Availability

I work from home so I am available to care for your precious pup all day. I stay active by walking usually around 3x per day with my dog. I take frequent breaks to play fetch or practice tricks to keep their minds sharp. Let me know if you are practicing any commands or tricks with your pup so I can integrate that into our routine!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in yard for frequent potty breaks and also have a basic agility course set up for my high energy dog. My partner also works from home and will be available to help care for your pup. We usually go on walks together so that we can give each dog as much attention and time to check the neighborhood pee-mail. Your dog will never be left alone unsupervised, so please bring a crate to ensure your dog’s safety while I’m outside the house.

Information Michelle H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any allergies, special needs or behavioral quirks that I need to watch out for. I will be extra mindful of these things during your dog’s stay.

A typical day

I love to go on long walks with the dogs and play in my back yard. We will play games like fetch and/or snuggle on the couch, whatever your dog likes to do.

Pet care experience

On top of being a dog mom myself, I have watched my friends and neighbors' dogs from a couple of days up to 3 months at a time. I love all animals- but especially dogs, and I am experienced with handling a wide array of sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I am also very cautious about heat exhaustion and the level of care dogs need when being handled outside. I only board dog(s) from one household at a time to ensure the best quality care.

Michelle was absolutely amazing! I felt very comfortable with her and knew right away that Meadow was in good hands. She sent me daily updates about Meadow and how well she was getting along with Angus, Michelle’s pup. From just seeing the photos that she sent over, I could tell Meadow was safe, having a great time, and being very well cared for by Michelle. I am so grateful that Meadow was able to be in her care during our time away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their pup, and hopefully we get the opportunity to rebook with Michelle in the future!

Michelle agreed to watch Fozzie last minute. She was helpful, attentive, & Fozzie seemed to have loved the visit. Thank you Michelle

Michelle was wonderful! My dog was welcomed by her pup and he went at my dog’s pace for interactions and hanging out. We’ll be back!
