Michelle took excellent care of my Golden Retriever, Joy. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. Michelle’s two kids gave Joy lots of attention and kept her active and entertained throughout her stay. As an added bonus, her neighbor even brought over another Golden Retriever for playtime—Golden Retriever family reunions are always a blast! I also really appreciated that Michelle never complained about preparing Joy’s raw food diet, which isn’t something every sitter is willing to handle. As a funny note, I honestly started to think Joy was going to stay with Michelle forever because she looked so happy and comfortable there! I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Joy with Michelle again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and loving dog sitter.

Michelle is so lovely - very communicative, kind, and accommodating! My dog loved their giant yard and all the snuggles he got. We will definitely be back!

Michelle showed incredible care and love for my dog. I loved getting multiple updates per day and my dog clearly loved her yard and her family. I am super grateful my pup has a safe and happy place to stay while we are out of town.

Michelle was an incredible sitter for our Sophie - kind, caring, great communicator. We had a great vacation knowing our doggie was in good hands and the pics Michelle sent were adorable. Next time Sophie can't travel with us we will absolutely give Michelle call!

My dog Elvie had the best time with Michelle! Michelle sent me photos and updates for the duration of her stay. Elvie came back exhausted from loving being with Michelle’s family and fenced in yard. Elvie and I will both be excited for her to stay with Michelle again!
