Dog loving grad student 🐶

Pet care experience

Though I didn’t grow up with dogs in my household, I have always loved dogs and look for every opportunity to care for or play with them. In the past year, I’ve successfully fostered two dogs who have been adopted by caring families. Those were incredibly rewarding experiences and I hope to bring everything I’ve learned into working with your dogs!

Michelle is outstanding-- enthusiastic, proactive, and professional. Her experience in fostering two energetic dogs has clearly prepared her for anything, and her love for animals is so apparent. She's an excellent communicator who will keep you in the loop about how your pets are doing. Highly recommend working with her!

Michelle is an amazing person and dog caretaker. She fostered two dogs in the past year and truly dedicated her time to making sure they were well fed, comfortable, and had fun on frequent walks. She is so gentle around dogs and I have not met a single dog who dislikes her.

As a person, Michelle is responsible, trustworthy, and generous with her time, but when it comes to dogs, she goes above and beyond. She fostered dogs during the COVID19 pandemic, whom she spoiled with fun hikes and ensured their placement in homes by taking them to vet appointments. Whenever she see a dog, her eyes light up with joy and love (and we obviously need to stop to say hello!). I would not hesitate leaving my dog with Michelle, as I know she'd shower it with care and affection. In addition to being a dog lover, Michelle is an incredibly easy going and kind. She is flexible, accommodating, hard-working, and incredibly responsive. I really couldn't recommend a friend more strongly for this position and I so hope that dog owners in Boston/Cambridge have the pleasure of hiring Michelle to help out with their furry friends.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment with a back patio and am located near a dog park so boarding visits are feasible, but I am most comfortable with walks and drop-in visits.

Information Michelle W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs, medications, or allergies. Please let me know about any behaviors to watch out for (barking, chasing, pulling, etc), how they are with other dogs and people, and any locations to avoid. I would also love to know activities that your dog likes to do!

A typical day

I love to play games and try training tricks with dogs while watching them, if that’s something you’re interested in. I will typically walk or run with dogs depending on their energy level and bring them to dog parks in the neighborhood.
