Pet care experience

My small dog will love your dog!

We love small dogs and will love having yours over for a playdate or sleepover. We’ve had Albert, a 14-pound rescue from Korea, since 2020. We love going on walks together and meeting other little dogs who want to play!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 14, 2022

Michelle was wonderful. We scheduled a meet and greet prior our first day. Albert and our puppy became instant bff. Throughout the day Michelle would send updates, photos and videos. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely be back.

Michelle was great, friendly, and so communicative! My dog Matzah can be very picky with people but she warmed right up to Michelle and the extra cuddles she gave! Each day during my trip, I got cute pictures and updates. It put my mind at ease and allowed me to really enjoy my time away. I think I’ve found my forever sitter, can’t wait to re-book soon!

Doggy Day Care • Nov 10, 2021

Michelle was awesome! She sent lots of photo updates, and kept us posted about Charlie’s activities throughout the day- walks, bathroom breaks, etc. He had a great time playing with her dog and was always nice and tired coming home at the end of the day after getting good play and exercise. We’d tooootally recommend her and will definitely be trying to book her in the future!

Michelle H is a fun-loving and attentive dog caregiver. Her own dog, Albert, is very sweet, playful, and friendly with dogs of all sizes. While I haven't had Michelle dog sit for me, I know she would be great, as demonstrated by the care she takes when our dogs are playing together.

Michelle, will be a great dog sitter! She is responsible, loving and caring. She cares for my dog Misty as if she is her own. She is a great Dog mom to her own sweet dog Albert as well. I feel confident leaving Misty in her care.

Schedule

I am currently working from home. I walk my own dog 3+ times a day. He gets fed twice a day, and we have plenty of time for playing fetch in the house and belly rubs during the day. Occasionally in the morning or afternoon, we'll take a long walk or drive to Genesee Off-leash area, where there is both a large and small/shy dog area.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure my own dog gets enough walk and exercise each day, and a solid breakfast and dinner each day. He gets treats during training and play time for good behavior. Albert will love meeting your dog. He's into enthusiastic play wrestling and chasing, but he's also just as cool with chilling out and napping on the couch together if your dog is more into that. Either way, Albert will love helping to take care of your dog!

A typical day

We'll start with a brisk walk around the Rainier Vista neighborhood, and then breakfast. Morning is time for napping or light play. We'll go for another longer walk around lunch time. In the afternoon, time-permitting, we can drive or go for a long walk to Genesee Dog Park for off-leash time if your dog is into that. We can stay in the shy/small dog area.
