Information Michelle D. would like to know about your pet

Does your pet play well with others? what are your pets favorite things to do? Fetch with a ball, frizz bee ect. What are your pets naughty behaviors? Nipper, aggressive. We have two dogs Joey and Chloe. Joey loves to play with other dogs. Chloe has a ball that makes her angry its a strange thing but this big plastic ball sets her off so needless to say We hide it from her, however; Joey loves to play with the same ball. These traits are the type of things we need to know about your pet (fur babies)

A typical day

While your pet is with us and depending on what your pet is accustom to we will follow those guide lines, however, We will play fetch and go for walks. I will always brush your pets coat at least once a day. Healthy doggy treats are provided and given for positive behaviors.

Four Legs are Better than Two!

Pet care experience

I have always been the person my friends, neighbors, acquaintances, & coworkers bring their pets to when their lovable creatures just can't go with them. Whether you are considering a get-away day, a weekend, or even an extended vacation, there is no place more loving for your fuzzy sweethearts! That is because I just LOVE animals, and I love when they come to visit! I treat my pets like family, and yours will receive the same protection, love, affection, personal attention and play/exercise time that mine do. I have a large, sectioned yard with a sizable, configurable habitat that includes a 10'x20' sheltered area for hot or rainy weather, 15'x30' powdered granite/dirt area to dig in, security, night lighting, 2 plush green lawns, and even a wading pond. Also, for your pets' additional comfort, there is a doggie door leading to the house. When we have to leave, there is still ready access to an air-conditioned and heated room. So, if you love your pets with all your hearts, and you want to ensure they have a compassionate and fun "home away from home" (rather than being caged up in a kennel or ignored in a back yard), then this is the place to come again and again! I too love to travel and my first thought always is, "What about my fur babies? Can they come with me?" Sometimes it just isn't possible, so if I can't get a dog/house-sitter, I usually cancel my travel plans. It seemed logical to assume that other pet-lovers must go through the same dilemma. So, I decided I would become the solution to the needs of both you and your pets. I will care for your fur babies the same way I care for my own, in a safe nurturing environment. As an added benefit, you will receive updates via email or text messaging while you're away, including a description of their activities and even photos so you don't get too lonely while you're away :-) I look forward to meeting you and your pets :-)

Michelle was so great. She took care of our senior dog over the holidays and sent us regular updates and pictures. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and was flexible with the dates we needed dog sitting. Thank you so much Michelle!
