Backyard Run-“Feels Like Family”

Pet care experience

“You feel like family” is probably our favorite compliment and most often heard review. If physical attention is what your pet loves-there’s plenty of that over here! We will snuggle and love on your dog like it’s ours. Your pooch/kitty will be the center of attention in our family for the week! We have a well-fenced backyard with large grass area, free of cacti, to run and play. We’re an active family of 4 often found outside with our “doguests” playing catch. Someone is always home in this house. If we can’t be home, for more than a 2-hour errand, we will always let you know. We will text you pics and videos of your dog playing and enjoying their vacation with us! They get plenty of exercise here, often with more play than they’re typically used to (per their owners’ comments). They sleep well here too, surrounded with hugs and petting to balance it out! We can’t resist buying treats for them and spoiling them (yes-our doguests over Christmas had her own stocking hung with care). Do not worry, we love taking care of your precious one.

Michele and her family were excellent caregivers to my two corgis. They have a one stay policy (one pet at a time,) and no pets of their own which was ideal for me. Both my dogs came home happy and healthy. I highly recommend them!

Michele and her family are awesome. We got plenty of photos and updates and her kids just loved on our dogs. Her yard is an amazing space for those whose dogs love to run and play!

Our dog enjoyed his stay very much! We’re so happy to have a family for him to stay with when we are away! We are planning to use Shelly again next time!

Shelly took such great care of our pups. She has a beautiful backyard that is true doggy heaven and my pups love all the attention, treats and cuddles from her kids :) Shelly was great about administering medication for one of my pups and dealing with both their individual specific needs. Thank goodness we found Shelly and her family! 10/10 recommend!

Information Michele V. would like to know about your pet

We will ask about your pet’s potty habits and likelihood to have accidents. We are ALWAYS home. Pets have the opportunity to go outside at all times of the day. If you know your dog/cat has frequent accidents in new places, due to anxiety, age, etc, we are not the sitter for you.

A typical day

Have a large dog run in the back yard. Balls of every size. Sports and catch are constantly happening in the backyard with my family. We also walk the neighborhood often. We have dog/kid sleepovers by the living room fire in winter so we call ALL include the dog. It’s so novel to us to have a new dog to love on and okay with every other week! We have not owned a pet of our own in over 15 years.

I work from home. I only pet-sit about 6, 1-week occurances a year, so I’m able to pick the best fit for me, and the dogs that we connect with most. I also have a repeat clientele that I book an additional 3 weeks every year for. My (older) kids are with me every other week and are helpful in giving your pet even more exercise.
