Pet care experience
I love the bonds between people and animals. They are fascinating, which is why I love taking care of your beloved companions. This is my dream job and I couldn't be happier. I've jogged with shelter dogs, cared for a pride of zoo lions, and have volunteered at a wildlife rehab center. I have extensive knowledge in animal behavior and training and would love to help you with behaviors issues, if needed. My general philosophy is one of "freedom, fun, and friendship." With each walk or visit, I strive to allow each dog to just be themselves, have as much fun as possible, and feel loved and cared for. Afterall, they deserve it! Our canine friends give us so much. For me there's nothing more intellectually and emotionally stimulating than hanging out with animals. I look forward to meeting you and your animal companion!
Reviews
Michelle is amazing. My pup and I are very pleased!
Michelle was amazing. Very accomodating and really cared for our buddy. When we picked him up, he was so tuckered out from all the fetch that he slept through our last leg of our road trip.
Five out of five "paws" for Michelle! We had to go out of town for a week, and luckily Michelle was available for puppy-sitting our Boston terrier, who loves playing with Michelle's golden retriever and, therefore, spent less time missing us. Michelle followed our care and training reinforcement instructions to a tee (he's still a puppy, so he needed regular "sit", "lie down", "wait", etc. practice). On top of this, she was gracious enough to have him stay an extra night because a snow storm delayed our plane, causing us to miss our connection (the next plane wasn't until the next morning). We were exceeding grateful for not having to worry about the puppy during such a hectic trip back! We highly recommend!

I’m currently taking new clients. Thank you for considering Elite Dog Adventures! I’m not satisfied until your beloved dig is happy and content in my care.
Information Michelle M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know energy levels, if they are dog-aggressive, cat-aggressive, etc. please no aggression issues. I have some dog training experience, but aggressiveness needs greater care than I can provide. Thank you for understanding.
A typical day
Walks can be anything instructed. Otherwise, I would simply begin a walk and see what the dog wants in terms of pace and comfort. Other activities are "dog directed." I would try different things like some higher-energy play like fetch, if that is not of interest then more low-energy snuggles might do the trick.
