About Us

Elizabeth M.

Our dog, Raven, is a 9 year old border collie mix rescue with severe separation anxiety plus more anxiety. I never in a million years would believe how Michelle has connected with her.
In our meet and greet Michelle spent an hour of her time to get to know us and Raven. Michelle's approach was specifically tailored for our dog. She was patient, calm, and did not rush. Raven has responded very positively and loves all the attention she gets.
Michelle is professional...on time, communicates in detail every visit with pictures in the app, follows the care instructions perfectly and flexible when plans change.
I write this review with the utmost appreciation and respect of Michelle and her business, "Tail of a Good Time". I highly recommend her.

Michelle LeBlanc

Owner and Lead Dog Walker

Hi! I'm Michelle, and this is me and one of my dogs, Duncan, enjoying a walk through Green Swamp Nature Preserve. If I am not caring for your pets, I am probably out in the woods with my pups or walking the beaches. Thanks for taking a look at my local business and getting to know us a little better. Tail of a Good Time has been a labor of love. A love for animals is always at the center (heart) of what we do. Add a team with exceptional work ethic, professional level understanding of animals beyond just loving them, sprinkle in some fantastic people that love their pets, a large helping of pets for us to enjoy and care for and you have a small portion of what makes us the Tail of a Good Time Team.

My life has blessed me with always being surrounded by animals. Dogs, cats, chickens, horses, guinea pigs, and more. From 4H to horse shows to just enjoying the trails with dogs or horses, my life threw me some curve balls, lead me here and I am happy it did! I can discuss my previous corporate career too if you want but I would much rather talk about your pets.

Karen

Dog Walker

Hi! I'm Karen and I have always been passionate about animals of all shapes and sizes! Even as a child, I volunteered at the local animal shelters and I wanted to take them all home. I tried to venture into a different career but quickly realized I needed to blend my love for animals into a career. I had my own dog walking business for ten years before moving to North Carolina. Here, I met Michelle and, as they say (I don't know who they are), the rest is history.

I love working at Tail of a Good Time, getting to meet and spend time with your pets brings me happiness every day. I bring my years of experience as a dog walker, my vet tech experience and all the love for your pets. It is amazing to form the bonds with them and the unconditional love they give in return.

If I am not working, I am spending time with my four dogs and four cats, usually outside somewhere.

Rebecca

Admin / Dog Walker

Hi My name is Rebecca! I have always had a desire to work with animals. In 2005 I began volunteering with Collie Rescue League of NE to be involved with making a difference in the lives of animals and their people. I am proud to have served on the board of directors of the rescue in every position including league president. After a successful career in advertising helping others grow their business I decided it was time to launch and grow my own business. I thoroughly enjoy working full time as a professional career dog walker and entrepreneur. My commitment is to care for my customer's pets and homes as I would my own.
