Boarding • Jun 04, 2026

Michelle and Stewie were the perfect match for my lil doggo. My dog Fiona is a little shy and awkward around new people. Michelle was great with giving fiona the right amount of attention and space so she could get comfortable. Her dog Stewie, on the other hand, seemed to get fiona right away made clear that they were going to be friends. According to the regular updates we received, Fiona was making herself at home and chillin' with her vacation pack without a thought for us (which is AMAZING for our sweet little rescue). Michelle also does day care in addition to boarding, so Fiona got some extra socialization with other four legged friends and had a blast! The videos and photos of Fiona, Stewie, and friends on walks or playing gave us a ton of joy and peace of mind that Fiona was in good hands. My wife and I are thankful we met Michelle and Stewie. They're definitely our first call the next time we need a dog sitter.

Michelle is awesome. I had a very happy and a very tired dog when I picked him up. He played with friends and had a great time. I highly recommend Michelle.

Michelle was very accommodating with the last minute booking. She gave some helpful pointers and recommendations as Titan is young, energetic and still getting adjusted to being around new dogs. She took great care of Titan and I would certainly book with her again!

Michelle is a trustworthy and knowledgeable person and Olive loves spending the day in her home! Michelle is very communicative, Debra videos and pictures and leaves messages with helpful tips on raising a puppy. We will continue to take Olive to Michelle's and I recommend others do the same!

Michelle was wonderful with my new 4 month old puppy, provided a great space for him to be comfortable as well as supportive with his training. Would definitely recommend!
