Responsible, Loving and Caring

Hi, my name is Michele Dunlap. I am a seasoned dog caregiver with deep roots in the Allen community, having resided in the neighborhood for nearly a quarter-century. My dog-sitting service offers a warm, attentive home environment where canine guests are treated with exceptional care and respect. I provide personalized boarding where dogs receive daily walks and individual attention, ensuring that each furry guest feels comfortable and well-cared for during their stay. I provide a high-quality, loving experience for dogs. My commitment to reliable and compassionate short-term care makes me an ideal choice for pet owners seeking exceptional care for their four-legged family members. I have had dogs in my life since I was a toddler. My son rescued a Dalmation / Border Collie mix and she is the sweetest dog. She loves being around other dogs and has once again filled our home with love.

Michele did a great job caring for our dog! She made our first time Rover experience a stress free process. Michele also provided daily pictures/updates of our dog and quickly responded with any questions we had.

Michele was great and sent pictures while I was on my trip. I had flight delays coming back and she was very accommodating. Great experience!

We have 2 spoiled animals a cat and a dog in which neither seemed to be excited about seeing us or going home. That’s how well they were taken care of. We couldn’t have expected more and the twins kept us informed and comfortable. Thank you Michelle and fMiky

First time using Rover, out of necessity because normal boarding services were all booked for labor day. Was very worried because my husky is an escape artist but Michele made me feel extremely safe and my doggo had a fantastic time! Very grateful ☺️

Schedule

I work from home 5x per week and my adult son is home full-time. You and your pet can always count on me / and or my son being home to love on your pet and to be sure they feel loved. I treat every pet that comes through my door like it's my dog or my grand-dog. And yes, pets are allowed on our furniture. It's a home away from home.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard. I also have one adult son living with me who also love pets. We often taken care of our friend's pets when they travel.

A typical day

I do play with my grand-dog and whatever dog I am watching. I’ve had to play with a dog in order for him to eat, lol. And of course a dog walk is a daily occurence, unless it's raining all day, which very seldom happens.
