Pet care experience
Fear Free & AKC SAFE crtfd, 14 yrs
Hi! I am 32 years old and I have been a groomer for 14 years. I owned my own grooming salon and sold the business to return back to college. I am Fear Free and AKC SAFE groomer certified which means I know how to handle animals safely and trained in animal behavior. I would love the opportunity to take care of your babies promising you they will be safe and loved! ❤️I also still groom small dogs under 40 lbs. If you are interested in a groom message me (:
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Teddy & Mini had a blast! They had so much fun that they were sleeping on the drive home. Thank you Michelle for taking care of my babies like they were your own! Definitely recommend this sitter & will be booking again if we are ever in the area again!
What a fantastic experience with Michelle! Her communication was excellent from the initial booking request through the 3 drop in visits we used her for in one day. We asked that she spread out the 3 visits at certain times during the day and she was very punctual, arriving at exactly the times we requested. Our Breezy girl was very happy when we arrived home and we know that Michelle must have given her kind and loving care. I would not hesitate to use Michelle again and highly recommend her!
All I can say is that nobody loves pups as much as Michelle. She absolutely adores them. She will take real good care of your fur baby and there is nobody else I would trust more than myself. She is wonderful.
Michelle has been an absolute blessing for me and my dog. She is not only a caring and dependable dog walker but an incredibly skilled groomer. My dog lights up everytime Michelle arrives and I always know she is in the best hands, whether it is for a daily walk or a grooming session.
There could not be a more trustworthy, gentle or kind person to care for your dog. Michelle is also extremely knowledgable of the care and safety of animals. She was a previous owner of a grooming salon where clients came to her when no one else could groom their dog. She has such a positive and calming energy with the dogs and they know it! Michelle has over 13 years of experience working with dogs. You can be assured your dog will fall in love with Michelle and her work ethic and reliability are beyond exceptional! I give her my highest recommendation!
I have a super anxious husky that finds it hard to trust new people. But Michelle knew just how to make her feel safe and comfortable. She loves her walks and almost gets more excited to see Michelle than she does me.

Schedule
I attend college online at ECU so I am available any day or time. I do need a few hours a day to spend doing my school work, which won’t affect drop ins or walks, but if I’m house sitting I would do this work from your home (:
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that every dog is different so I am very flexible on what kind of care you need for your pet. If you want a stroller walk for senior pets or a run for an active dog or if you simply just want me to play fetch in the house. You know what your babies need the best!
Pets
A typical day
I love to go on walks and explore the outer banks. On days it’s too hot, we can stay indoors and play puzzle games, fetch, or simply just cuddle on the couch.
