Experienced, confident, caring
Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
I could not be happier with Michelle! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. My Goldendoodle loved spending time with her and her dogs so much. I’ve already booked with her again! Highly recommend 🙂
I could not be more grateful for Michelle and Josh! They did an amazing job keeping me in the loop, sending me pictures and videos and answering my messages! I didn’t worry about her one time while we were away because I knew she was in great hands! She had so much fun and I will definitely be booking again with them! Highly recommend if you want your fur baby to be treated like family!
Michelle sent updates and pictures and Enzo had a good time!
Michelle is absolutely great! It was my first time using Rover and she made the experience great! She sent a lot of pictures and my dogs have a blast!
About Michelle B.
Communication
Skills
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. 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. If there are any reactivity issues upon meeting my dogs, I will keep dogs separated for a period of time for a cooldown/reset and reintroduce one at a time after visiting dogs have had a chance to get used to the sounds and smells of the house. This process has worked very well here when needed!
Home
Information Michelle B. would like to know about your pet
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.
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.

Availability
I work a flexible schedule at my job 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.
