Compassionate, educated, trusted
Pet care experience
Pet professional for 12 years. Dog groomer for 8 years. Animal lover for life. I was born with a passion for animals. My mom likes to tell the story of when I was 3, and the movie Homeward Bound came out in theaters. My grandma insisted I see it with them and my older sister. My mom, skeptical that I could sit through it, expected to leave half way through or that I would fall asleep. I didn't make a peep the whole movie. When it was over, mom asked my grandma at what point did I fall asleep. Grandma said, "she didn't! She watched the whole thing!" If that isn't evidence of a growing passion for animals, I don't know what is! When I was 11, my friend and I decided to start our own dog walking and bathing "business." Not many neighbors would trust 11 year olds walking their dogs, so we mostly bathed them in their owners hose with supervision. We spent our small amount of earnings on more supplies, not making much profit, but we didn't mind. I have a special interest interest in dogs, especially the high energy, anxious and nervous ones, who I find are often misunderstood. I recently moved to Arizona from Michigan. As soon as I moved here I noticed the abundance of dogs in Arizona City. My schedule is now open to helping the dogs in Arizona City and the surrounding areas. I also work part time painting pet portraits, and will work around my pet care schedule to complete them. My goal is to help you meet your pets needs to improve their life as well as yours. You can trust that I will do my best to keep them safe and happy. Everyone is different, so my time with them will be cattered to their individual needs.

Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet
Before beginning care for your pet, I will need to know about their current health status, past medical conditions, age, breed, behavior habits, energy level, and friendliness.
A typical day
Walks will be around your neighborhood during the cooler hours in the summer. Park trips during the afternoon can be done in the winter months. I also offer playtime in your yard or home, as well as basic training with positive reinforcement to build the foundation for communication and cooperation.
