Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet

I am very flexible and able to adapt to various situation, so the only thing I really need to know is any unorthodox or unusual things that you feel your dog needs that require more specific instruction. Other than that, I’m open to communicating on an as need basis after providing that basis of general overview/information :-)

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of and been surrounded by dogs ever since the age of 5 (when I got my first dog, Murphy.) As an avid lover of dogs my entire life, I decided to expand my family (once I was ready, ofcourse) and bring a sweet baby boy my life, Henry! He’s a spoiled 3-year-old red short-haired dachshund that completes me ❤️ As an adult dog mom who has been surrounded by dogs (of all breeds and ages) my entire life, I have gained extensive experience potty training puppies, administering insulin shots for diabetic dogs, walking various breeds/size/age of dogs, and housing various breeds/size/age of dogs as well. In addition, being the mom of a hound who loves to get into new smells, I am well-versed in the art of administering oral medication, as well as ear and eye ointment. For those who make their own pet food, my family as well as my boyfriend’s family does the same, so I am able to both cook and feed your dogs this type of food if needed. Growing up in a family with three dogs helped me gain a lot of experience and knowledge about different breeds’ needs. While I am able to care for any and all breeds, I am most familiar with Dachshunds, Toy Poodles, Golden Retrievers, Schnauzers, Husky’s, and Basset Hounds. I think of my dog as my child, so rest assured that when with me, your little fur baby will be handled with the same energy and care ❤️

Michelle is really great. She sends me pictures and an update of Emma during her time with her. She understands my concerns regarding Emma when the weather starts to...do almost anything outside of just sunshine, where she tends to have some anxiety. She is also very flexible in her availability. I hope she continues to watch Emma whenever possible.

Michelle and Bella are getting along great. Michelle communicates during Bella’s stay pays attention to Bella’s habits. That’s very helpful with Bella not being very healthy and knowing that I watch her pretty closely.

Michelle is an amazing person and would be perfect for this job! I have known Michelle for a year and a half now and she is the most outgoing, loving, caring person to walk this earth. Michelle and I got our first dog last Christmas and Michelle is the perfect dog mom because she very energetic and love spending her time with animals!
