Loving Farm Care for Your Furry Family—55 Years of Animal Experience! Hi, I’m Michele, a lifelong animal lover with 55 years of experience caring for all kinds of creatures! I live on a small farm with horses and have a deep understanding of animal behavior, care, and affection. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I regularly watch my kids’ dogs and love having furry guests around. Whether your pup needs a safe and loving place to stay or just some extra belly rubs while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. My home is peaceful, my backyard is spacious, and full of love—perfect for dogs who enjoy fresh air and a calm environment. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged friend! Let’s chat and see if I’m the perfect fit for your pup!

Ratings and reviews
Michele was super friendly and our dogs and cat loved her! The dogs were happy and well taken care of and the cat said hi too.
We would like to add another excellent review to follow the many excellent reviews that preceded ours. Michele is everything you want in a warm and responsible pet sitter. She has earned those excellent reviews.
Gracie had a wonderful stay with Michele. In fact, she had a wonderful stay with her extended family. Gracie warmed her way into having everyone throw balls for her and snuggle up. I can't imagine a better placement for Gracie. It is a long drive to drop her off but Michele made it worth it by providing excellent care and communication . I give Michele my highest recommendation.
Michelle is amazing. She genuinely cares about my pets and they love her. She owns a big backyard with a tall fence and there is also a very spacious pool where dogs can swim if they want to. She responds quickly and shares updates with us. We feel lucky to have her take care of our pets.
Michelle went above and beyond taking care of my pets while I was out of town for almost two weeks. She shared videos with me and the communication was pretty transparent. My dogs had a great time together with her. She took the time to get to know them and even make sure they were taking their meds. Highly recommended.
Michele & her husband took excellent care of my young dog. It was extra kind of them to accept her into their home as she is a loving but energetic Pitbull. I couldn’t be more grateful.

Schedule
As a retired grandma, I spend my days at home on my small farm, tending to my animals, working on projects, and enjoying the peaceful outdoors. Because I’m home most of the time, I can provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care for your pup. Whether they love to explore, relax in a quiet space, or soak up belly rubs, they’ll get the love and supervision they need. With a calm and cozy home environment, your dog will feel safe, comfortable, and right at home with me!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I have a spacious, secure backyard where they can enjoy fresh air and plenty of room to stretch their legs. Whether your pup prefers free range of my home or feels more comfortable in a crate, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. With years of experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra attention, I understand that every dog is unique. I provide a calm, loving environment where they can feel safe and cared for—whether that means playtime, fetch in the yard, or plenty of cozy naps. You can trust that your pup will be treated like family while in my care!
A typical day
Your pup’s day at my home will be filled with love, comfort, and plenty of attention! Mornings start with a potty break in my spacious, fenced backyard, followed by breakfast and some belly rubs. If they love to play, we’ll enjoy some fetch in the yard or explore the farm together. For dogs who prefer a cozy spot to relax, there are plenty of comfy places to curl up and nap while I work on my farm or house projects. Throughout the day, your pup will have plenty of companionship, whether they want to follow me around, sunbathe outside, or just enjoy a peaceful home environment. Meals and treats (if allowed) are given on schedule, and I make sure every dog gets the care and attention they need, whether it’s extra potty breaks, medication, or just some snuggles. Evenings wind down with more playtime, cuddles, and a relaxing night before bedtime. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow their routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!

- To ensure I can provide the best care for your dog, it’s helpful to know a few things ahead of time. Please share any dietary restrictions, allergies, or medical needs, along with their typical routine for meals, potty breaks, and bedtime. It’s also good to know if they have any special preferences, like favorite toys, play styles, or any behavior quirks. If your dog is crate-trained or has any anxiety triggers, I’d love to be aware so I can make them feel as comfortable as possible. The more I know about your dog’s unique needs, the better I can tailor their care and make them feel at home!
