Pet care experience

Loving, caring, and resourceful

* I have a dog. Meet & greet before booking is a must! Default meeting place is Doidge Park. There’s free street parking on Cromwell St. * Work from home most days. * Prefer afternoon and evening drop offs. * There may be more than two dogs in my home during busy seasons. I grow up having dogs around me and have taken care of several dogs since I lived in London. I’ve taken care of small dogs such as bichon and westie, and medium to large dogs such as german shepherd and malamute. My partner who lives with me used to have a German shepherd for 10 years. So you know your dogs will be in good hands no matter they are mini fur babies or big gentle "monsters". I adopted my current dog in 2022. She’s a 8 year-old samoyed and lab mix. She’s spayed. She gets along with dogs, but it’s always safe to let our dogs meet first before booking a stay. When dogs stay at my house, I take them for walks twice a day with my dog. I also have a small fenced back yard. I will brush your dog if requested. Showers can be arranged too upon request. You can rest assured that your dog will have all the attention they need when they're with me. If they have minor behavior problems like chewing shoes or pulling the leash, I use positive reinforcement to correct them. If you have any specific requests, please don't hesitate to chat with me. I speak English and Mandarin.

Michelle did an amazing job with our goldens! She quickly adapted to their needs, and gave them so much love! We so appreciated the many updates with pictures and videos, and we were able to enjoy our weekend away knowing that they were well cared for. Thank you!

We can’t say enough good things about Michelle. Our dog had an amazing stay there and we got lots of pictures, video and communication from Michelle. She was also very flexible and accommodating for us too. We will definitely be using Michelle’s services again!
