Stay@home 🐶 mom, no kids

Pet care experience

I have 25+ years of pet care experience loving on my own pets, and caring for family and friends’ dogs and cats. I offer dog and cat drop ins, and dog walks, daycare and boarding. I have on base/post access and can provide care for military family pets too. When you book with me, I provide attentive care and play drop ins for your dog and/or cat at your house. I will also take your dog for walks. I enjoy hiking so I have no issues walking your dog for as long as they need. I also provide boarding and doggie daycare at my house with a fenced in yard. There are no children and the house is quiet, which some dogs need or prefer. When your dog does boarding or daycare with me, they are my exclusive clients for the duration of their stay. I am able to be home all day and night with your dog. I live in a quiet residential neighborhood with well maintained sidewalks for easy walking. There are two great neighborhood parks within 5-10 minutes walk. I love cats but I don’t have one of my own. I have done many holiday/vacation drop ins for cat owners over the last 10+ years. I do daily food, water bowl and litter box cleanings. I monitor automatic feeders and refill food and water bowls daily. I will provide play enrichment to the level your cat prefers. Even if your cat prefers no interaction, I will sit and talk to them or read them a book. Please don’t hesitate to book me for your cat’s needs too.

Michelle was wonderful and great to communicate with. We so appreciate her keeping Dakota for the day so we could go to the zoo and sightsee. Dakota had a great day! Thank you for being such a caring Rover!

Michelle is absolutely the best with dogs. I have been taking my black lab Ruger to Michelle for seven years. He is completely in love with Michelle. She watched him while I was over seas, dog sat with him numerous times. Ruger is always excited to see Michelle, and even doesn’t want to leave he loves her so much. Seriously Michelle is the best with dogs! If it were up to me no one else would ever be an option to watch my Dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I used to work in aviation safety compliance and am very safety minded. My dog is up to date with all of his recommended shots for Colorado, to include bordetella and canine flu. I am familiar with administering daily medications for senior dogs. I use AirTag(s) for dog walking. My plants are pet friendly and/or hanging out of reach. For drop ins and walks, I always do a quick security check of the windows and exit doors before I leave to ensure that your pets are safe and secure.

Information Michelle H. would like to know about your pet

I will ask for diet, exercise and medication requirements, and emergency contact and veterinary care information. Please let me know if there is any safety information I should know about, such as a history of aggression or biting, and any likes/dislikes so we can tailor a perfect day for your dog.

A typical day

I live in a very walkable quiet residential neighborhood with well maintained sidewalks and two great parks nearby. Your dog can expect a minimum of 2-3 walks/day when they stay with me. Dogs are allowed free rein of my house, to include the enclosed porch and fenced in yard. I will play with your dogs and I have an abundance of chew and squeaky toys for them to play with.

I stay home with my dog throughout the week and have no competing responsibilities. My schedule is open from 8-6, but we can always discuss pet care needs outside of those times. I can also travel to pick up and drop off for boarding and daycare if your schedule requires that.
