Dogs are good for the soul.
Pet care experience
I've been in love with dogs since birth. I was raised with dogs of all sizes, though primarily northern breeds. I have experience mostly with medium, large, and giant breeds. In my home, your pups will have access to two other friendly dogs and two kids to play with. Our cats, oddly, like dogs and will probably try to head boop them. Frequent potty breaks, snuggles galore, a daily walk with me and the children, and a once or more a week play date at the dog park are all things I offer. I'm happy to give your pup a good brushing if needed, and baths if needed after playing at the dog park. Treats and toys can be provided by you, or by me. I have helped dogs into their older years and through medical journeys, I also was a nurse before staying home with my kids. Giving medications, orally or by injection, are things I am comfortable with if needed so long as your dog is open to a new person doing so.
Reviews
We were very happy with our experience having Michelle watch our dogs. She sent us pictures with updates on how they were doing which made us feel at ease. I would definitely recommend them.
I deployed in 2015 and needed help watching my 10 month old German Shepard. Michelle selflessly came to my aid and took the best care of my pup I could ask for. Yoyo had constant care and attention and was in perfect health when I came back, she actually ended up keeping her for a lot longer than intended. I honestly felt 100% comfortable with Michelle taking care of my pup, I wouldn’t have wanted her to be with anyone else!

Information Michelle H. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences, we have a staffy-mix and a husky/malamute mix, though medium or larger in size is probably best so they won't be overwhelmed by the in-house playmates =).
A typical day
We have a creek and an acre forest on our property that we can hike and play in during good weather. Otherwise a walk through the paved quiet residential neighborhood is probably where most of our walks will be. Once or maybe more per week (depending on weather) we go to the dog park to let everybody run out their crazies.
