Pet care experience

Your dog’s home away from home. ♥️

I’ve had pets my whole life - big dogs, small dogs, and cats. I have a soft spot for big dogs, but will treat your littles the same! I worked at a vet clinic for 7 years while I went to college and remained even after I graduated. I am confident in my abilities to care for your furry family members and have the resources for care should a concern arise. Currently, I have two dogs and two cats. One of my dogs would absolutely love a friend to play with! The other one is sweet, but she prefers to watch your dog from the sidelines rather than be apart of the action.

Michelle did an excellent job caring for our dog, Bailey. From the start, she was responsible, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. Bailey was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time we were away, which gave us great peace of mind. Michelle kept us updated and made sure all of Bailey’s needs were met, going above and beyond to ensure she felt safe and loved. It’s clear that she truly cares about the animals she looks after. We would confidently recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.

Michelle was amazing! She took great care of Caya. Michelle sent lots of pictures and updates. She let us make a pre-visit. Communication was awesome! We will be using Michelle again!

Michelle's family is a blessing! My pets were treated like family and loved their stay, and Michelle sent pictures and let me know how they were doing. My dogs loved all the attention, thank you!

Michelle was great! She was able to watch our dog with very short notice and then took care of him like he was family. If I’m ever in the area again, I’ll absolutely have her take care of our dog again.

Finley's stay with Michelle was wonderful! She had the best time playing with Michelle's dog! Michelle sent photos and updates and was more than accommodating to any of our requests. We'll be booking with her again in the future!

Michelle and her family are such a blessing for us. It’s so nice to know our fur babies will not only be well treated but will enjoy their time with her family. Thank you Michelle!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard with access to shade and water. I have two dogs, a Labrador and a Cavachon. Both get along well with other dogs, although my Labrador is the more playful of the two. I have two cats as well, but they enjoy the outdoors so are not typically inside during the day. In the event they are, they do get along well with dogs.

Pets

A typical day

I have a fenced backyard with lots of room to run. My Labrador would love a friend to play with. I can also provide a couple of walks each day.

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has anything he/she doesn’t like. I would prefer to only take dogs who are acclimated to young children and play well with other dogs.
