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

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

This was Tootsie's first time with Michele and she seemed to do fine. Michele was very kind and attentive to Tootsie's blindness. I think they were a great fit. Thanks for all of the pictures and updates.

Michelle was great once again in caring for our cat. Very dependable, sent pics each day playing with her. All was great!

We couldn't be happier with the care Louie received! Louie is a little dog who's almost 15 years old, and he's very pampered, so leaving him is never easy. From the very beginning, it was clear he was in wonderful hands. We received pictures every day, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was obvious from the photos that he was happy, comfortable, and being treated with genuine love and attention. She went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, and we are so grateful. We would absolutely trust her with Louie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our sweet boy!

She went overboard with my Teddy he is a slinky dog when it comes to eating sometimes he has problems with different types of food decides he doesn’t want to eat. She went out of her way to make sure he ain’t. I really appreciate everything. She did. Thank you very much, Michelle.
