Your dog will be part of my family

Pet care experience

"Bark less Wag more" Best walking services in the DC area We offer your pet a really customized service. You will enjoy peace of mind knowing your four legged friend gets plenty of exercise We can go to the dog park and socialize, or for a long stroll in the woods Either way your friend is in good hands and has a wagging tail IMPORTANT: Please note that a night includes, and is limited to, 24 hours of care, unless special arrangement is made For more information you may visit www.walkthedoggy.us About this sitter: In France, where I was born, dogs are not crated and are not banned from public spaces. Your dog will not be anxious or lonely while you are away. He will be part of my family twenty-four hours a day. He will have free reign of our spacious home (no crates or lock-in rooms) and fenced-in yard, a long walk in the woods every day plus three other fun walks in our peaceful, tree-lined neighborhood, and lots of play and affection. If he has any special needs, I will be sure they are met. IMPORTANT: Please note that a night includes, and is limited to, 24 hours of care, unless special arrangement is made Why I love dog sitting My last dog was a Cairn Terrier - a very spirited breed. He was 16 years old. His name was Nitilio. He passed away last year. I now have another Cairn Terrier, a puppy. His name is Nominoë Meet my pets I had dogs all my life. I walk my dog a lot and I like hiking with him. Five years ago I decided that walking another dog while walking mine will be a good idea, then I start walking one, then 2 dogs, plus I started taking care of them when the owners go out of town. They are all having such a good time with us that they all are very happy to come back to my house. People visiting when I am taking care of 5 dogs are always surprised about how quiet they are and how the house is peaceful. I will give you the secret: give your dog a lot of exercise and a lot of love. It is what they are getting with me. About my yard Yes I have a fenced backyard where your dog will play as much as he/she wants, whether permitting My experience administering medication I do administer medication if requested, at no additional charge

My dog Kelly seemed very happy with her stay with Michelle. Kelly was well cared for and the home environment and easy outdoor access created very positive experience. I will be using Michelle again.

Michelle was easy to communicate with, provided Hazel with a lovely place to stay, and walks, and she sent us pictures!

Oreo (our poodle) loved her stay. Michelle took her on frequent walks and made Oreo feel happy and comfortable right away. She also posted frequent, daily videos of the dogs going on long walks, playing and interacting. The whole experience was easy and a pleasure. Highly recommend!

Michelle was great! Our 2 Vizslas have stayed with various sitters over the years, but none have exercised them as much or as often as Michelle. For this breed, that is beyond important. Her Facebook videos of her daily dog walks (she has a very active dog walking/daycare business) are fabulous. We got to see exactly what our boys were doing on their walks. The fact that they got to play with other dogs on the walks was definitely a bonus. Although Michelle did not initiate contact with us while we were away, she was very responsive whenever we reached out (which was pretty often). In short, we definitely recommend Michelle!
