Looking for a few good dogs

Empty nesters that both work at home and are available to let playful dogs in and out as needed. We live about 10 minutes from Grand Mere Park and have a great neighborhood for walks. We have a large fenced yard that has an open grassy areas for playing ball and Frisbee and an equally large wooded area with a pond. For water loving dogs we are about a 5 minute walk to Lake Michigan (in warmer weather). We are the proud owners of Callie, a 7 year old boxer, who loves to have visitors to play with. We can provide separation for dogs that may not enjoy active play. Guest dogs become part of our family while they stay with us. We go for walks, to the beach, might stop by the dog park, or visit the farmer's market downtown.

Michaelynn has been a wonderful caregiver for our pet. She understands his quirkiness and gives him the special attention he needs. We know that he is safe and well cared for when under her care. Thank you Michaelynn!

Michaelynn was great. This was my first experience with River Michaelynn took the time to meet us prior to booking and introduce us to her lovely yard and her dog Callie. She gave me updates to show that Lola was enjoying her time. Will definitely use Michaelyn again!

Rex was a happy boy while boarding with Michaelynn. He got a lot of outdoor time and was well cared for. She even got our finicky guy to eat well! Thanks for the great care Michaelynn!

There is a wonderful yard with plenty of shade. Michaelynn was responsive, and I was grateful to leave my dog with her.

Schedule

I work from home and am able to let dogs in and out frequently. On warm days I will move my “office” on to the deck so we can enjoy the day outside
