Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dogs home away from home!
I’ve always loved dogs and grew up having them as part of my life. Five years ago, I welcomed my first family dog, and he has brought me so much joy! I’m an active person who loves spending time outdoors and taking multiple walks around my neighborhood every day. I genuinely enjoy caring for dogs and have loved watching friends’ and family members’ dogs over the years. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I would love the opportunity to welcome your dog into my home and give them plenty of love, attention, walks, and companionship! 🐾❤️
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We honestly couldn’t recommend Michelle more highly. She’s cared for our dog, Oakley (Boxer mix), on several occasions, and every experience has been exceptional. What stands out most is the genuine love, patience, and understanding they show him. It’s very clear that this is much more than simply “dog sitting” to her, they truly care about the dogs entrusted to them and treat them as if they were their own. Whenever we’re away, they keep us connected with thoughtful updates and pictures of Oakley happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoying himself. That peace of mind is incredibly valuable when you’re leaving a member of your family in someone else’s care. We’ve had different dog-sitting experiences over the years, and without question, this has been the best. Oakley is happy to see them, (sometimes doesn’t want to leave..) and we know he’s been in wonderful hands, and we never have to worry about the quality of care he’s receiving. If you’re looking for people you can genuinely trust with your dog who are caring, attentive, reliable, and who will treat them like family - we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Schedule
I work full-time from home, which allows me to be home with the dogs and provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. My regular routine includes a walk around the noon hour, and I always head out for another walk in the evening. I love having a dog-friendly routine and would be happy to include your pup in my daily walks and activities! 🐾

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fully fenced-in backyard and even have a doggy door, so the pups can safely go in and out as they please. (We don’t use the doggy door during the winter.) We love giving dogs the freedom to enjoy the backyard while still having a safe, comfortable space to relax indoors. 🐾❤️

A typical day
A typical day will include a lunchtime walk around our neighborhood or a trail walk through the wooded area near our home. We’ll always head out for another walk in the early evening as well. Throughout the day, we’ll also enjoy some playtime and fetch in our fully fenced-in backyard a couple of times.
