Michelle watched our 4-year old rambunctious Husky at our home and all was great. Michelle was a fantastic communicator and super flexible. Our pup was happy and well taken care of. We’ll definitely have her over again (if she’ll have us :)

We were visiting Santa Barbara for a graduation. We found out at the last minute that our family member had a cat which couldn’t tolerate a dog being around. Michelle was able to watch Millie while we attended a party and the graduation. We appreciate Michelle being available and taking good care of Millie for us!

Safety, trust & environment

I can be flexible about care in my home or yours. I do have an 11 year old miniature poodle, but she's very well-behaved and content in her crate if there ever needs to be separation between dogs or between her and a cat. We live quite close to city parks and would spend plenty of time outdoors, but dogs or cats are welcome to snuggle with me while type away.

Information Michelle G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog had any food, behavioral, or medical needs that I should be aware of and please be clear about how best to serve your dog in those areas. I don't have an breed preferences or exclusions, though I would like to know the breed ahead of time so I can do my research. As a woman who grew up in a military family, I'm very comfortable around large dogs, from German Shepherds to Labradors to Pit Bulls. They can always tell I'm not afraid of them, so we get along well. I love small dogs too, as you can tell from my miniature poodle.

A typical day

Dogs who stay with me well experience good mix of walks, play time, appropriate treats, and rest. Walks will depend on weather and owner permission, but my neighborhood, the Sunken Gardens, parks near Kid's World, and dog friendly beaches are all places I routinely take my own dog and I'd be happy for yours to join us.
