Can't wait to meet your dog!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Michelle and I’m currently living in LA (near Culver City). I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, whether it’s my own or socializing dogs at the local shelter. I have 1 dog my own – Milo - a very playful Heeler mix! He usually gets along very well with other dogs so he’d love a friend to hang out with! I enjoy getting exercise while I watch dogs so I'll keep your dog busy if they have a lot of energy to burn! I know every dog's preference is different so I will cater to the types of activities your dog is used to getting. I'm great with small and medium sized breeds, both young and old.

Michelle is wonderful! She took great care of my dog Wallace, kept me posted with regular updates, and was super communicative. I would definitely use her services again.

Michelle is amazing! She watched my dog for a week over the holidays. I received multiple photos daily and always knew my pup was doing just fine while I was gone. She always looked so happy. Thank you again for watching Harper. I would absolutely recommend Michelle and would book her again in a heartbeat. Is it possible to give more than 5 stars??

Michelle was great! She was very patient with Echo and he seemed very happy with her when they returned from their walk.

A typical day

I like taking dogs on walking trails if they are up for it! Kenneth Hanh Park is one that I enjoy. If your dog is more of an inside dog, I also have plenty of space in my apartment to play and relax.
