A Paws-itive Place to get Pampered!

Pet care experience

We have a loving home at Dexter's House. Its a a Paws-itive Puppy Place where you can take your furry baby to hang out, get pampered or become a star pupil. Walks 2-3 times a day and constant play with training and teaching new tricks. I have very flexible hours, so early or late I am here for your convenience and schedule. We provide specialized care to suit your needs on a daily, weekly, special occasion or vacation basis. Dexter and Morgan are the resident pups. Dexter is a Golden-Doodle and Morgan, is a Basenji/Boxer mix. Both love to play, so if your dog needs some social skills, Dexter and Morgan are here to help you out! We provide services in our home. I have a large home, 6 ft high fences all the way around our yard! Lots of room to play and relax. I am Pet CPR certified, Dog Obedience certified and am a Certified Groomer all through Animal Behavior College. I am also available to administer medicine. If there are other services you require, just ask. We will always try to accommodate your needs. I have always had a love for animals and have been taking care of them for as long as I can remember. I also volunteer at the South Bay Animal Shelter on a regular basis. I have a passion for animals and their well being. I am vigilant on a positive, stress free experience for that each dog who visits here and am committed in making sure each one has an amazing time. Sometimes this means taking a little longer with each dog. Just like people, each has different learning curves and each needs different accommodations. I believe that you can adjust the variable and get amazing outcomes from everything from feeding, grooming and playing. That is how I see sharing, kindness, patience and understanding. The results are unconditional love! I hope you will let me care for yours. It is all about the comfort of your loved one, so lets set up a meet and greet and go from there. Smiles, Michele, Dexter and Morgan! Training my own dogs and pets, as well as my family's. Been caring for animals for over 30 years and grooming now for over 4. I am also certified via Animal Behavior College in Dog Obedience Program (Certification ABCDT39125) and Dog Grooming Program Certification (ABCDG39126) Why I love dog sitting Unconditional Love...its what makes this job more of a passion project... When I was about 9, I used to go to the pound/shelter everyday and walk the dogs. This evolved into a love for all animals. I brought home every stray animal from birds to cats to dogs and lizards. Meet my pets Dexter- my 4 year old Golden Doodle and Morgan- My 3 year old Basenji/Boxer About my yard 6 foot brick fence all the way around a spacious yard! No escaping this play place! My experience administering medication Yes, and am experienced and familiar with administering medication.

Book here immediately! You won’t regret it! I was looking for a last minute dog sitter because the following day I would be at Disneyland. Michele got back to my request within three hours and we met that same night. She was welcoming, friendly, gave me a tour of her house and spacious backyard. POTUS got to meet Morgan and Dexter too, I already knew it was meant to be. Also, the initial meet was easy and fast. The following day, I dropped off POTUS to Michele’s. Throughout the day, I was sent several updates such as texts and pictures of POTUS with his new friends. Michele even took a great shot of him catching the ball midair. Who else can do that for you? When it was time for me to pick him up, she bathed and groomed my pup with a Batman bandana (so cute). Thank you Michele. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the meet, dog service, and pick up. I will be coming back to Michele and her humble doggy abode in the near future. Book her business and you won’t regret it.

Michele was great with Luna. As soon as we arrived at the meet and greet she made Luna feel comfortable and get acclimated to her environment. Luna stayed three nights and came back home a happy dog. I will definitely use Michele again.

I have never left my doggies a lone but I had to get surgery done and left them with MIchele for two days. Not only was she super sweet about my dogs but she was super caring about me. Also when I got them back they were even better behaved then before! Will definitely be bringing my doggies back!

Michele was absolutely fantastic! She provided a great environment for Oscar to play with other dogs and have plenty of human companionship, too. Michele is very knowledgeable about dogs and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in good hands.
