I have a large fenced in backyard where we can play fetch or lay in the sun. I'm also happy to take them out on walks if you prefer. My home is spacious and has lots of soft surfaces for lazy times. The rest of the time they're welcome to relax on the couch, play with toys, and go on walks.

Information Michele L. would like to know about your pet

I've never met a dog I didn't love, but it would be great to know these things about your dog before their stay: - What is his/her favorite kind of toy? - Is there anything that makes him/her anxious or afraid? - Where is his/her favorite place to be scratched? - Does he/she walk well on a leash?

A typical day

Relaxed, fun atmosphere for your dog to enjoy as much attention and TLC as they can possibly stand! I usually let dogs outside about every two hours to play and go potty, and the rest of the day they like to lounge around the house and cuddle with me while I work on the computer. I'm happy to be as active or as lazy as your dog needs. Treats and tricks are always encouraged, because they contribute to your dog's self-esteem and a proud dog is a happy dog! Relaxed, fun atmosphere for your dog, with lots of playtime and plenty of cuddling. I'm very familiar with overactive, nervous, and anxious dogs, and have no problem tiring them out to help them relax with tug-of-war, runs, and fetch. Separation anxiety can be tough on dogs, so I provide chew toys and as much interaction as your dog needs.

Pet care experience

I'm a life-long dog lover and experienced pet sitter with over ten years professional experience caring for our furry friends! I've had dogs my whole life and know how important it is to feel your pets are loved and cared for when you're away. My Bernese Mountain Dog Beans is sweet, submissive, and will be thrilled to share his home with your dog. I work from home, so no need to worry that your pup will be alone for long periods of time. Your pups will enjoy plenty of snuggles and affection, fetch, tug-of-war, or walks - I will treat them as if they're my children :) I also have veterinary tech experience, so administering medication and dogs with special needs are not a problem!

Michele is absolutely awesome!! She has taken away all our worries with leaving our spoiled pup on long work days. Michele was so friendly when we met her and it was great knowing how familiar she is with dogs. Every walk Michele has provided pictures and a little summary of how our dog was that day. Cannot recommend enough! She’s so great!!

A LIFE SAVER! Michelle was able to watch my animals overnight with literally one days notice. My pet sitter last minute cancelled. With a hope and prayer a sent a michelle and she responded so quickly, came and met my animals and pet sat the very next day. She is super responsive and trustworthy. She had no issues taking care of my two large breed dogs who get medications. She kept in constant connection with me and updated me. I am super thankful for her great care
