I work from home and set my own schedule, which allows for frequent walks and check-ins throughout the day. My dog is used to going out every 4 hours, so regular outdoor breaks are part of our routine.

Information Michelle P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any allergies or foods to avoid, as well as anything that may make your dog nervous on walks. I’d also love to know what your dog enjoys most—favorite treats, belly rubs, toys, or routines. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual schedule and care preferences to help them feel comfortable and loved.

A typical day

With your approval, we’ll enjoy walks, hikes, and visits to the on-site fenced dog park. I also love keeping pups active with playtime—and I’m happy to run with dogs who enjoy higher-energy exercise.

Pet care experience

I work from home and set my own schedule, which allows for plenty of walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I have a friendly 8-year-old Min Pin/Chihuahua mix and a kitten who does well with dogs. I treat every pet like my own and am experienced with dogs who need a calm, supportive environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and house rules closely and would love to welcome your pup into our home.
