Fun at Camp Burgundy
To be a good neighbor, To limit happy yappy dog noise, drop off/pick ups are between the hours of 8am-8pm. If you have early or late vacation flights we will need to board dog before or after if they fall outside of our 8-8 time frame. Feel free to message with any questions before booking. Need aquatic therapy? Pool newly remodeled for canine aquatic therapy. Swim time in the summer heat for your fur babies with weight or joint issues. Need training? My partner is a professional K9 trainer. Feel free to inquire about 6 week dog training instruction. We can get your best friend trained up and make you a proud owner. I have cared for animals since I was a child. I have had dogs,cats,birds, horses, fish hamsters, mice, chickens... Currently I have a Pomeranian who is 13 and a Goldendoodle pup that was a client first. I have multi fenced off areas of my yard. I can handle medication management and special diets no problem. I can be flexible to assist client needs. I have cared for donkeys, alpacas, turkeys,aviaries, ducks. I have lived on a ranch and also cared for a friends mini ranch when she relocated out of State. Love helping animals. My schedule is flexible and I understand at times unexpected things come up. I’m willing to meet a clients needs as best I can. Book early for summer vacations and holidays.

Ratings and reviews
We had a great experience with Michelle. Our dog got sick while in her care and she handled it really well — she rinsed his eyes out carefully, kept a close eye on him, and made sure he was comfortable. She also sent regular photo updates so we never had to wonder how he was doing. It was reassuring knowing he was in good hands. We really appreciated her attentiveness and would trust her with our dog again.
Michell was great! Max has never stayed away from home. She sent lots of photos and communicated well! Max looked like he had a great time playing with the other dogs and slept like a baby when he got home. Thank you!
Michelle and her husband are lovely. Dre had a great day with so much play time, Michelle even corrected his jumping behavior and for the first time in a while he did not jump on my husband when he got home, which is amazing. They have a beautiful backyard and a wonderful pool the dogs can swim in. I’ll definitely be bringing Dre back again for day care 😊
Rocky seemed to have a great time at Michelle’s! He came back relaxed and happy. She sent lots of pictures to make sure I was kept in the loop. Great experience for our first time using Rover
Thank you Michelle for being an attentive & caring dog sitter! You made me instantly comfortable leaving Artemis with you and the other pups for the first time. It’s great how you introduce new dogs to the rest of the pack one by one - I really appreciated that and the photo updates!
Our two golden retrievers are always excited to stay with Michelle and get the best care!

Schedule
I am retired from the Fire Service and make your pets my priority. I interact with the dogs all over my property during their stay. I keep them busy and engaged in play with other dogs. I work on their socialization skills with dogs of various ages.

Safety, trust & environment
I have 2 dogs for your dog to visit with in my home and yard. During nice weather we all spend most of our time outside lizard hunting in the yard, exploring around the fruit trees and visiting the pool area.
