Dogs deserve great days every day!

Pet care experience

I've had dogs my entire life. As an adult, I started fostering dogs for a local rescue, in addition to having 2 of my own. I've been taking care of family and friends' dogs since I was a teen, and I'm excited to keep your pup happy while you're at work or out of town! Our fur babies love playing with other dogs, so if you'd like to board with us, we can promise that you'll come home to a tired, happy dog! On any given day, we love to go for long walks, to the dog park, or play around the house and yard. I'm happy to accommodate specific requests for activities based on your dog's preferences. After a long day of adventures, we like to wind down with cuddles on the couch, and a good bath if needed.

Michele was awesome! Great with my pup, super accommodating, and very understanding when I got back later than expected.

DOG LOVER! Michele loves animals more than she does her friends :) From the time I met her I knew of her love for her own dog at home and she has been a foster parent to other dogs along the way too. I can remember a time when she had her own dog and two fosters living with her. The fosters had difficulties with trust and anxiety but Michele was adamant to find them a good and safe home. She finds so much joy in the time she spends with animals and playing with them. She truly does love to spoil them. She takes her own pup with her everywhere, she makes sure they have only the best foods, and are always safe. She would make a fantastic dog sitter.

Michele has always been a dog lover, and there's no one I'd rather trust with my own dogs than her. She's even great with animals who have severe anxiety issues. My parents had difficulty finding someone to watch their dog because she was afraid of anyone she didn't know and would bark and cower in her crate. Michele was one of the only people to whom she would respond and with whom she seemed to feel safe. Michele cares for others' dogs the same way she cares for her own and showers them with love, attention, and lots of belly rubs!

Michele loves dogs and is very attentive to their dog, Charlie. I am sure she will be an excellent dog sitter. If more info needed don't hesitate to email.

Information Michele M. would like to know about your pet

Before bringing a dog into my home, I need to know about your routines, as well as any peculiarities your dog may have. Since I have my own fur-babies, I would need to be sure our dogs could get along without any danger for either of them.

A typical day

Depending on what your dog likes to do, neighborhood walks, adventures at parks, or visits to the dog park are all options. I know that every dog is different, and I'm happy to tailor each visit to focus on what your dog needs.
