People call me an animal whisperer

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs in my life since the day I was born! I have 15 years of experience working with dogs. I have fed, walked, bathed, and administered medicine to the dogs. I love and am very comfortable with all breeds, ages and sizes. I’ve done training with puppies and I worked at a dog daycare for 1.5 years. I treat every dog I come in contact with like my best friend / family member. I have a bachelor degree in psychology with a minor in sociology, this makes understanding dogs and their behaviors like second nature to me!

Michelle does a great job taking care of our 3 cats and dog. They are all happy and well cared for by her. She is very professional and everything is taken care of!

This was the first time my 1 1/2 year old pup Scarlett, who also has kidney disease, would be alone during the day for a few hours. We booked Michelle to come take care of Scar - feeding her a special diet that's a bit complicated to prepare, and take her for a morning walk/play with her - as well as feed our 3 cats. During our meet and greet, Michelle took photos to remember some of the instructions and asked good questions. I knew she was going to do a great job. Michelle sent pics daily and all of the pets looked happy and well cared for. She also gave me an update each day on Rover which i appreciated. She did a fantastic job and we would book her again to care for our crew.

Michelle took care special care of my senior dog who had a seizure disability- She was very gentle and patient with him. He’s not with us anymore but I would use Michelle again if I adopted another puppy.

Michelle has watched my 2 dogs several times. She has done both short pop ins to feed and let them out and a longer span of a few days. My dogs are definitely loved like family members, so I would not trust just anyone. I trust Michelle with my dogs knowing that they will be loved and well cared for. She is very responsible. I highly recommend Michelle to take care of your dogs!

Information Michelle M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or particular behaviors that I can account for before I arrive at your house for a visit!

A typical day

I will make sure to not only stimulate your dog physically but also mentally! It is very important for dogs to be mentally engaged so we will play games that will focus their brains! I will also of course give them LOTS of love and attention!
