Safety, trust & environment

I offer care for your pets just as if they were my own. I will adopt and follow any routine you have and can help with food/medicine administration, enrichment activities, and plenty of exercise and quality time. Examples I adopt with my own: Dog: - Enrichment toys, flirt pole exercises, scent work, various walks and longline play time outdoors. We have been working on reactivity and have made wonderful progress; this has made me cognizant of how to carefully walk around strangers, other dogs, or triggers as applicable. Cat: - I have a senior cat who takes supplements, mixed food daily, and has regular lazy days mixed with play time, brushing, and naps. I take pride in keeping her litter box clean. :)

Information Michelle H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any of the following: -Reactivity (and potential triggers to be on the lookout for) -Food guarding or aggression -Any medical needs or challenges (I've been at all stages with my prior senior girl and am happy to accommodate so you can enjoy your time away!)

A typical day

I routinely like to take dogs on longer walks (breed specific) and integrate enrichment activities such as longlines, flirt poles, or other puzzle toys. I would be happy to incorporate these into your dog's routine while watching them if desired!

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Michelle. I have always loved caring for animals and have had experience with everything from seahorses to orphaned squirrels. I just finished my PhD but my love for animals has me hooked on Rover! Your pet will be treated like family with extra attention, play time, walks, and treats as allowed. I will always try to be as accommodating as possible to your pet's needs (behavioral, medication, etc.) I am available for walks and drop-in visits. I have experience with various dog breeds, cats, and exotics and would love to provide the family-level care for your fur babies while you are away. I also have experience in reactive dogs (whether to people, other dogs, small animals), canine epilepsy, senior animal care, and can handle special cases as needed. In my spare time I work on AKC dog sports and ribbon titles with me girls, and I’m happy to spend some time working on any training you might be doing with your pet. Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have, or if you prefer to do a meet and greet prior to booking. Thanks!
