Doggy Day Care • Sep 29, 2026

Jerry had his first "out of house" experience since we adopted him a year ago. I was apprehensive about it, but he seemed to enjoy himself immensely with Michelle as he was treated like one of the family and kept busy all day! Next time we go away I'll feel assured that I don't have to worry about him at all.

Outstanding care for the pet we both love. Having the grandkids was such a plus. Fiona adores children, and the kids loved her. She was so well cared for, she wasn’t all that anxious to come home with me. I think we may have to get ourselves another child to keep Fiona happy.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 10, 2026

If I could leave 10 plus stars I would! Ms Michy is a wonderful dog sitter and a wonderful person. I feel so blessed to have found her. Winston had a day visit and he seemed more comfortable with Ms Michy and he got along well with the little corgi that was also visiting. Thank you Ms Michy for watching Winston and for the fun conversation!

Mickey is our trusted sitter for our Westie Dory. She loves our pup almost as much as we do! We can confidently travel and not worry because Mickey communicates with us regularly with updates, photos, and video. She is an excellent sitter and a lovely person.

Michelle has a lovely home and fenced in space for taking good care of your pets. She is caring, trustworthy and welcoming. We’ve had our dog stay with her before this recent visit, and we’ll definitely use her again!

Schedule

I'm a substitute cafeteria worker during the school year and I'm free through the summer. I can easily walk in the late afternoon. I can board a pet at home having dog beds and a save fenced in patio area. My neighborhood is a lovely and safe place for dog walking.

Safety, trust & environment

Currently I have no pets since the loss of my elderly fox terrier in December at age 17, so there would be no problems with housing another dog. I have a fenced in patio area and a safe neighborhood for walking.

A typical day

I love to walk and can go for a few miles with a dog who can exercise for a good length of time or go for shorter walks with more sedate pets U would love to play fetch or tug of war too. We have a lovely dog-friendly neighborhood and nearby park

I would prefer to have kennel trained dogs for overnight or longer time boarding. I can give meds if needed and accommodate any special needs if notified about them.It would be nice to meet ahead of time
