Certified Fear Free Dog Vacation!
Pet care experience
My husband Eric (who is a Rover sitter as well) and I are certified Fear Free Pet Sitters. We love dogs and will treat yours as our own "kids" while they are in my care. In fact, many families who trust us with their furry family members come back to wonder who really got the luxury vacation (....clearly the dog, of course...). We currently have a 4 yr old Pitt/Coonhound/Boxer Mix dog named Deogee and Pitt/Lab/Boxer puppy named Luna . They love to play with their doggie friends! In addition, I grew up with large dogs - chow/retriever mix, 2 greyhounds, and a Lab/Great Dane mix- and also took care of my family friends' dogs when they needed daycare, boarding, or helping hand in training. I personally trained Denver, my lab/great Dane mix. In our home, we take the Fear Free Mission Statement to heart. We do not use fear based equipment and aim to always minimize your pet's fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS). Fear Free Mission Statement: Our mission is to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets by inspiring and educating the people who care for them.
Reviews
Great stay! My dog loved her time there!
Michelle was absolutely phenomenal! Our dogs were exercised daily, loved on, worked with and
Michelle and her husband spent time with my dog during the initial evaluation to ensure it would be a good fit. They answered all my questions and I left confident my dog would be well taken care of. Michelle kept me informed throughout my dog's stay and the pictures confirmed just how happy and comfortable he was in his new environment.
Another great stay with Michelle for our pup. She has been watching him for two years and we are so thankful to have her. Our dog is happy when we tell him where he’s going, doesn’t look back when he goes in the front door, and comes home exhausted from running and playing with their dogs. If you are looking for someone to take great care of your dog, look no further.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard at my home, and also gates in my home that allow me to control the environment and make it as safe as possible. Most of the time, the dogs are allowed to freely roam and play throughout my home, but if they need to take a break from the other dogs, we have the capability of giving dogs their own space.
Home
Information Michelle G. would like to know about your pet
While I do not have children of my own, there are children who come to my home frequently. I prefer dogs who are good around children.
A typical day
As a runner, I take the dogs out running with me in the morning. We usually go for an evening walk as well. Throughout the day, we play out in the yard and in the house with the multitude of dog toy options we have available (balls, frisbee, squeaky toys, pull toys, and even the doggie pool in summer!)

Availability
I am a freelance musician and music teacher in the public schools, so my availability is very flexible during weekends,summer, and holidays and my work hours are reasonable. We are avid runners and enjoy being outdoors, and will take any dogs who are boarding with us for daily exercise, in addition to spending time playing with them in our spacious backyard. Our daily routine revolves around our dogs. In the morning, we take the dogs outside, then go running. Then, we feed the dogs. We break up the work day by playing with the dogs. In the evening the dogs are fed, then get a walk and some playtime.
