood dog was a beagle mix and lived to be 16 years old! In 2018 my husband and I rescued an American Staffordshire Terrier named Tiger, and he has a tremendous amount of personality. Our first year with him we worked through various behavior issues (barking at everything in sight), and treatment for heartworm disease. I am familiar with and utilize clicker training with my dog, and can do the same when I have your pup out for walks. I also understand how critical it is to keep a dog calm when they are undergoing heartworm treatment (in addition to the frequent potty breaks some medications cause). You can rest assured knowing that your dog will be treated as a member of the family when they are under my care. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs lots of play time, or a professional couch potato, I will give them the best experience they can get!
Reviews
As always, Michelle did a great job with our boys!
Michelle is great! So sweet with our pup and sends awesome pics and videos!
Michelle is a very caring and responsive sitter. She takes better pictures of my cat than I ever do!
Thanks, Michelle! I think the boys enjoy their walks with Michelle so much that they are sad to see us come home.

Safety, trust & environment
My husband and I currently live in a 3-family home that we rent out to tenants. I am unfortunately unable to provide dog boarding services in my home, but can do dog sitting at your home. In my experience I’ve found that this provides a much more relaxed environment for your pet, when they are already having do manage their fur parents being away!
Information Michelle F. would like to know about your pet
To make sure your pet has a safe and healthy experience, I would like to be aware of any medications or behavioral tendencies. I don’t have any breed preferences/restrictions - I love all dogs! I am comfortable with transporting, lifting, carrying, etc. I have had experience dealing with/handling off-leash dogs in my neighborhood to avoid major conflicts. My car has seat covers, so if I am watching your dog, we will go on plenty of adventures!
A typical day
I am open to any/all recommendations where you like to have your dog walked! It can be a local park, trail, etc. I will make sure they come back tired and happy.
