Pet care experience

Experienced, confident, caring

I have experience with dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I have extensive experience with behavioral issues with dogs, including but not limited to fearful behavior, possessive aggression, and other challenging issues. I have experience with cats with varying health and behavioral concerns as well. I also am experienced with reptiles, large and small birds, rabbits, and small mammals!

Boarding • jun. 22, 2026

Michelle always gives great updates, and puts my mind at ease. This was the longest I’ve had to leave my dog for (1wk) and when we picked her up she was just her happy silly self. I appreciate her taking care of my dog and providing her with love and lots of play time with her dogs!

My dogs are tuckered out from a week full of fun and games and good care (again). They love it at Michelle’s place and I recommend her whole heartedly

Dog Walking • abr. 14, 2026

Michelle was absolutely wonderful. She was always quick to respond and shared adorable pictures of Annie on walks. I asked her to walk Annie but she really went above and beyond to make sure she had everything she needed. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to watch and walk your dogs.

Schedule

I work during the day Monday-Friday. My husband Josh works from home. For drop in services and dog walking I am available mornings/evenings. When we are away from the home pets stay separated for safety. I can pet sit in my home, I currently have 2 empty bedrooms that can be used if needed while I am away from the home or to keep pets separated as needed. *Note, for boarding excessive barking/crying is not something we can accommodate.* Dogs are kept separated from each other while we are working and not providing direct supervision for safety, dogs with severe separation anxiety may not do well with this.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 6 foot fenced in privacy fenced in yard, monitored regularly for digging around the edges. 2 open bedrooms available for boarding pets who need to be separated from my dogs. I can walk dogs up to 120lbs comfortably. All dogs should be up to date on vaccinations prior to their stay with us. Crate trained dogs only. Upon drop off for new dogs staying in our home, my dogs will be separate for the initial first 30 minutes so visitors can get acclimated to the smells and sounds of the home before introductions and playtime begin. Prior to boarding new clients, we will require a short visit beforehand to ensure the dog is a good fit. This is free of charge, 2-3 hours to ensure your dog will enjoy a stay with us!

Pets

A typical day

I take time to play with all pets and provide an outlet for energy and stimulation. I love to hike, and am happy to take any dogs with me during their stay! There is plenty of space outside for fetch, or for free play with my dogs if they are interested.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
No females in heat
Michelle can host up to 2 pets per night
Any medical issues, behavioral concerns, things that are important to your pet and to you while you are gone! What are their favorite things to do? Do they have favorite treats? Separation anxiety? Dog reactive on leash? Need to be crated at night? How does your dog play with other dogs? These things help me to plan your pets’ most comfortable stay! In my home I have 2 dogs who love to play with other dogs, knowing your dogs’ personality and how they play with other dogs is important to know as well. Please let me know the status of their vaccinations ahead of the stay as well for all dogs safety. Excessive barking/crying is not something we are able to accommodate for boarding in our home. Crate trained dogs only.
