About Michelle Q.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’m very familiar with parks and routes in all parts of Cambridge (I've been around for the past 6 years). I'll be respectful of your own routines and space if you'd like a drop-on
Information Michelle Q. would like to know about your pet
Just let me know if your dog has extra needs/boundaries, I can easily accommodate and meet them at their level. Also good to know, for walks, if they have any specific harnesses/collars
A typical day
Would love to go on long walks around the neighborhood with your dog, let them have fun in the park, or just chill with them around their favorite block! Also down to play with them with their favorite toy or keep the energy low if they're tired

Pet care experience
**Note: I'm graduating this year and I can't accept repeat appointments after the end of June** I’ve had my own senior dog (16), Vinny, for his entire life and more than half of mine! What sets me apart is the whole spectrum of care I can provide, having learned from my time with Vinny and from caring for family friends’ dogs. This includes: • Walking and managing reactive/leash-aggressive dogs safely (experience with prong collars and gentle leaders) • Administering oral, topical, and injectable medications on a routine schedule • Providing patient, low-impact care for senior dogs • Handling dogs up to 50 lbs across varying energy levels and temperaments I know how to stay calm when a dog is anxious, adapt on the fly, and understand a dog’s body language. I’ll also be sure to communicate as much as you, the owner, would like while caring for your pet! If you're interested in doggy day care, let's have our dogs meet first to ensure it's a good fit
Reviews
Winston loves his walks with Michelle. She’s responsible, communicative and reliable.
Michelle responded quickly and took amazing care of Nika. She was very familiar with the neighborhood and confident in her care of dogs. I would absolutely ask Michelle to take care of Nika again.
Michelle was great and communicative, thank you for the walk!
Michelle was super communicative and took my reluctant walker on a nice long walk! Would recommend her!
