Dogs are life, tell me I'm wrong

Lifelong (35 years) dog lover and owner of a golden retriever. I begged my parents growing up to get our family a dog...luckily after all of my persistence, my mom and dad finally gave in. My family got two dogs within a few weeks of one another, a Chocolate Lab and a Brittany. Both had a lot of energy and were very loving. Of course, the dogs came with the responsibilities which I happily took on. I loved taking them for walks, meal time, playing fetch in the yard, and even the poop scoopin' duties. Currently, I work from home and get to spend all day with my golden retriever Stark. I want to help the other working dog moms and dads in my community who don't have the luxury of being home with their dog every day. If you want help to take your dog out to go potty, go for a walk, snuggle, just visit, or play, then I'm the one for you!!

Safety, trust & environment

If any dog steps it's paws in to my home or yard, I'll treat them like a part of my own family. Just seeing a dog puts a smile on my face. I have a large home with wood floors. There's also a large nearby fenced-in dog park a few miles from my house where I take my golden retriever to really run off the zoomies. I love my dog and I'm obsessed with him. Every photo on my phone is of my dog, my kids, or food, the three loves of my life...oh and my husband, he's got a few photos in there too.

I've never met anyone that loves and genuinely cares for every dog that she comes across as much as Michelle. As a dog mommy herself, she possesses all of the skills and knowledge needed to take care of your pup in any situation. The dog's needs are clearly always the first priority for Michelle, and it shows. She treats every single dog like they're her own, and I'd trust her wholeheartedly with my puppy any time.

We've had Michelle H watch our two dogs many times and we always feel so comfortable knowing they are in the best hands possible. Michelle is very loving, patient and caring with our dogs. Our boys are family and we trust Michelle with no worries ever.

I work from home and can be available as needed as long as it's not during a scheduled conference call - gotta keep my day job. I'm pretty flexible but also don't mind a routine schedule if that would benefit you.

To ensure a smooth visit, please provide details on your pets' typical behavior around new people. Are they prone to jumping, barking, or nipping? I also need to know if they have "off-limits" areas, specific food allergies, or anxiety triggers like vacuums or loud noises. This helps me keep them comfortable and safe while I work.
