Safety, trust & environment

While I am at your place, I treat the place like mine. I will keep an eye on the mail and packages, make sure the pet does not eat my food (no matter how sad they try to look) and will be as close as possible to the pets schedule.

Information Michelle L. would like to know about your pet

I want to know if they have any specific needs or conditions. I would like to know what kind of dog they (aggressive around others, shy around other dogs, not good with kids etc). I need to know what training they have received.

A typical day

From the dog park to embracing the zoomies to teaching them showtunes, the sky is the limit. Do they love being couch potatoes and snuggling? Done. Do they wanna walk all over the city and smell things? Done.

Michelle L.'s Neighborhood

THE Godmother of my friend's pets

Pet care experience

The cool aunt your dog deserves. I will hang out with your dog and make sure they stay active and happy. I am energetic for the dogs who need plenty of exercise but who knows how to cuddle or be lay back with the calmest dogs. All my friends and family dogs are basically my nieces and nephews from how much I spoil them and spend time around them (plenty of cuddle buddies are around me when I come over). Even though I enjoy being the cool aunt or Godmom, I will discipline them if they are doing something they know they are not supposed to do (this is not like when the teacher leaves and the substitute teacher is there for the day). If I'm lucky my terrible puns and jokes might put your dog to sleep after hearing them (not guaranteed to work on all dogs).

Michelle did a great job taking care of our dog Bear and made sure his life went on as normally as possible while we were away on a trip. The house was just as we left it as well which was a huge plus. Would definitely recommend!!
