Safety, trust & environment

I have a long room in my home just for your pet that leads to the fenced backyard where they can run around freely under my supervision. I send pictures and videos during their stay. I currently only own 1 dog, he is old and a bit antisocial. He doesn't interact with others no matter the gender, he just sniffs them and walks away or lays down next to them. He is mostly inside sleeping in another room. I don’t do walks in my neighborhood because the people here like to let their dogs loose, so I tire them out by playing in my home and in the backyard.

Pet care experience

I’ve had many different pets throughout my life. I’ve fostered strays before & found them good forever homes. I used to volunteer at The Medley Miami-Dade animal shelter. I currently only own 1 dog. I speak English and a bit of Spanish. Please respect my time by letting me know if you for sure want to book with me before the boarding date. The pictures in my profile are pets I have taken care of 💛

Michelle is kind, responsible, capable, willing, caring and treats our dog like we do. She gave us updates through videos and photos daily on our dog.

I have used Michelle twice now and she is amazing! I feel comfortable and my vacation knowing that my pet is taken care of, and taken care of well. She sends updates and photos which is nice. I will continue to work with Michelle!

She was so nice and attentive. My dog loves her and he was so happy when I picked him up. Thank you so much Michelle for your love and care.
