Utopian Dog Training @ Virginia Beach
Michelle & Guest's Pets
Hi! Working with animals, has been a lifelong passion of mine! I'd be humbled and honored to walk/care for your pet(s)!
I am the proud parent of a beagle-mix Rescue dog, Redskin. She came from a horrific environment. But through time, patience, and unconditional love: she has blossomed into a care-free, happy, dog - that deserves every second of it. She saved me, as much as I saved her.
I have volunteered in animal shelters on the east coast for 15 years. I have experience with all breeds, temperaments, sizes, disabilities, etc - there is no pet care need you may have - I cannot provide for you!
Animals need love, attention, and to be cared for. When a pet parent in the community is not able to provide the care or time they need for their babies - it is my honor to step in that trusted role to do so!
Skills and qualifications







Other skills
I am able to leash train, potty train, I am certified in pet cpr, have first hand experience in Administering first aid, etc. These, and many more, are all skills obtained through my experience. I have worked with animals (especially dogs) for almost 20 years - since I was 16 years old. I have years of experience, paired with an unwavering passion for animals.
