Pet care experience

Cant wait to take care of your baby

My name is Michele. I'm 52. I live in the village of palmyra For many years, I have owned dogs and cats. The majority have been rescues that are special needs. I have also fostered dogs till they are fit for a forever home as well as worked with the local animal hospital to take care of sick dogs till they are ready to go up for Adoption. I also have experience with asthma, chemo and diabetic treatments. I have one dog at this time. He is a 9 years-old Papillon Poodle that is 10 lbs. He is great with other dogs and would be going with me wherever i go. I have sat for families in Illinois ( where I used to live) when they would go out of town as well as stop in visits. I have lived here for 13 years now in Wisconsin and have sat for well over 100 families. My services includes play time, regular car rides, walks or runs, sleep in beds, play time and rarely left alone. I would love to hear about your loved one and how I can help you.

Michele took wonderful care of our dogs. When we picked them up, they were happily tired, showing they had plenty of exercise and attention. Her spacious home and yard gave them room to move around, which was a big plus. We were pleased to see that they returned calm, comfortable, and in great condition—not at all distressed. One suggestion for the future would be to provide a few more updates during their stay, whether through pictures or quick texts. That would make the experience even better.

Michele is a great sitter. I could tell both of my dogs got plenty of exercise and play. They were very mellow for the next two days. Plus I had an emergency the day before I had to pick them up and asked Michele if she keep them for an extra day. She said yes, it saved me from a big hassle of trying to find someone else at the last minute.

Teddy had an amazing time running around in Michele’s backyard with his new friends. Would 100% rebook!

Michele was excellent to work with! Easy to communicate with. She definitely knows dogs and has a house that is dog friendly. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a good place for their dog while they are away.

Michelle was amazing. My puppies played like never before and came home so tired and relaxed. There was no question they were well cared for!

I felt very comfortable leaving our lab with Michele. I loved her fenced in yard and gate in the house to make sure he didn’t sneak out (he is a runner!) I would recommend her and will use her again!

I don't have any breed preferences. I love them all. I do require a copy of proof of shots to stay here. I also require a meet n greet before taking on a new dog to my dog family. I need to make sure your dog will be a good fit and everyone is safe.
