Highlights
Pet care experience
Your PET’S next FAVORITE human!
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.

Ratings and reviews
I am so incredibly grateful to Michele for being just like a second mommy to Cash during his 3-day doggy daycare stay! Leaving your furbaby can be tough, but knowing Cash was chilling, enjoying the peace of nature, and having an amazing day out on a pontoon boat gave me complete peace of mind. Just like a toddler, Cash got to explore for the first time, pawing Franklin the turtle and attempting to sniff it, and later seeing deer foraging near the back porch. Michele truly has a gift—she is like "Mother Nature" in the way she creates a peaceful, joyful environment for Cash, even letting him relax on the porch to listen to the thunderstorm. From the start, she offered a meet and greet and was completely transparent in showing her home and backyard. Having previously dealt with a sitter who declined a meet and greet after claiming to have a fenced yard, Michele's honesty was incredibly reassuring. Her commitment to taking only one family at a time speaks volumes about her dedication; it is exactly how I would want my dog left, knowing he is receiving undivided love and attention instead of just being one of many dogs in a busy facility. She thought of everything; only a mom would think to have a doggy seatbelt ready for his rides and a life vest for his time on the boat. I am so thankful for her punctuality with his 9 AM to 5 PM schedule the first two days, and her incredible kindness in offering a late 12 PM to 8 PM slot on the third day so we could enjoy our family dinner at Rehoboth Beach completely stress-free. We appreciate you so much, Michele, and recommend you 100% from the bottom of our hearts!
You are simply the best! Harley looks forward to drop in visits with you! Thank you for always going above and beyond and staying well past your time limit to give her some extra loving!
Michele had a full schedule but still made time for a drop in with Wilbur. Thanks Michele!!!
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.
Michele is a true dog whisper, my fur baby went right to her like she was a long lost friend. My 90 pound pup can be a handful and michelel was able to her with ease. She followed all care instructions and was very professional. My pup was very relaxed and I can tell she was given plenty of love when I came to pick her up. EXCELLENT care Her care and attention made me feel like I was leaving my pup with family. I received video and pic updates of her stay. 5 star service!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
By providing a CAGE-FREE home-like environment and my one-on-one attention, I cater to their specific needs, dietary requirements and preferences. I aim to minimize stress from unfamiliar surroundings and interactions with other pets reducing the risk of illness and injury unlike traditional kennels/boarders. This is particularly beneficial for anxious or shy pets, helping them feel safe and secure in your absence.
