Pet care experience

Whether it's raining cats or dogs

I'm here! As a lifelong pet owner, I know what it takes to ensure that my cats, dogs and critters are well taken care of (and although it's not always easy, it's always rewarding) I have successfully raised kittens and puppies and I am familiar with basic puppy training techniques and tricks and would love to work with your puppy if you're currently training them, feel free let me know what you're working on so I can help with the process. I also have personal experience handling small animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, chinchillas and mice and would love to meet yours if you have any :) ★☆★ NEW CLIENTS, PLEASE NOTE★☆★ For my and your pets' sake, I do not accept bookings without an initial meet and greet prior to the scheduled assignment. I understand things do happen last minute however for safety reasons it is best to do a meet and greet before I take on any new clients, I would prefer not to intrude on an animal's space without them at least being familiar with my presence and I am not comfortable with needlessly causing them any stress. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. I have over over 5 years of professional dog handling experience from working at a local doggy daycare and as a dogwalker with a small company. There, I've familiarized myself with the visual cues of canine body language to ensure that safety is my top priority for the pack. I know some dogs have bad days like the rest of us, that's why I like to think they would be in good hands. I also have about 3 years of professional dog walking experience with another company (The Dogwalking Network) in the Park Slope area where I walked about 10-15 dogs a day of various sizes (and never more than 4 dogs for groups, based on temperaments of each individual dog)

Safety, trust & environment

Lots of play, treats and unconditional love! If there is anything that I need to know, please do not hesitate to inform me. I have personal experience with administrating oral medications and will be extra mindful of any allergies or conditions your fur baby has. Please inform me ahead of time if there is any additional information that I need to know in regard to any tips or tricks for getting access to your pups and kitties such as tricky locks, doors, entry codes, etc so I may plan ahead for your convenience.

Michelle is great with my kitty Minnie. She gave me constant updates, making me feel comfortable leaving my baby at home.

Michelle was wonderful! This was her first time sitting with my cats and she did it for 10 days. She followed any instructions provided to her and gave both my boy cats lots of playtime each visit. They tend to make messes and she was kind enough to clean up after them. There was a winter storm that was going to make it impossible for her to visit the boys one day, but she gave me plenty advance notice and ensured they were stocked up on everything to get them through the additional day without her. I would definitely book Michelle again in the future.

Michelle was a terrific caretaker for my single cat who was missing her brother over the holiday break. She is a great communicator and was flexible when I needed to make changes. I look forward to working with her again!

I would truly appreciate it if I were informed ahead of time of any food sensitivities, behavioral triggers, etc, etc that your pup may have. Safety is my top priority, and to ensure the best service I can possibly provide, the more I know, the better!
