The Downtown Doghouse

Fly outs from FLL, Cruises, hotel pop ins, late night events? As a lifelong animal owner and current foster for BT Rescue, I am the perfect choice for your beloved pup. I am an active WFH professional living downtown who truly loves the company of dogs (more than people!). I have a special connection & bond with dogs. As I welcome your dog into my 2 story town-home, they will immediately become part of my family. They will be the ONLY dog as I only work with one family at a time to ensure your dog is TOP DOG. My goal is to make your dog feel like he/she is on vacation while you are! Do they sleep in bed? Then, they will sleep in my bed too! Slumber paw-ty! I will work with you to create an environment specific for your dog. Whether it's just a really quiet home or a energy fueled paw-tay! I only care for one dog at a time so feel confident that your dog will get the love and attention they deserve and are accustomed too! As a homeowner, I live downtown in a gated community with large green areas as well as a small paved backyard and front patio! Know your dog will be safe as they walk & play in a secured gated community in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale!

Michelle was wonderful! Went out of her way to come meet Bowie before she started walking him. Made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She went above and beyond. HIGHLY recommend.

Our girls Kali & Lucy love Michelle! She and her pooch Riggins have given us a warm welcome with into their home. Michelle is a great host and a true dog lover. She has been very flexible with our schedule dropping them off and picking them up and we are fortunate to have found her. Its easy to see that our dogs are loved and well cared for.

Michelle is an excellent caregiver, she's one of those people whom really cares about animals and their welfare. She took care of our Heisenberg for 7 days when we needed someone to watch after him as we were heading out on a last minute cruise. After a meet and greet with her we felt VERY comfortable with leaving Heisenberg with her and according to the pictures she provided, he had a blast with her and her dog Riggins. She needs to be Rover approved, don't miss out on this one.

I left my baby girl with Michelle for 2 nights. It was a great experience for all of us. Monalisa had a great time playing with her Boston Terrier. Michelle sent pictures during the whole stay and even took her to a dog park. I will definitely recommend leaving your babies under Michelle's watch. She is great.

I can't think of a better dog sitter than Michelle. She is one of those one in a million people that you're truly lucky to cross paths with. Your fur-kid will be so happy with her. She is filled with such a sense of wonder and adventure that your dog will beg to see her again! I would also point out that the photo updates are probably going to be spectacular!
