About Michelle

Hi there!

I’m Michelle, an animal lover in my mid-thirties based in Footscray. I’ve had medium and large breed dogs throughout my life, and currently have an adorable staffy-cross rescue named Leya. Because of my experience with Leya, I know how to work with reactive and high energy dogs. So if you’re looking for a dog walker who can handle your reactive or even less-than-chill dog, I’m your gal.

I’m here to give your dog an engaged, fun and focused dog walk! Connecting with your dog is my priority, so that they can exercise and get stimulation that benefits their quality of life. Being a dog owner myself, I know that sometimes life gets busy and an extra walk when your dog needs attention just isn’t possible. I can help cover you so that your pet gets the attention they need.

Much of my knowledge and compassion for dogs and their owners comes from having a reactive dog. When I adopted my current dog Leya 3 years ago we had no idea how challenging it would be working with a reactive dog. She’s loving and friendly towards people but shows aggression towards other dogs. Through training and group lessons, I’ve learned so much about working with high energy and reactive dogs, and through dog walking want to use my skills to create fulfilling dog walks for your dog.
