Dog-lover looking for a walking bud

I’ve had dogs all my life and while I do not have a god currently myself, I miss my parents dogs and love seeing them when I go home. I go on long walks each day so would love to find a dog I can take care of. I work from home so can be flexible to let them out during the day and overnights if needed!

Michelle took the best care of Birdie! She sent great photos and updates, and you could tell Birdie felt comfortable in her care. Would absolutely book with Michelle again! 😊

I can’t recommend Michelle enough as a dog walker and sitter. She’s a lifelong dog lover who’s grown up around both big and small dogs and is completely comfortable with all breeds, personalities, and energy levels. She’s incredibly reliable, very fit, and genuinely enjoys long walks and active time outdoors. When it comes to sitting, she’s attentive, patient, and treats every dog like her own — making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Any pup would be lucky to spend time with her.!

Michelle is a responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely loving pet caregiver. She pays close attention to each pet’s needs, keeps them safe, happy, and treats them like her own. I would confidently recommend her to any pet owner.
