Hi, I’m Michelle and I’ll be your pup’s main companion during their stay. Our family loves dogs. We have over 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. From puppies to seniors, we have the experience to keep your pup happy, healthy and safe. We have 2 pups of our own, so caring for dogs is not only a passion, it’s our way of life and we love it. Since I work from home, I’m able to attend to your pup’s every need throughout the day and night helping them feel more secure and at ease. I also have two helpers, my husband (David) and 14 year old son who really enjoy helping out. We work together as a team, so that we can provide the best care for your pup. We like to stick to your pup’s routine. Whether it’s potty times, meal times, play times, relax or snack times, we customize a routine for each dog that stays with us. Our commitment is for you and your pup to have the best experience possible. Keeping your puppy safe is our main priority. Below is a list of what we provide to keep your pup safe and give you the peace of mind knowing that they will be happy and healthy when you pick them up. What we provide: • 30 years of experience • Clean and safe environment • Lots of love and attention • Plenty of potty breaks • Daily communication • And much more… Please contact us today if you have any questions or would like to setup a meet and greet, so you and your pup can meet us and we can meet them!

This was the first time that my wife and I had booked Michelle to look after our two dogs Jack and Delilah. Both of our dogs were extremely well cared for and Michelle kept us updated frequently on how they were doing with messages and photos. We will definately be booking Michelle for all future dog sitting purpose for us - she is amazing and our dogs had a wonderful time!

Michelle is amazing! She provided several updates and photos and was very flexible to our schedule changing. We could see that Scooby also liked her at pick up.

Michelle and her family were fantadtic with Maggie. She sent pictures and Maggie looked like she was having a great time with Michelle’s son. All in all- a great sitter for your fur-baby?

Safety, trust & environment

Since I work from home, your pet will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. I provide regular potty breaks in our fully fenced-in yard, play sessions, and plenty of cuddle time. I stick to your pet’s usual feeding and medication schedule and offer a calm, clean environment with lots of love and attention. I only take a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one gets personalized care.

A typical day

Since I work from home, I’m able to provide a consistent routine that keeps the pups happy, healthy, and well-exercised. We usually start the morning with a potty break and a little playtime in our fenced-in yard. After breakfast, they settle in with me while I work, usually lounging nearby or playing with toys. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to let them outside to stretch their legs, sniff around, and get their energy out. We also squeeze in a midday fun indoor game like tug-of-war or hide-and-seek with treats. I keep fresh water available at all times and make sure they get lots of affection and attention. In the evenings, we have more playtime, dinner, and a final trip outside before winding down for the night. I find that this mix of structure, play, and downtime keeps them relaxed and content, and it’s a great balance for me too.

Before caring for any pup, I like to learn as much as possible about their personality, routine, and specific needs. It’s helpful to know things like: -Feeding schedule and dietary restrictions -Bathroom habits and any signals they use -How they do on leash or with other dogs -Favorite toys, games, or comfort items -Any fears or triggers (like thunderstorms or loud noises) -Medical needs or medications -House rules they're used to (furniture, crate time, etc.) Understanding their routine and preferences helps me provide the most comfortable, safe, and stress-free experience possible for both the pup and their person!
