Michelle was wonderful with our Kelli while we were away! I appreciated that she took notes throughout our first meeting as I walked her through Kelli’s care needs. I loved getting the reports after each visit and especially the pics and even an adorable selfie! ?? It was a huge relief knowing our girl was in good hands. I highly recommend Michelle if you need a thoughtful, reliable person to care for your beloved pet. Thank you Michelle! ?

Safety, trust & environment

Safety has to come first. It’s a big deal to trust someone with your pets and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I am able to triage and/or manage many medical issues that may arise. I leave your home at least as clean as I found it.

Information Michelle W. would like to know about your pet

Allergies, likes and dislikes, anything the owner thinks is important. I would hope to be told things like if your dog barks at other dogs or people on walks and how the owner would prefer I handle that. I also want to maintain the pet’s routine as best I can, so if they get a treat from the jar on the counter when they come back inside or something like that, be sure to tell me.

A typical day

I like to take routes that are familiar to the dog while they’re still getting to know me. I’m open to any areas the owners prefer, or I’m happy to just explore the neighborhood.
