Information Michelle A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special preferences to account for. Our Goldendoodle loves all dogs and all games but we know others are not the same. Please tell us how best to make your furbaby feel as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

We love to play fetch in the backyard. We love to go for walks down by the creek. We love to snuggle with our furbaby visitors.

Michelle is a very good communicator and I appreciate her fast response. Lala stayed with her 3 nights and it looked like she had a good time. She has a fenced backyard where Lala got to run around with her new friend/s. The only thing is that Lala is 8 months old and supposed to eat 3 meals per day, especially recovering from diarrhea prior to staying with Michelle; she got fed only twice a day even though I communucated and packed 3 meals per day (3 meals came home with her). She is skinnier in just a few days, so for that, 4 stars. I could have left a written note instead of verbal communication, which I regret. Other than that, Michelle and her family are very lovely and we appreciate for their great care🫶

My pups did very well with Michelle! She was great at communicating with me, and made sure that I knew what my dogs were up to. I loved the pictures that she sent of them. I highly recommend Michelle.

Thank you Michelle for taking care of Mowgli while we were away. Michelle is the best sitter. She reported regularly on Mowgli and sent us pictures daily. This is the second time this year we had Michelle watch mowgli.

Thank you for having taken such good care of Nina. She no doubt enjoyed the extra attention and interaction with her peers (new pup friends).
