Pet care experience

Hello nice to meet you! 🐾 Hola!

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!

Michelle was fantastic. Her communication was excellent she kept me consistently updated on my pup and always made sure I knew how he was doing. I never had to guess about anything. Truly appreciated her care and attention.

Michelle is absolutely wonderful. She has taken care of my dog Nina multiple times, and every experience has been great. Nina is always happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when she’s with Michelle. Communication is excellent, she’s very reliable, and it gives me real peace of mind knowing Nina is in such good hands. As a repeat customer, I can confidently say Michelle is someone I fully trust and highly recommend.

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.

Pets

A typical day

They will get plenty of attention throughout the day. I provide gentle care for senior dogs & cats. We have a good amount of yard space for a dog to run around in. Indoor space for cats as well to climb & jump around. I have water bowls, feeders, beds, blankets and toys for your pet, mostly cat things. Please bring supplies to last for the duration of your pets stay, Like diapers and pee pads.
