Pet care experience
HIGHLIGHTS: • All breeds welcome. • Private boarding - I host only one dog family at a time, apart from Wednesday when I offer daycare services. • 24/7 companionship. Never left alone & by my side all day. • Fenced-in yard time once every hour. • No kids or visitors in the house during the stay. • My house is located on a private dirt road and the driveway is a quarter of a mile long. • Secure fenced-in yard, the rest of the property includes 12 acres of woods and trails directly behind the house, 3 acres of lake, and an additional 5 acres of land across the lake. • Available 24/7 for drop off/pickup, even late night or early morning hours. For over 15 years, I have dedicated myself to the care of dogs, ranging from puppies to seniors. Throughout this time, I have not only provided care but also rescued numerous dogs and other animals. My experience has equipped me with a good deal of knowledge in animal care and health, enabling me to handle various challenges such as medical issues, anxiety, behavioral/aggressive tendencies, training, and more. I understand that each dog is unique, with their own distinct personality and specific needs. However, I have honed my skills in providing specialized care and readily welcome pet parents who may be concerned about boarding their pups due to certain behaviors. Caring for dogs is not always a walk in the park, but I approach it with unwavering love, passion, and commitment. I have dedicated countless days and nights to tending to dogs with diverse challenges and rescuing surrendered/abused animals, providing round-the-clock care. Providing such dedicated care requires substantial effort, but the joy it brings me is immeasurable. I am willing to do everything necessary to ensure that your dog receives the treatment it deserves and is accustomed to. Why choose me? I take animal care seriously and, as it is my full-time commitment your beloved pooches will be under full supervision while under my roof and be given the best care possible. I differentiate myself drastically from other pet caregivers on Rover, Number One because animal care is my full-time profession. I have dedicated my entire life to caring for animals. Moreover, I have one of the largest, safest, and most enjoyable properties for your canines to vacation. Separating from a pet owner can be a stressful experience for pets and their owners. Your pups are warmly welcomed into my home, and I will take care of them exactly per your wishes. About me I am originally from Roanoke, Virginia. My husband Paul and I moved to South Lyon, Michigan from Charlotte, North Carolina. After settling down in Michigan and acquiring our property, I was able to start my career in animal rescue and care. I consider myself a responsible, trustworthy, and forward-thinking individual who takes great pride in what I do, that is, taking care of animals.
Reviews
Haley M. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Thank you Haley for taking good care of Shorty for the week we were out of town! Shorty had so many great adventures, a ton of exercise outside and loved playing with Haley’s dogs. Haley sent pictures each day. We were kept up to date with Shorty’s adjustment to being away from home including eating and sleeping. Haley is so wonderful and always thoughtful to check in and ask questions to help make sure Shorty’s stay was comfortable and fun! We will be asking Haley to watch Shorty again in the future.
Wonder place to leave your pups while you go on vacation! Very greatful for all the thought and care Haley puts into watching dogs at her amazing home.
Shorty, our pup, just had her first night away from home and was in great hands. Haley kept us updated throughout her boarding including pictures. Shorty got wonderful exercise with a lot of different activities with Haley and her pups. I am thankful we found Haley to take such great care of our pup and not have to worry while we are away.

Safety, trust & environment
Ensuring home security: • My household consists of my husband and I, no kids, and 50 chickens. • I have established connections with four veterinarians in the area who are located very close to my place. Two of them offer urgent care services for pets 24/7. • Our home is equipped with a surveillance system, providing security for your peace of mind. All areas are under surveillance and we do not allow hunting. • For pet owners concerned about their escape artist attempts, I have taken extra precautions. Whenever I leave the house to do errands around the property, your dog will be safely secured behind another door in the main cabin. • I never allow any dog under my care to roam freely on my property, even if I am told that they will not run off. There is always a chance that an animal may react unexpectedly when confronted by wildlife. • Our home is situated far away from the road, and we have no visitors or unknown individuals during your dogs stay. • To ensure the safety of our visitors, we conduct regular tests to maintain safe lake water conditions. Additionally, we take care to prevent the growth of algae. • If your dog enjoys catching fish or swimming, they will have a great time. I have caught up to 15lb bass and Sebastian frequently catches as well… • I have 50 chickens; I understand some may be worried about their dogs’ interaction with the chickens. There will be no interaction with the chickens. My chickens stay far away and enjoy free roaming so most of the time they are out of sight on other parts of the property.

Information Haley M. would like to know about your pet
I have all the necessary supplies, such as crates, leashes, collars, brushes, toys, cleaning products, puppy pads, and first aid supplies, in case of any injuries. What I need from you (Please): - Food (Any medications, allergies, etc.) - Sleep Schedule/ Normal Routine - A completed rover profile with up-to-date/accurate information.
A typical day
I have two other friendly and well-socialized animals that will keep your dog company during their stay. Your pet's stay will be tailored based on your preferences. Typically, dogs go outside at least once every hour. Moreover, I take them for multiple walks throughout the day on the trails behind my house, whether they are here for daycare or boarding. I have arranged for multiple leads with a range of 200 feet and a weight capacity of 500 pounds. Your dog will only be on one of these leads if you grant permission. While on the lead, your dog will be under my complete supervision at all times. Your dog will be by my side all day, and I will keep you updated with daily communication, including photos, on how their day is going. I will strictly follow their care instructions, feeding schedule, and administer any medications, if required, as per their usual routine at home.

Availability
I am incredibly flexible with my schedule. My day typically starts at 6 AM, and I am available for drop-offs and pick-ups around the clock - 24/7. I understand that there may be instances where you require assistance during late hours, and I am fully committed to being flexible in such situations. Flexibility is of utmost importance to me, as I strive to provide a level of service that surpasses other pet sitters who may have other full-time obligations.
