Loving Care from a Multi-Dog Pro 🐾

I currently share my home with four incredible dogs: a Borzoi, a senior doodle, and two happy companions in between. This has given me years of hands-on experience caring for different personalities, ages, and needs under one roof. I also have extensive experience training puppies, from basic commands and crate training to building healthy routines and socialization. I understand the special care senior dogs require, including patience, gentleness, and medication management. My goal is always to create a safe, structured, and loving environment where every pup feels cared for, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I care for each dog with the same reliability, attention, and affection I give my own, because every pup deserves nothing less.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, dogs enjoy a safe and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel comfortable. I introduce new dogs thoughtfully and supervise interactions to ensure everyone gets along well. Consistent routines for feeding, potty breaks, and exercise help each pup feel secure, while lots of affection and positive reinforcement keep tails wagging. Communication is just as important—I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your dog is doing. Whether your pup is boarding with me or I’m caring for them in your neighborhood, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

Michelle was awesome! So communicative - sent so many pictures and kept us filled in about the boys. She’s very observant and attentive and alerted us to George limping a little so we could keep an eye on things which just shows she really cares for the animals she is watching. Highly recommend, will book again!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule, which means I can devote plenty of time and attention to the dogs I care for. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or winding down with evening snuggles, I’ll follow your pup’s usual routine so they feel safe and loved. My priority is to make sure every dog receives the right mix of exercise, companionship, and steady care so you can relax knowing they are happy throughout the day.

It’s important for me to know your pet’s routines, quirks, and preferences so I can keep them happy and comfortable. Details like feeding schedules, favorite toys, walking habits, energy level, and how they handle new people or other animals are really helpful. I also appreciate knowing about any medications, health needs, or behaviors to watch for, so I can give them the best care possible.
