Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in yard and large deck for doggy sunbathing. My dog loves having canine guests and doesn't mind sharing me, his bed, toys, or food. I also have a teenage daughter who absolutely loves having more dogs around. I have lots of extra blankets and allow dogs on the furniture and beds. Everything is washed regularly. Paws are always wiped on muddy yard days. If your dog prefers sleeping in a crate or having a crate for alone time, that is perfectly fine, too.

Information Michelle F. would like to know about your pet

If your dog requires any special attention while here, please let me know. I like to provide the most comfortable situation possible for dogs and their owners.

A typical day

I don't walk the dogs when they are here but they have plenty of outdoor time. I love playing fetch with them in the backyard or providing mental stimulation like hiding treats in sniff mats or around the room for them to find.

Pet care experience

I love taking care of dogs. I have my own dog who is very friendly and loves to play but also loves to be lazy. I've watched dogs for friends and family members for years and always enjoy it so I decided to open my home to more frequent furry guests. All dogs are treated like my own and get lots of love and attention (or space, if that's what they prefer). I'm happy to administer medications or accommodate individual needs.

We’re so grateful for the care our pups Alfie and Boba received! . Communication was great throughout, and it was such a relief knowing they were in kind and good hands.
