Dogs are our better halves!
Pet care experience
Former shelter volunteer, foster mom, vet intern and overall dog lover! Need to get away for the weekend? I have a dog & cat-free home that I'd like to open up for doggie stays. A variety of dog beds will be available for your pup's comfort along with a large, fenced yard. Walks through the neighborhood or at the local preserve are also on the menu. If your friend prefers to have a crate available for security, I have a large (lab-sized) crate. Doggie feeling anxious? My finished lower level is a quiet space that might help ease those fears. Just looking for a day drop-off or a walk? I can do that as well on certain days, mostly weekends and M & W. If you don't see the day you need on my calendar just shoot me a message--I have some flexibility on Fridays. I'll always care for your family member as I would my own or the many fosters I've cared for through the years.
Reviews
Highly recommend Michelle! From the moment I met her I knew that by her calm, easy going and kind demeanor that our dog would be in good hands for the several days he stayed with her. She sent daily updates which were most appreciated. Her spacious, fenced in backyard quickly quelled any safety concerns I had. We very much look forward to using her again! Thank you Michelle and thank you Rover.com!
Michelle is one of the most caring and thoughtful people who have ever been around my dogs! We have 2 large, anxious, and challenging huskies and she knows exactly how to handle them--which is important to us. She is our "go to" when traveling without our fur babies!
Michelle is the first person I call when I need Mr. Wilson, my fur baby, cared for! I highly, highly recommend her. I know that Mr. Wilson would endorse her too!
I have known Michelle for almost two decades. In that time, I have personally entrusted my own dog to Michelle for an extended period of time while my home was in transition. For two years, Michelle cared for and loved my dog, and behaved, as she always does, with the welfare of our beloved pet first in her mind. I have know Michelle to foster dogs, seen her with her own pets, and I can say without equivocation, that there are too few people in the world like Michelle.

Information Michelle K. would like to know about your pet
Every dog is different and knowing their individual quirks or traits is helpful. Is your dog anxious in general or with separation? Does your dog prefer to have a crate to retreat to? How often is your dog use to being let out? Does anything spook your dog?
A typical day
My favorite walking spot is our local nature preserve with 3 miles of trail. If your buddy is cool with a short car ride, we could take in the fresh air on a long walk. Otherwise, my big back yard will surely offer lots of space to roam, run, and sniff. A fun surprise might be my backyard chickens (fully enclosed and protected)!
