Experienced and Reliable Pet Lover!

Hi, I’m Shelly – a lifelong animal lover with over 2 years of experience as a veterinary assistant and a lifetime of caring for both dogs and cats. I’m 35, work full-time from home, and have a super flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether your pup needs midday walks, your cat needs playtime and snuggles, or you're heading out of town and want someone reliable and loving to care for your pets, I’m here to help. I understand animal behavior, know the signs to watch for when something’s off, and most importantly—I treat every pet like my own. Let’s set up a meet & greet—I’d love to learn more about your pet’s routine and how I can help!

Dog Walking • feb. 20, 2026

Michelle is on time and shows excitement to take Sage out on her walks. Sage in turn loves the walks with her. It's amazing the Michelle is able to do a mile with Sage, which wears her out.

Michelle's amazing. I've known her for years, and she's always had such a big love for animals. I've seen how well she takes care of her own pets, always making sure they're happy and spoiled. She has a warm and caring personality that animals and people naturally vibe with. I also work with pets, so I know how important it is to find someone you can actually trust, who's reliable, and puts safety first. She is all that and more. With her, your pets will be safe, loved, and in the best hands. I can't recommend her enough!
