Did you say walk?

Pet care experience

I am a huge dog lover, but aren't we all? I am known in my friend group as the one that will dog sit and if you can’t find me at a gathering I’m usually with your dog. Honestly I beg them to watch their dogs. I dog sit for friends and family whenever needed. Walking is fun, but is more fun when a dog is involved. I can help with leash training and overall other training if needed. A dog to me is family and I will treat them with as much respect as I do people. I like to go on long walks with dogs, check out new parks, and play in a safe environment. Meet and greets are mandatory. I will not be offended if you do not think I am the right fit for your pet. Will always ask if there are routes you prefer, or areas you avoid - you know your area best and your pet! I also like to give reports to keep you updated on whatever we do. If you have any questions please ask! Also I do work 8-5 M-F down town Minneapolis. There is some flexibility in this. I also live in Ramsey. So either area is easily accessible for me. Please feel to ask and I will try to accommodate for you.

Michelle is truly the BEST. We are so happy to have found her, she is very helpful and responsive and LOVES dogs. I don't want the word out as I want her all to us... (ha ha). I was very leary as I had a bad experience before, but Michelle came to my house and sat with us for over an hour to review everything and also just to get to know each other. Dakota LOVED her and we can't wait for her to come back! Thanks Michelle....

Michelle was great with our goldendoodle, Baxter. He was calm and well taken care off. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the trip and understood since we were traveling international that we could get stuck due to COVID-19 ans said that she would continue watching him if we needed her to (luckily everything worked out and didn't need to) or in the case of a flight delay. Michelle also picked up after herself and kept the house as we like it. Next vacation we will definitely use Michelle and Rover.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer not to bring clients pets into my home, because I believe that it’s best for your pet and loved one if they stay in their own environment. Many pets go through a bit of anxiety when things change out of their routine (don’t we all?) I want to help keep their routine in place while you are gone so you don’t have to stress about them at home.

Information Michelle L. would like to know about your pet

I have been around all dogs. Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I have been with dogs that have seizures, medications, etc. Please let me know the issues ahead of time and we will be good to go! If your dog isn’t great around other dogs, or at a dog park, anything like that please keep me informed. I have a check list I go through when we do our meet and greet but if I miss anything please let me know!

A typical day

Depending on the dog and what your family does, I will try to keep the typical routine up. If your dog loves to play fetch or go to the dog park everyday, then that’s what we will do. I love going for walks and playing with their favorite toys but will always take cues from you and your pet.
