Best friends get fit together

Pet care experience

I’ve had several animals over the past 20 years which include two highly energetic dogs. I love spending time with furry friends. Dog walking brings me peace and i’d love to share that peace with your baby. Some things I love to do is taking walks and being out in the fresh air. I am a true believer that fresh air reduces anxiety and brings so much joy to our fur friends. I also have an extra place in my heart for senior dogs. It makes me feel so happy to bring them joy through their last years. I like to throw the ball for them, pet ans play with them, or just simply spend easy or slow walking quality time however they like best. A little about me . I am a retired deputy sheriff. In my free time, I am pretty active. I have a small artisan online business where I sell some art. I also like to make time to do positive things for others, like checking in on my neighbors and friends and spend quality time with them. I exercise regularly at the gym and in martial arts. I love the beach and playing with our kids in the waves. I enjoy taking nature walks with my family and our dog Zipper. Allow me to bring joy to your baby in any way they like best.

Michelle watched my cat myla for a few days a week, she is so loving! Myla usually isn’t fond of other people, but she instantly clicked with michelle. Definitely recommend Michelle to others, it’s hard to find a sweet animal person these days. Thank you again! You were awesome

Michelle is an exceptional human who puts all people/animals before her own needs. I have a large high energy Boxer that greets everyone big paw hugs. Michelle handles her like the true animal whisperer she is. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone who is honest, energetic, and will love your fur baby! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Safety, trust & environment

Communicating with pet owners is the best way to understand what their pet’s needs are. I like to establish and open line of communication, take notes, ask about medical concerns and follow all expectations. When I meet your pet, I like to allow them to get to know me naturally. Allow them become comfortable with me. Having a trusting relationship with a pet is key to a long term friendship.

Information Michelle J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. Their health and safety are my primary concern.

A typical day

Some activities I like to do with dogs are to take them to a dog park so they can meet and play with other pup friends. If that’s not an option, we will walk around the neighborhood and allow them to smell the fresh flowers. If healthy enough, I will throw a ball at the park to run off some energy and add a little excitement in their day. Activities just depend on what the owners would like. I am flexible.
