Since I’m retired, I’m home most of the day, so caring for dogs fits in very easily. I enjoy having them around and being part of their routine. I have a few hobbies, but they’re flexible and never take priority over the dogs in my care. If I need to step out for a short time, there’s always someone available to make sure they’re comfortable and looked after.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, dogs stay in a safe and calm environment. The yard is fully fenced, and the house is set up with safety in mind. I’m home most of the time, so they’re rarely left alone and are always supervised. They become part of our daily routine and receive plenty of attention and care. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions, so their pet feels comfortable and secure.

Dogs have always had my heart

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Micheline. I’m retired and have loved and cared for dogs for over 50 years. Dogs have always been part of our family and truly part of our hearts! I’ve also watched dogs for neighbours and friends, always treating them as my own. After saying goodbye to our beloved dog, I realized how much caring for them means to me. I now devote my time and heart to looking after other dogs who need a safe, loving place while their families are away. Your dog will receive calm, attentive care, affection, and companionship in a peaceful home environment.

Micheline is a wonderful person and a very responsible pet sitter. We are so happy to have her look after our senior pup, we know she’ll be well cared for and loved! We appreciated the updates and pictures, all great!

Micheline was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog Miso who stayed with her for a week while I was out of town. My dog suffers from separation anxiety and needs accommodations due to her age. Micheline had no issues with putting up a gate I provided so that Miso was safe and not using the stairs during her stay. She provided regular updates, was very responsive, and was such a pleasure to communicate with. She and her partner have a beautiful home with a fully fenced yard, and you can really tell they are both animal lovers. I would love if Miso could stay with them again in the future. Thanks Mich & Mich!

Micheline is amazing. She took care of my dog like her own, I didn't have to worry the whole time I was away, I knew she was loved and given a whole lot of attention.

Micheline cared for our senior Shih Tzu at her home for a number of nights. Zellie was very well cared for and she was happy when we picked her up. Micheline is friendly, professional and very caring. She connected with Zellie right away and we are very happy with her obvious love of dogs. She was always easy to reach and communicate with! Many thanks Micheline!
