Safety, trust & environment

For walks, I like to keep your dog comfortable and in a familiar setting since they are being accompanied by someone new. I will stick to your usual route/in the same area as your home. I will typically avoid larger dogs or busy streets if they seem anxious or distracted, but please let me know if there are any other factors that your dog should avoid. When we come back home I can place them back in their crate if that is preferred.

Information Michelle M. would like to know about your pet

For walking, what is the usual route around your home and is there anything we should avoid? If they are puppies, please let me know how you train them during walks so I can do the same for consistency. If boarding, how are they with smaller animals? Are they spayed/neutered? Do they have any special needs or diets I should be aware of? Please provide food/toys if staying the night :)

A typical day

I am working from home with flexible hours, so if boarding/day care we will have plenty of time for play or potty breaks and your dog will never feel alone :) In the evening there are plenty of walking trails and parks to explore and burn some energy.

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Michelle! I am a life-long animal lover and currently have two dogs and three bunnies of my own. My own dog was a very timid rescue, and our journey together led me to learning about dog behavior and training in depth. We love trying out new dog sports and tricks to build her confidence! I currently foster dogs as well and volunteer with a rescue as a post-adoption coordinator, giving assistance to families that also have nervous or reactive rescues. I'm currently available for dog walking or drop in visits for your dog, cat, or rabbits. I have had bunnies for several years and am knowledgeable on their nutrition and other needs. So if you need an experienced bunny sitter in the Barrie area during your time away I'm your girl! I work in the photography business and absolutely love pet photography. I will gladly send photo updates of your pet during our time together :) see photos in profile for examples of the quick snapshots taken during walks or home visits

Michelle has walked my dog Marley a few times and I will definitely be using her again in the near future! She was great with Marley, very pleasant to deal with, reliable and responds to messages very quickly. Thanks Michelle!
