Information Michelle K. would like to know about your pet

-Your pets feeding schedule and any particular way you prefer their food prepared -any potty break times and preferred walking routes for dogs -favorite toys and treats and how often they can be given -anywhere your pets are not allowed in your apartment -if your cats or dogs tend to chew on things or eat things and what (so I can keep them out of the way) -if your pets don’t get along with strangers, other pets, children etc

A typical day

Pets and daily grooming is a must! Lots of outdoor time and walks. The semi regular deserved and undeserved treats. As well as carefully prepared meals :) And some cuddles while reading our watching tv. And toy time to get out the zoomies

Pet care experience

I have had previous experience walking dogs and dog sitting puppies! Dogs are always so sweet so I’d love to help care for other’s pets.

Michelle went above and beyond with our precious pup! She was very communicative and took many photos of our doggie! We loved her!

Michelle was amazing! She did everything I asked and kept Rufus company while I was gone. She sent so many photos and videos too.

Amazing! Michelle was so flexible when my travel arrangements changed due to the snowstorm. She was very communicative the entire time and sent so many great pics. 100% recommend!!
