Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH • Fenced Yard • All-Day Care
I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have 15+ years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have experience with boarding and doggy daycare through Rover, as well as caring for pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, feeding routines, medications, and different activity levels. I work from home, so dogs in my care get plenty of attention throughout the day, along with access to our fully fenced backyard for potty breaks and playtime. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and at home while you’re away!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I had a very happy pup upon return. Michelle was great, she took good care of my doggy.
Michelle is so great, my dogs had the BEST time! Very caring and such a great home, so thankful I found her. Highly recommend!!
This was MJs first time with Michelle and she didn’t have too many reviews yet, but we are so happy we booked her. She was very communicative and checked in with us and sent a photo of MJ every day, which we really appreciated! MJ seemed very comfortable there. We would definitely use her services again.
I'm always nervous about leaving my dog with someone he doesn't know, but I had no choice this trip. I found Michelle on Rover and she was only 3 miles from my house, but how would my dog Dusty fare with her? Well, I was nervous for no reason: Michelle and her family were fabulous, took great care of Dusty, sent update photos, and went over and above to help him eat (he doesn't eat much when he's not with our family). Michelle and her family treated Dusty like a member of their family and I will definitely book her the next time I have to travel without Dusty. I can't recommend her enough!
Here’s a warm, five-star review you can leave for Hank’s boarding: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Michelle took wonderful care of Hank while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Hank came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. Michelle was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. We truly appreciate the excellent care she provided and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommended!
Michelle was so professional and went above and beyond while checking in on my kitties. She was responsive and kept me in the loop when dropping. I appreciated her communication throughout my tip and enjoyed seeing the photos she sent. I highly recommend Michelle for any services you may need and will be using her for any future pet needs!

Schedule
I work from home Monday–Friday and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-ins during the week, with weekend availability as well. Because I’m home most of the day, I can easily accommodate frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and your pet’s usual routine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for supervised play and potty breaks. Pets are welcomed into our home and treated like part of the family! I also have a friendly small dog who enjoys having new friends around. We live in a gated community with quiet streets, walking paths, parks, and a lake nearby, giving us lots of great options for safe walks and outdoor time.
Pets
A typical day
I like to keep each pet’s day as close to their normal routine as possible. Since I work from home, they’ll have plenty of company throughout the day, along with regular potty breaks, backyard time, playtime, and lots of attention. We also have parks and walking paths around a lake nearby for daily walks. I’m happy to adjust activity levels based on your pet—whether they love long walks and playtime or would rather relax, cuddle, and nap nearby while I work.
