Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet

While I don't have any breed preferences, I would prefer to know a few likes and dislikes of your dog, some simple commands that you use, their favorite treat, your vet's phone number, and what you want most out of this experience.

A typical day

Walks can be wherever your dog normally prefers, but in the park or around the neighborhood are always a fun option. If your dog is more into adventuring some local trails, I'm down for that too. Fetch and running around are some good classics. I can also work on any training you’ve been trying to incorporate if you show me your preferences first.

Critters + Nature = Bliss

Pet care experience

I've never met a critter I didn't like, and I strive to provide the best care possible to keep everyone happy and healthy (walking, feeding, playing with, bathing, giving meds, brushing, etc). I have lived with at least one dog my whole life along with cats, bunnies, horses, fish, frogs, and most recent, a hedgehog named Quillington. Each one of them has provided me with a knowledge of how to deal with most any situation that might arise. I understand the desire to want the best for your pet and I want to provide that for you. There's nothing worse than worrying about the welfare and contentment of your critter because let's face it, they're family. Hiring me will assure that your beloved will be in the best hands possible... Pictures of them included 😉

Michelle went well above and beyond our expectations. We originally booked her to watch our two greyhounds in our home, but sadly one of them passed away a few weeks before our trip. Michelle took great care of our single hound, giving her extra loves and attention. She sent us detailed updates and pictures every day, and the cherry on top was how clean she left our home. I can tell she genuinely cares about taking care of pets and homes like they are her own.

Michelle is very professional and obviously loves caring for pets. She is sure to have fun with them and meet their energy/stimulation needs. Give her your business, she’s great!

Michelle was an absolute DREAM to have watch Chester. The updates she would give were so descriptive and playful. She really went the extra mile to make sure our dog had the best experience possible and that we were not stressed at all about leaving him in her hands. She was incredibly kind and considerate to all our needs and was very communicative. We would absolutely book her again and look forward to doing so!
