Pet care experience
**I'm happy to say that like my dogs, I am fully vaccinated. I got the Covid vaccine in mid-March.** Dogs are my favorite people. I have over 50 years of experience in caring for dogs. I grew up with mid-sized mutts and a big Irish Setter. As an adult I've had Great Danes, Irish Wolfhounds, and a Borzoi hound. I'm a retired City employee, I'm free to spend time with my dogs (and yours) while enjoying my retirement. My previous dog, Simba, and I were a pet therapy team for 7 years. We visited Alzheimer's patients, the mentally ill, and participated in children's reading programs. I've been through obedience classes with several dogs, have done a lot of in-home training of my dogs. I have two adopted babies, a Great Dane, Tempest, and an Irish Wolfhound-Borzoi, Zephyr, both gentle giants who love to have company. Dogs I care for in my home must be dog friendly and up to date on vaccinations. My yard is fenced front and back, modestly sized but very shady. Outdoors time is supervised. Weather permitting, I spend a lot of time outdoors with them. The dogs wrestle and nap while I read or make art. The dogs sleep on dog beds in the bedroom or living room at night as they choose. My house is small but cozy, full of dog beds and comfy places to crash. I'll send you photos and status reports as often as you'd like.
Reviews
Michelle is wonderful. Dogs were well cared for as usual, lots of pictures, great communication, flexible & understanding about travel delays and arranging pick up times.
Michele was amazing with my dog. She cares for a number of dogs, is very good with them and I would gladly have her care for any dog of mine if we are in the area again!
She is amazing with dogs, really cares and very profesional! I loved her!
Michelle always takes such good care of the pups. We’ve left ours multiple times and they’re well cared for. The pups get lots of interaction with Michelle’s dogs, other visiting dogs, and human guests which keeps things engaging and interesting. Love getting frequent pictures and p-updates. Lets us rest easy that the dogs are happy while we’re away.

My yard is fenced front and back and I have two big friendly dogs to keep your babies company. Weather permitting I spend a lot of time out in the backyard with the dogs.
Home
Information Michele E. would like to know about your pet
Dogs welcomed into my home must be up to date on vaccinations, free of communicable illnesses and friendly toward other dogs. If your dog is a fence jumper or expert escape artist please let me know so I can be prepared. If your dog has any kind of health problems or special dietary needs please let me know. I anticipate you'll want to provide food for your dog, and I'll keep to your feeding schedule. I provide treats, or you can provide your preferred treats. You are welcome to bring beds, blankets, dishes, etc. Please do not bring toys.
A typical day
My dogs love to play with your dogs in my back yard and in the house. When the weather is nice I take turns taking the dogs out for walks. On Sunday mornings my friends come and we do the Scenic drive walk and take guest dogs with permission from the owners. They can also play in the sprinkler in hot weather.

I'm retired and spend most of my time at home. When I do have to go out, I secure dogs from different households in different spaces, sometimes allowing guest dogs to share space with my own dogs when I'm confident that they are getting along great. I keep my outings brief.
