Safety, trust & environment

As your pet may not be familiar with me entering your home for a walk or for feeding, please let me know what the best approach is. I would always like to ensure the safety of both your pet and myself, so please do share as much information as possible.

Information Michelle H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or just general tips that you would like me to take into account while providing care for your pet. For example, if they don't like other dogs, tend to pounce on strangers, or don't like receiving pets. This way, I can try my best to provide the best possible care for your pet!

A typical day

Your pets will do all of their favorite things with me! For dogs: going on walks and exploring different scents, getting rewarded with yummy/healthy treats, getting pets and compliments, and maybe even visiting the LIC dog park for some playtime (if you're comfortable, of course). For cats: lots of playtime, yummy/healthy treats, and many pets (if they desire).

Pet care experience

My family got a shiba in 2023, so I’ve developed plenty of experience in training and caring for puppies/dogs. This includes learning best dog-walking practices and also reading dog body language. When dog-walking, I’m fully attentive and highly mindful of the surroundings (e.g., cars, trash, people, other dogs, etc.). I like to make adjustments based on the dog’s personality/habits, so please feel free to share with me any preferences or tips when it comes to caring for your canine. I’ll always try my absolute best to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for you and your pet!

Michelle is great. She is responsive, caring, and professional, and my cat loves her. She kept me updated throughout the stay and gave me total peace of mind. I would absolutely book her again.

I’ve booked Michelle in the past and she stays true and consistent with taking care of my fur babies. She is very thorough in the notes for re-cap. She took care of my new kitten and gave him great care and also took care of Echo and the needs were met for the kitties. Thank you again Michelle!
