Pet care experience

Experience

We have taken care of and trained all types of dogs from a pet shop dog that everyone said was our worst mistake and ended up being the healthiest dog we ever had to a Labrador that had an auto-immune and seizure disorder and had to take medication every 12 hours. Currently for the last year and a half we have been fostering a 5 year old American Staffordshire Terrier for a rescue that is dog reactive and was abused. We have experience with almost all situations. Right now because we are fostering a dog reactive dog we can’t have any other dogs in our home, but we will insure your four legged family members are safe and well taken care of in their home environment.

Safety, trust & environment

In our home with the dog we are currently fostering, we have him on a harness and a lead line to let him out in our back yard. Because he is dog reactive we walk him everyday in a parking lot across the street from our house. For us safety would be of utmost importance while care for your pets.

Michele stepped in last minute to help make sure our pups didn't have to be left home alone all day. We don't know what we'd do without her!

Best ever dog sitter. Michelle treats my dogs like they are hers. Conscientious and reliable. Goes above and beyond when caring for your pets. Communications are always open and reassuring when she is caring for my dogs.

I reached out to Michele and Rob weeks before I adopted my puppy. Generally my neighbor lets out my puppy 1 day a week and I was a little apprehensive about finding strangers who could help me when I have a king work day and my neighbor isn't available From the get go Michele has been and engaging and prompt communicator. She is excited to meet new people and dogs and develops an easy rapport with them. For the meet and greet she asked great questions before she and Rob arrived on how to best greet my dogs and if there was anything they should know when they approach me, the dogs and my home. I have German Shepherds. My dogs warmed up to both of them quickly. They showed up on time and seemed genuinely interested in the dogs and me. Rob walked my puppy yesterday and sent a nice summary and pictures as well as their walking route. I'm excited to have them as part of my team! They work well as a team and enjoy dogs and walking.
