Pet care experience
With over 20 years working with pets ranging from reptiles to mammals and everything in between I love all things animals! Four wonderful dogs call me Mom and I currently have two 1 year old dogs in Service Dog training for Disabled Combat Veterans at home. Compassionate, passionate, and balanced is my mantra when working with and caring for any and all animals. I work from home training dogs and have an agility course in my backyard, which my Aussie and my boyfriend's Labs LOVE. We spend 4-6 hours, off and on, working with them and sometime in the next 12 to 18 months they will be donated to a Veteran in need. I also ride horses and have hand raised Parrots. So there is no need to worry about your pets with me. I have a 2 year old red Merle Aussie, a 1 year old Aussiedor, and two black Labs. I'm an AKC certified Canine Good Citizen Evaluator (CGC) as well. I have volunteered at shelters in Atlanta, Knoxville, TN, Jacksonville, St. Louis, Washington D.C., and Tampa. My life revolves around animals and I look forward to meeting your pup!
Reviews
Michelle was great with our dogs. She sent regular updates, including pictures, and the dogs got plenty of exercise and social time (human and dogs) while we were out of town. I would book with Michelle again and recommend her to others looking for a sitter for active dogs.
My dogs were so happy. They felt right at home and were well cared for. Michelle was very accommodating to our needs. Excellent care.

Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know your pups age and a general idea of the breed. I am not partial to any specific breed but there are nuances with different breeds. I only ask the age since I wouldn't walk a year old 6lbs. dog the same as I would a 12 year old 85 lbs. dog.
A typical day
Your dog will enjoy a brisk walk, or a bit of toss and fetch. I am active and usually run once a day so if your dog likes to run let me know if I should bring my running shoes! I travel with my own treats and treat pouch but I understand dogs have allergies so let me know if you want me to use your treats.
