Safety, trust & environment

Happy to work with your needs, whether your dog needs a mid-day walk around the block, or a late-night potty break in the backyard. Play-time can also be arranged if they like to tug or fetch.

Information Michelle P. would like to know about your pet

Feel free to reach out and let me know if your dog/cat has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for— like if your furry kid needs to take any medications, or if your dog pulls or is reactive to other animals on walks and needs redirection, etc.

A typical day

Taking them on a nice walk around the neighborhood to get all the smells in and grass rolling checked off from their to-do list— maybe different routes to get some new smells too— to playing fetch or tug with the playful ones, lots of belly rubs in order and neck scratches, cuddling for the seniors that love tlc, and make sure they get their favorite snack before leaving.

Your Dog Will Be One of the Family

Pet care experience

My love for dogs started when we rescued our first pup at the age of 5, have had dogs ever since and don’t know a more complete life than one with them around. Big and small, I’ve had the pleasure of also taking care of friend’s, neighbor’s, and colleague’s dogs and cats, during the weekday and while on long vacations. Also have taken care of the occasional bunny, hamster, and bearded dragon. Animal lover is an understatement in my book. Your dog and cat will be one of the family!

She has been hiking Lucy for almost a year. She is amazing to work with caring on time and responsible. I highly recommend Michelle.
