Information Michelle R. would like to know about your pet

My dog is very protective. He’s happy when his family is with him. He is the best dog, no special needs. He lives for car rides, treats and playing with his favorite toy squeaky snake.

A typical day

I let my dog outside first thing in the morning. Then we play a bit with his choice of toys. He gets a treat then usually likes to take a nap. I feed him every evening. After his food settles we do some playing chasing the ball in the back yard. Then is time to settle down for the night but not before another back yard walk, treat and a case of the Zoomies before bed.

I love dogs & cats - love to walk

Pet care experience

I have taken care of my own pets, neighbors pets and my grand cat and dogs. My grand dogs are very energetic Huskies! I love animals. I love walking dogs or taking them to the doggie park. I enjoy throwing balls, sticks and whatever else they bring to me and playing tug a war with dogs and of course giving and getting doggie love. I enjoy cat cuddles, playing chase the laser with cats or just sitting with a cat in my lap and listening to it purr.

Michelle loves dogs it’s obvious. Great space for a dog, lots of trees, a penned in area, & a welcoming home. Loving, caring people- what dog wouldn’t be happy!
