Doggy Day Care • Aug 31, 2026

The second we stepped foot in Michelle’s home, we felt great about our decision to leave our dog with her. She was very communicative and prompt. Great home with lots of room for a doggo and a fenced in space outside. Or 9 lb dog seemed to get along great and play a ton with her pup. Our guy came home super tired and seemingly happy from a great day.

Michelle was amazing with my 2 dogs for drop in visits. I received daily updates including her time spent with them. She is delightful to work with!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 19, 2026

Michelle was wonderful! I was visiting Santa Fe for the weekend and needed a last minute sitter for Mike. Michelle was quick to respond and super flexible. Mike had a great time with her and her family :)

Michelle (and her family) were amazing. Monk loved staying with them and playing with their pup CJ. We would rebook with Michelle for sure! Thank you. 🙏

Schedule

I’m a grad student who’s in a hybrid program. I love to work from home and have the pet-sitting flexibility. I understand what it’s like to be away from your pets/loved ones. Therefore, I wanted to extend a helping hand and help you feel good about your pet being taken care of when you’re gone too.

It’s important for me to know the following: -Their meal portions/feeding schedule -Their medication schedule (if any) -Their energy level (high/medium/low) -Their daily exercise routine -Do they walk well with a leash? -Their personality, do they have anxiety, aggressiveness, destructive, or jumping tendencies? -What are their likes/dislikes? -Where do they sleep at night? -Do they know any commands? If so, which “words” do they respond to? -Do they play well with other pets? If so which ones, if not, which ones? -Any other fun fact that you think will help me take better care of your pup prior to them being under my care ?
