Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your pets as if they were my own. Their wellbeing will be my upmost priority, and will seek to follow instructions as given. If we are doing boarding at our home, i will make sure they are treated with love and respect, and walked daily.

Information Michelle K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet had any special requirements, needs to be fed or given any special medication ahead of time. If they have any behavioral concerns that’s good information to know as well!

A typical day

We will go on walks in the neighborhood, where there are many walking trails if I am boarding your pup. If I am caring for your pup at your home, we will play with toys of they have any, go for walks, and I will make sure they will have lots of pets!

Pets

Dogs are my passion!

Pet care experience

I am a lifelong dog and animal lover and am also a mom to a three year old son. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have also at least 6 plus years experience working for an animal rescue group in many different capacities, so I’ve seen and worked with all types of dogs. I currently have two pups at home, a chorkie and a female pitbull. I also l have experience with special needs dogs and senior dogs too. I am very familiar with giving oral medications and injections as well. I will love your dogs as if they were my own! I am also a runner, and can also offer to run with your dog, for the hyperactive dogs who need to get their energy out! My schedule can vary now as i do work full time, but someone is always home at my house wither myself or my husband for boarding stays. We also have a townhouse sized fenced backyard for your pup! Send me a message and we can see if our schedules work! A portion of my profits also go to Lost Dog and and Cat Rescue, from which I have fostered and or adopted 3 dogs.

Michelle responded quickly and was able to help us out on a holiday with short notice. She took great care of our dogs and sent lots of pictures. We highly recommend Michelle.

Michelle was awesome! This was my first time using the app and she made me feel comfortable and confident to start my new job without worrying and stressing about leaving my dog at home. Very though

Michelle was great with my dog. Teddy is very timid and he felt comfortable enough to play fetch and actually eat a full bowl of food. She sent updates throughout the day. He went for a walk and played in the fenced in backyard. I will definitely use her again when in the area.
