Loving & Safe Dog Care in our home

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Michelle. I'm originally from South Carolina where I owned a small farm and raised every imaginable animal at one time or another. I have over 40 years of experience with dogs, as both a dog owner and former trainer for our local shelter. I am patient, attentive and loving with all breeds and sizes. We have a lovely, safe home in Discovery Harbour, near South Point on the Big Island of Hawaii with a fenced in yard and lots of room to play. We have no children, and our dog Nani, a French Bulldog, LOVES all other dogs. She is absolutely wonderful with all sizes and has never had a bad episode with any breed. She's very well socialized and loves to play. I can handle medical needs for your dog if needed. Puppies are no problem. We have the facilities to keep a little one safe and happy in a kennel in our living room with us if your dog needs a private space when visiting. Both my husband and I are retired and home all day, so your loved one will be watched at all times. If you have questions, ask! I love to meet new people. Aloha! Mahalo for stopping by our profile!

Michelle & Wayne - Thank you for the love and attention you gave to Festa during her stay. She is 14 years old, and this was 1st time I left her with someone other than family due to our moving to the beautiful Island of Hawaii. You can always count on the two of them to love and care for your pets. Thank you.

Information Michelle H. would like to know about your pet

My only concerns are things that might make your baby more comfortable. Are they shy? Do they prefer to eat alone? How about sleeping? Sofa, floor or up on our bed with Nani? Do you have any knowledge of allergies? How about treats? Anything you can share that will make your dogs stay more enjoyable is wonderful.

A typical day

We have a large golf course area nearby where dogs are welcome. We walk Nani there often. Your dog is welcome to come along and he/she will be on leash and well monitored.
