Information Michelle O. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any special needs I am very comfortable with that, and giving medications, etc. My last dog was deaf, so I have experience with that and was also sure to move to the opposite side of the road when other dogs were out walking as she did not do well with some other dogs. I was always thinking about her and other dogs safety.

A typical day

Just let me know how your dog likes to play. My most recent dog didn't really care for toys, but did love playing fetch with her bone. If your dogs enjoy trips to the dog park, or just walks around the neighborhood, that works great for me too.

Caring and responsible animal lover

Pet care experience

I recently adopted a new best friend, her name is Betty and she is a 4 year old boxer mix. Betty has now been home for over 6 months and has settled in very nicely and is very friendly with other dogs, and hasn't met a person she doesn't like. I have almost always had animals in my life and home. Almost three years ago I lost my deaf boxer who was my best friend for over 11 years. Along with her I had another dog and 2 cats so I am used to a full house of animals. I also worked at a humane society for almost 3 years, leading the cleaning, feeding, dog training, as well as overseeing the matching and adoption process and am comfortable with giving medications. I am also a volunteer at Wags and Walks generally working with the adoption team on weekends.

Michelle was great!!! Took great care of our dog and sent updates. We were able to be worry free on vacation, knowing our dog was in good hands!

Michelle was great! I'd recommend to anyone needing a place for their dog to stay. She responded promptly and sent us pictures during his stay. Michelle is so friendly and you could tell that Anakin was well cared for.

Michelle is always great! She was very accommodating with scheduling pickup for Truffles with my friend while I was away. Truffles is always so relaxed and comfortable with her!

Michelle was fantastic! She sent photos throughout the weekend and was very flexible with timing. Truffles was immediately comfortable with her. Will definitely be using her again!
