Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable with crating, feeding, walking and playing with your dogs to give them a brake from being home alone! Even if it’s just a stop-in, I don’t mind doing a quick walk down the street if they prefer walking over playing with toys! I’ve suprisingly had a lot of dogs that don’t like to play with toys but I’m excited to learn about your dog to keep your pup happy, and if your pup is happy then we’re all happy!

Information Michalena H. would like to know about your pet

I cannot sleep in bed with the dogs, so if your dog only sleeps in the bed, unfortunately we will not be a match. If your dog has walking routes it likes and is used to I would love to know. Or if they like food served a certain way during stop-ins that is also important to know!

A typical day

I love to see what toys the dogs live the most. I also like to play ball to get some of their energy out through running. If they don’t like to play I can take them on a quick walk through your neighborhood.

Big Dog Lover !!

Pet care experience

My family has fostered dogs my entire life. I’ve worked with 4 different fostering groups of different animals, but I mainly work with dogs and have taken care of all size and breeds! I have worked with a lot of pitties and puppies, but big dogs will always be my favorite☺️

Michelina was great with Ollie and followed all care instructions. Wouldn't hesitate to have her sit again!

Michalena was great! She took great care of our girl while we were out of town for the weekend. Would recommend.

Michalena H. watched our little Daisy for the Weekend, She was prompt, and engaged Daisy as soon as she walked in the house. It did not take Daisy long to bond with her. It is the first time I had someone at my house, and I would do it again. Michalena, was very caring, and spent quality time with Daisy. I would have her watch Daisy, without a doubt, anytime. Thank you Michalena.
