Outside of being a huge dog lover, I’m a group fitness instructor who helps people feel strong, active, and confident every day—and I bring that same energy and care to the dogs I work with! honestly… I might love animals more than people 🐾. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and rescues—both of my own pups were senior rescues, so I understand the extra patience, love, and attention they need. Services I Offer I’m happy to tailor my care to your dog’s needs, including: Group walks or solo walks High-energy “agility style” walks Gentle, slower walks for senior pups Drop-in visits Feeding, medication, and supplement support What You Can Expect Whether I’m stopping by or taking your dog out on an adventure, my goal is always the same: a happy, healthy, and satisfied pup! During visits, I’ll: Check food and fresh water Let them out for bathroom breaks Monitor mood and behaviour Spend time playing, bonding, and keeping them comfortable On walks, we’ll explore, sniff everything worth sniffing, and yes—I’ll probably take a few adorable photos along the way 📸 My Space Large backyard (not fenced, so dogs are always safely leashed and supervised) Located right next to a spacious park with lots of grass and smells to explore Bright, sunny home—perfect for dogs who love a good sunbeam nap ☀️ Active environment for dogs who like to stay busy and moving Schedule I have a flexible schedule and can work around your dog’s routine. I update my calendar weekly, so feel free to check availability! --- My Promise I have the energy for the high-energy pups, the patience for seniors, and the heart for every dog in between.

Ratings and reviews
We love Michelle! She takes such great care of Paige and is very conscientious about making sure Paige’s needs are met!
Michelle R. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Michelle took very good care of my girl. Tilly has a senior pup and so needs to be treated gently and patiently. Michelle seems to be a perfect companion for her. My home was neat and clean when I arrived back.
Michelle takes good care of our dog and she’s always so happy to see Michelle!
Michelle is so kind to my dog and is very thoughtful about making sure my anxious dog is comfortable on walks. She’s excellent and I highly recommend her to anyone!
Michelle did a great job of caring for our dog. She sent lots of updates and photos, and she put our minds at ease while we were away. We highly recommend her.

Schedule
I work from home. So I have a flexible schedule. I do travel for work at times, I do my best to keep my calendar up to date. Requests that come in for boarding or house sitting with less than 3 days notice, there is a 50/50 chance I’ll be able to accommodate them. Dogs can go outside with me every 2-4 hours.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The dogs are really my clients. So I let them tell me what they need. I also try and take the dogs place where they will enjoy themselves. If you have a more reactive dog, I will find spaces the can be without too much stimulation. I’ve worked with many animals that have some level of reactivity, and I do my best to make them feel comfortable and safe. My home is dog friendly- there is not much to destroy, and I do my best to make sure socks and other small items that like to be chewed on are hidden away.
