Leo and Michele have an amazing meticulously clean, gorgeous home for furbaby comfort! It was the perfect environment for our 14 year-old deaf senior lady who was well cared for and enjoyed sniffing on walks and meandering about the lanai. We relaxed knowing she was in great hands! We received daily pics/videos and tips about where to eat and shop too- Thank you Leo and Michele!

Michele and Leo were phenomenal. I am in town visiting and luckily found this magical place to leave my baby. Harley loved playing with her new friend April (another yorkie). Michele sent multiple photos of my dog relaxing and taking over her home for the delay. I am forever grateful for this positive experience. Thanks Michele! We will have to come visit again soon.

Michele did an excellent job with our dog and our dog felt right at home with her almost immediately. Typically, our dog doesn't eat for the first day or two when traveling but was eating a full meal the first day with Michele - I can't even get the dog to do that! Michele and her husband were very accommodating with our schedule as traffic, road construction delays and other travel related problems with Thanksgiving took a toll on our travel arrival and departure. We highly recommend Michele! (And so does our doggie!).

Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my five month old puppy. Daisy loved her new playmates and her new love Michelle. She accommodated our schedule to drop off our dog at 6:00 am. I truly can’t say enough good about Michelle!!❤️

Michele and her husband with their sweet little baby girl (Cutest & kindest little Yorkie) 🥰🥰🥰🥰 were absolutely 💯 with my little girl. The kindness emulated from their photos, to the moment you step into their absolute stunning designer home? You yourself feel like you just got to your favorite Auntie & Uncle’s home that always has the best smells in the oven, and always make you feel like they couldn’t wait to see you, give you a huge hug and ask how the kids are doing. This couple is an incredible couple whom have life experience, heard it all, and understand. Truly. I think I got a free therapy session that they didn’t even know they had offered or delivered with their loving kindness. You both are an amazing couple whom are so beautifully, perfectly matched inside and out. Thank you for sharing your loving home with my little furry girl today. She rarely wants to kiss anyone or lean in to anyone but me. You captured two hearts today hun. You still have the mothering gift as your second language🥲🥰💓

Michele is INCREDIBLE! She and Leo gave our little girl the love and care she needs which absolutely put my husband and I at ease when we left for a week. She communicated everyday throughout the day and sent so many pictures and videos of our dog during her stay. We can’t thank her enough and we will definitely be using her in the future!!!!
