Dog whisperer

Pet care experience

I have interacted with and cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds in the past 4 years, living with 6 dogs and 4 cats over in Texas and Washington. Your pooch will get the exercise of a lifetime, intense playtime and love, and attentive care to all of his or her needs! I stay at home 24/7 except for the occasional gym session and coffee run and even then, there is always guaranteed someone at the house (2 adults work from home). Special needs/medication welcome-- I have lots of experience with canine illness with my rescue. I’ve also raised several puppies and can definitely give your puppy the attentive care they need. If your furbaby has a specific physical activity they like to do or place they love to run at, I'd love to accommodate! :)

Michelle is my go-to sitter. Dependable, responsive, and my cat loves her!

Michelle was amazing with out one year old bernedoodle Loofers! We got so many pictures of them cuddling and it really felt like she loved him just like we do! We also had another sitter cancel last minute and Michelle helped to fill in the care gaps which we were so grateful for. Will definitely be reaching out to Michelle again soon!

My puppy had such a FUN time with Michelle during the week we were away! He got plenty of walks, snuggles, and attention. Michelle followed our puppy’s strict schedule to keep him on the potty training path! She sent regular photos and videos of Enzo, helping us remain close even though we were far away. Michelle took out the garbage, washed the bedding she used, & made sure every dish was clean when we got home. I was so happy with Michelle’s love for our furry baby, she’s AMAZING! Strongly recommend her staying overnight with your pup.

Safety, trust & environment

As each dog and cat is different, regimen is entirely different based on what your pet needs, whether it be time and space to warm up, high interaction, or lots of affection. I follow care sheets to a T and do my best to respect your home and your pet’s comfort zone.

Information Michelle Z. would like to know about your pet

Would love to know temperament and unique behaviors your dog has! I would like to know when and how much to feed, how often they like to go potty, if you're bringing their gear (crate?), time of arrival, and whether you're comfortable with them going on light hikes. No breed preferences!

A typical day

I have 2 local parks that are walking distance from my house that I'm sure your dog would love to go to! With your permission, your furbaby could go to the local dog park, lakes, and light hiking trails! I am also an expert at playing with dogs, to a point that family friends call me the dog whisperer. :)

I’m currently a student at UW finishing up my last quarters. I otherwise have no previous obligations, and typically spend my time at home doing coursework with the occasional dinner with friends. Time and attention to your pet is no problem!
