I work from home, so your dog will always have the ability to go on walks, take potty breaks, and receive plenty of attention from me. I make it a priority to accommodate their needs and to ensure the best possible experience for your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a dog-friendly elevator apartment building. Dogs with mobility issues may use a ramp to enter. In addition, I have a dog stroller that I use for pups with mobility issues - I love finding ways to make sure they get access to as much outdoor time as possible!

Information Michelle F. would like to know about your pet

Before booking, I ask that owners complete a brief intake form so that I can make sure to tailor the dogs stay according to their needs. *Please Note- I am not able to take care of dogs with a biting history. Additional fees apply for dogs requiring constant care, and drop offs/pick ups before 8am/after 8pm, and dogs larger than 40lbs.

A typical day

Your dog will never be bored, that’s for sure! I love to have dance parties with them and take plenty of live action photos and videos to share with you. Over the years, with owner permission, I’ve taken them to the beach, out to picnics and to outdoor dining spots in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Pet care experience

My priority is to make every stay feel like a vacation for your dog- so you feel confident knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved while you're away. It all began over 20 years ago when my family got a golden retriever. Since then, dogs have had a special place in my heart. Over the years, I’ve volunteered as a dog walker for senior citizens and now offer dog sitting and boarding from my home. I have experience caring for: • Senior dogs • Dogs who are blind, deaf, or have complex health conditions • Administering oral medications I work from home, which means your dog will never be left alone for long. I keep their schedule consistent- walks, meals, naps, and play- and provide regular photo/video updates so you stay connected. Walks include neighborhood strolls, trips to Prospect or Fort Greene Parks (always leashed), and occasional visits to enclosed dog runs. I also have access to a private, fenced yard where dogs can enjoy fresh air safely. Dogs in my care get tons of attention, exercise, and affection. I specialize in doodles and other hypoallergenic breeds. Let me know what your pup needs. I’d love to welcome them into a calm, loving home.

Michelle is lovely. Easy to communicate with, punctual and gave my pup so much love and attention. She allowed my lickalicious dog to climb into her lap and give her endless kisses. I appreciated the last minute booking acceptance to make my day trip dreams come true, and the crystal clear communication about timing and pup activities. Her dog was sweet and loving and I totally trust Michelle and would love to work with her again.

Michelle took great care of Indy! She sent lots of photos and updates, and was great to communicate with. Super happy with our doggy daycare experience, and will be back soon!
