High-End Pet Services

I live in Maple Bay right beside Mt. Tzouhalem, so it’s my back yard, perfect to take active dogs. I grew up here so know all the mountains and trails very well. I have grown up on a farm with lots of animals. I am a reg.massage therapist but would rather be playing with animals. I am an athlete who enjoys mt biking and running up mt Tzouhalem with a dog or two in tow. Your dog won’t be on a slow walk with me but an actually long run. I also like to relax with a cat on my chest. 🐈 Here is a $20.00 Coupon for first time users- AMUSIM74253, https://www.rover.com/sit/amusim74253 My best friend is a veterinarian and she loves to go for runs with me and visiting dogs. It will be fun! I just started adding dog boarding to my list of services. I just had my first dog come stay with me for the last 3 days. I took this dog with us to the ocean and several times to Croften lake as he loves swimming. We went for mt bike rides and runs up Mt Tzouhalem that is right beside my house. Think of boarding with me as a Club Med Resort.

House Sitting • Dez. 04, 2025

Michelle was amazing with my energetic and a bit of a handful pup! He actually has been noticeably better with visitors after spending some time with Michelle.

Michele is a great dog person. She was knowledgable and kind, and had an instant rapport with my dog. Highly recommend her dog walking and dog sitting skills. It was a pleasure to meet and I felt totally safe leaving my dog in her capable hands.

Michele is great - really good with dogs and understands them. Appreciate her skill with animals. Suki(doggo) is happy and that is what is important.

Doggy Day Care • Aug. 18, 2024

Michelle was kindly available at very late notice after our other arrangement fell through. She was fantastic with Bertie and he had a great day of hiking, playing in the pool and chilling in Michelle’s house. Got lots of picture/video updates thought out the day which was much appreciated. Michelle really looked after Bertie like he was her own. Highly recommend !

Drop-In Visits • Sep. 14, 2023

Michele was awesome. Definitely the best cat sitting experience I've had. She even got all three of my cats to come out of hiding and visit - that never happens. She not only scooped the litter and managed the food and water, she also vacuumed the mess they made. It was so great to come back from vacation and not need to clean immediately - thank you Michele!

Boarding • Sep. 06, 2023

Wow! Michele was right when she said Club Med for dogs! Daily, I received pics, videos, trail maps of Dixie & Rueben so happy trail exploring, romping, splashing, running, swimming, playing, and then naturally??zonked right out! I see that they also got a lot of cuddles & safety grooms regularly. I appreciated Michele taking us on an initial tour, and explaining her dog care plan. She asked a lot of questions which made me feel even more confident in leaving D&R in her care. If you want to feel extremely comfortable in leaving your pet in someone else’s care and you also want your pets to have the most fun and exercise then “auntie” Michele is definitely your best choice.
