Reliable, skilled, and plenty TLC

Pet care experience

If you have a young dog that can't wait for you to come home from work, need to travel, or have a full plate but don't want to neglect the entertainment and exercise of your best friend - I can help a few dog parents part time with their animal care. I have experience with agility, obedience, sniffing games, Karen Pryor clicker training, puppy and geriatric dog care. I am a professional dog trainer/handler in K9 detection. I can also do shorter 15 minute dog walks in my neighborhood - if your budget is limited. Very knowledgeable about animal behavior. I also have extensive experience with horses, livestock, chickens and ducks if you need farm animal care. My availability is limited since pet care is part-time so contact me early! Also, I want to meet your animals with you there prior to animal care. Boarding/Doggie day care also available some days in the future. .

Michelle did a great job dropping in and feeding and walking our dog while we went on a short vacation! Our dog typically has some anxiety when we leave, but she was calm and in a great mood when we got back this time. Michelle is very professional and highly recommended.

Our dog instantly took to Michelle at our meet and greet, she wanted to follow her home! What a wonderful person, will definitely request her services again. Sent pictures at every visit, giving us a piece of mind while we were away.
