Pet care experience
Our furry friends are family members! We currently have one cat (12 years old), a 75 lb dog Sami (6 years old) and a 10 month Lab/Shepherd mix, Tucker. I would love to fill my house with more dogs, but we have two adorable kiddos so for now, I love on other people’s animals. When walking, our Golden Lab becomes a puller, so we use a gentle lead and it works great. Our new pup, Tucker, is still learning how to walk with a gentle lead. Our cat gets scheduled, measured feedings, so I am comfortable with adding those to the services. I understand the importance of having someone use the house-sitting method. We used a dog & house sitter when we were in the hospital having our first child so our puppy would feel more comfortable being at home. I do work a full time job during the day, (and for now my husband works from home), but then I will go home and cuddle with your furry babies. We welcome other dogs into our home because it gives our dogs someone to play with. The only requests are that your dog is healthy and good around small children.
Reviews
Michelle did such an amazing job with my dog! She stopped over several times a day and spent plenty of time with him during every visit! I got tons of updates on both the dog and my house while I was away. Courage seems very happy and well cared for! Would definitely recommend.
Michelle was great! My dogs seemed very comfortable with her. She kept me updated, sent pictures and made me feel comfortable leaving my fur babies in her hands. I didn’t have a chance to poop scoop before I left, but came home to a poop free yard, and she even stripped the bedding and tossed it in the washer. I highly recommend Michelle if you want your babies to be treated and loved the way you love them!
Michelle is one of the most caring people I know, to both pets and their parents. I trust her with taking care of all three of my precious pups as if they were her own!
Michelle is a responsible, loving and consistent dog owner! She treats her dogs like her children and would care for any dog as she does her own! I can personal vouch for her ability to care for animals as i have let her watch my pup-babies before!

I have a big backyard that gives the dogs room to run. We also have an extra crate for if your dog needs to be crated while we’re away. I love cuddling with pups (at either my house or yours).
Home
Information Michelle D. would like to know about your pet
We love gentle giants. Our four year old is weary around small dogs (can get scared around my parents’ animals) but she handles our two big dogs okay. Unless they’re sniffing around her for food!
A typical day
I like to take walks around the neighborhood and to the park. We also play fetch out back in our large yard or the dogs with roughhouse inside.

Availability
I work full time as a teacher so I am out of the house during the day. However, my husband currently works from home and watches after the dogs during the day. If I am doing drop-ins, those can be accomplished before or after I go to work.
