Pet care experience

I have had the pleasure of caring for a variety of breeds of all ages for 30+ years. My pet sitting services are UNIQUE as I offer a premium experience focusing on personalized care and comfort by servicing ONLY 1 PET/FAMILY at a time in my CAGE-FREE spacious home. Outside of the basics of food and water, I believe pets should be provided with plenty of love and attention as well. For young dogs, I provide ample playtime and exercise to keep them mentally and physically healthy. As senior dogs may have individual needs in terms of exercise, diet, and medical care, I am comfortable and knowledgeable in addressing those needs.

Wilbur had so much fun at “Camp Michele.” He was smiling in every picture and video she sent. He is full of energy and she kept him busy with puzzles, toys and ball-playing. She was also very flexible and accommodating when we had travel delays. We are so happy we found her and will definitely use her again.

I highly recommend! Michelle sent plenty of pictures and I’m positive that my dog had as much fun with Michelle as my family had on vacation.
