Pet care experience

We love our furry guest <3

We Provide a clean and loving environment. Our loving family will shower your pet with LOTS of love, affection and attention! Originally from Northern California (Bay Area), but arrived in Georgia in July 2017 after eleven years in Hawaii. We have a fully fenced backyard, for your fur baby to explore. We had a dog of our own, named Bebop, in my profile pic. He was a fourteen year old, Bischon. He was very friendly, loving, kind and playful. But, he passed away. After a year passed, we got a new dog named Scruffy. We have love working with Rover and the opportunity to experience and spend time with many different breeds. If you're wondering if it's fun? It is! We are always excited to meet all of our new furry friends and their families. <3 We take small to medium dogs. We do not take any large dogs or any any Pit bull mixes. We rarely if ever book without a meet and greet, as this allows us to meet the family, and learn about each furry guest temperament first hand. I'm home each day and our furry guest are with our family. We have first feeding at 7:30 to 8 a.m. and dinner for them at about 5:30 to 6 p.m. The meet and greets allow us to learn about the needs of each furry guest and to see their temperament. We like to know when they eat, where they sleep and any other important details. This helps us to know how we will need to care for them and to make note of any special needs, such as medication.

Michele was very responsive and took care of our dog’s needs. She provided updates with pictures every day, and scheduling dropoff & pickup was easy. It has been challenging to find a sitter to match our small dog’s needs, so we are thankful that we found Michele in time for our most recent trip.

Highly recommend Michele, she gives daily updates and sends photos. Easy to set up times for drop off and pick up. Will use again. She even gives my dog a bath before pickup which is a great treat!

Michele and her family are absolutely wonderful, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I have a rescue dog who is extremely timid. He usually needs several visits before he warms up to new people, and he typically won’t eat in a new environment. To my surprise, he bonded with Michele and her family right away and even ate while he was there, which speaks volumes about the care and comfort they provide. Michele also sent plenty of photos and thoughtful updates, giving me complete peace of mind. I am so grateful to have found such a caring and trustworthy family. I will definitely use them again!
