Pet care experience

Compassionate and patient owner

I have been a dog groomer for years, I understand safety protocol and other animal care needs. I have trained animals for years aswell. I’m comfortable with administering medication. I can help work towards potty training and other training needs if desired. I’ll be sure your fur baby feels welcomed and safe in my home. I have kids that are patient with animals as we have cared for senior all the way to puppies. They will get plenty of rest and play time! If you let me know your preferences, I’ll be sure to abide. ❤️

Doggy Day Care • Mar 23, 2026

Abby & Chloe did well at Michelle's home. We really appreciated her getting us in with last minute notice and being understanding when we were a bit later getting back. Good experience! And thank you to her son, who helped out as well. :)

Michelle was great. She asked all the right questions and our dog came back to us nice and tired out from playing with her kids, her other dog and from being walked.

Doggy Day Care • Feb 15, 2026

Great communication. Gave my puppy good socialization with kids and other animals. Got pictures throughout the day so I knew they were happy. They had “day after” exhaustion from all the play!

Michelle stepped in for us when our usual sitter was not available to keep Stella over a holiday trip. Michelle’s profile says she also enjoys dog-grooming, so I asked her to add on that service at her usual rate. I appreciated her play and care with Stella, especially introducing other dogs gradually

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and definitely don’t mind animals in my home. I’m okay with animals on the furniture. My German Shepard is my cuddle buddy. I have fostered many other animals around my neutered male and he loves making friends! He’s great with cats and other small animals. He doesn’t bother any of them. If you need any special accommodations or the most you can tell me about your babys lifestyle, the better. I will be sure to follow! Whatever you need. 😊 I want to know it all so I can be sure they enjoy my home.

Pets

A typical day

I want to keep them busy and play play play! We can go to the doggie park and meet new friends! We can sit at home and play fetch. We can cuddle on the couch. Different dogs have different needs. Give me as much info about your fur baby as possible and I’ll be sure to keep them entertained! I like early morning walks or evening walks so it’s not so hot.

Please let me know any medication and special accommodations your fur baby may need. I’ll be sure to follow your rules whether in your home or mine! No biggie. My doggie is my baby so I want you to feel safe knowing yours is cared for like you would do! I’m a dog groomer as well! We can talk about that if needed. If you prefer your pet in a crate or not. Any treats you’d like to bring I’ll be sure to give them. If you want to call and talk to them. I’m fine with it! Sounds wonderful. I hope to hear from you in the future.
