Information MICHELLE F. would like to know about your pet

I like to find out what will make your dog feel happy and comfortable in my home. Does he like to play ball or have favorite toys? When does she eat and how much? Where does he like to sleep? Does your dog like to be walked or run around in the backyard, or both? Does he or she get along with other dogs? Does he have any conditions or habits I need to be aware of or any medications I need to administer? Does your dog like treats and is he/she allowed to eat people food? How about going on your furniture and bed--is that permited in your home? Is your dog active or lazy? I want my dog guests to feel at home and part of the family while they are here with us.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We live in a quiet, suburban neighborhood so we walk our dog guests and Snoopy in that area. We have very friendly neighbors who usually give us a smile when we walk by and stop to pet the pups and say "hello". Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever he or she prefers! Time I'll spend with your dog We have a full house of dog lovers so while we all have every day activites there is someone at home at least 90% of the day to ensure your dog is getting the attention he or she deserves

Pet care experience

We look forward to the opportunity to make new friends and welcome back our cherished repeat guests. NOW HOME FULL TIME AND AVAILABLE FOR DAY CARE ARE YOU RETURNING TO WORK AND NEED SOMEONE TO WATCH YOUR PUP DURING THE DAY OR ARE YOU WORKING FROM HOME AND NEED SOMEONE TO ENTERTAIN YOUR BEST FRIEND WHILE YOU ARE BUSY? Warm loving family will treat your best friend like one of the family. A full house of dog lovers ensures your pet will get lots of hugs, tummy rubs, and attention. Our resident pups Snoopy and Yakov love to make new friends and are always happy to help make our guests feel comfortable and at home! Your pup will not be confined to one area of the house and we have a large fully fenced in back yard to run around in. It's your best friends' home away from home! We pick up and deliver upon request and can accommodate last minute situations. Are you planning a special event such as a wedding? We can dress your fur baby in an outfit you provide and then bring them to take pictures with you , or stay with them during the ceremony to make sure they behave, and then take them home with us and take care of them so you can enjoy your honeymoon, secure in the knowledge that your pup is being well cared for and loved. So don't worry. Book your vacation or business trip with confidence knowing that your loved one will be happy, comfortable and safe with us! Why I love dog sitting I got my love of dogs from my dad. He grew up with a dog named Chubby. When I was eight I got my first dog, Penny, a Boston Terrier. Penny was my consolation for having to wear braces. My dad took me out of school early one day to pick her out of a litter of pups and It was love at first sight. I have owned and cared for dogs ever since. About my yard The yard is completely fenced in and spacious. Accessible through the back door. The living room window looks out into the back yard so dogs that like to chase squirrels can sit on top of the couch and watch for squirrels to chase! My experience administering medication Yes, oral medication

Michelle has watched Brindle for us several times now and we are very pleased and satisfied with her care of him. We receive regular updates and pictures from her telling us how he’s doing. He is well cared for and we feel very comfortable leaving him with her, which is very relieving and allows us to travel stress free!

Michelle was in touch often, both before and during Roxie’s stay. She sent photos of Roxie, which we appreciated. Michelle and her husband provided a nurturing environment and helped Roxie adjust and get comfortable in her new surroundings. We’re very pleased with Roxie’s experience and plan to use Michelle again.

Michelle was a wonderful friend to our older dog. She has older dogs as well, and really understands their needs. She is practiced with medications, and her own dogs are calm and friendly. Our dog became comfortable immediately and really enjoyed his time with Michelle.
