Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs are simply the best
Animal lover has always been my identifier. As a young kid growing up I actually loved my chores because they were taking care of the pets! Feeding, cleaning the litter box or using the 'pooper scooper' in the backyard. My first job as a teenager was working at a dog kennel; handling all sizes and breed of dogs. In more recent years I have had the privilege of looking after friends fur babies for the day or while away on holiday, and have also shared living with flatmates who's dog I cared for as if it was my own. One summer I was staying with an old friend, who's family dog I was warned wasn't particularly friendly to strangers. But with play, and of course treats, the dog warmed to me quickly, and I soon become her go to frisbee thrower! I am very confident and comfortable around all kinds of dogs, I understand they each have their own personality and needs, and I feel I have a natural approach to interacting with new and familiar dogs. I believe and practice positive reinforcement and not afraid to get on the ground and play.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am aware of the certain foods that are not safe for pets and whatever guidelines you may have in place at your home or during walks I would follow.
Ratings and reviews
Michelle was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Hamilton! From the moment we met her, I could tell he was in such caring and loving hands. She was incredibly sweet with him, attentive to his needs, and made sure he got plenty of outdoor time and attention. I especially loved how often she sent us pictures and updates, it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. She was always outside with him, giving him lots of love, fresh air, and playtime, and she genuinely enjoyed taking care of him. Hamilton was so well cared for, and I came home feeling like he had been on his own little vacation! Michelle is kind, thoughtful, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I would absolutely trust her with Hamilton again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.
Michelle is fantastic with our two Duck Tolling Retrievers! She comes with such a welcoming & calm energy that the dogs instantly warmed to her. She understands how to manage VERY different personalities (as our two dogs definitely keep you on your toes) from slow walking/smelling every blade of grass, to on leash mountain hiking/all the energy in the world. She also watched our dogs while we were away on vacation for 4 nights and managed their needs with ease the entire time. We love having Michelle walk our dogs and would definitely welcome her into our family routine anytime!
Michelle walked my dog, and looked after him, and honestly, I can't recommend her enough! She is so reliable and friendly! Also my dog loves her!
Michelle always did SUCH an amazing job taking care of my french bulldog Winston. She has taken care of him multiple times from when he was a puppy through to him being five years old now. She always sent updates and photos and Winston is absolutely obsessed with her. I can not recommend Michelle enough!
