Michelle's love for dogs is obvious to anyone who has seen her interact with her energetic, well-behaved dogs or spoken to her about dogs in general. She's knowledgable about them and absolutely delights in their company. She is dependable, professional, kind and responsive.

Michelle loves dogs. She has been punctual, diligent and professional. She sends lots of pictures which I like. She goes the extra mile and my dogs really like her. Highly recommended.

Information Michelle L. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences. It is helpful to get a sense of dog's sense of play, eating habits, energy level and ease around other animals and people.

A typical day

I will walk preferred paths, bring sociable dogs to dog parks and walk leashed on the beach as available/permitted by owners.
