Michelle has been our trusted dogsitter for so many years! She was magical with our last dog, a rescue who came to us middle aged and with his own set of quirks :) We now have another pup who happily runs into Michelle's home for human snuggles and play sessions with her dogs. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard and a nice shaded deck to sit on. Doggy daycare and boarding at my house are for dogs who might not do well at a dog park or with aggressive dogs. I do not take Pitbulls, Huskies, German Shephards or any of the “bully breeds”. I have two Shih Tzu’s and my services are to honor my late Shih Tzu, Teya, and we are for dogs who want a home environment.

Pets

A typical day

I manage the dogs who visit us based on their needs. I offer a nice, safe fence yard to play in. If it’s hot out I’ll bring the plastic kiddy pool out. I take one short walk per day for dogs who enjoy this. I don’t go to dog parks as my Shih Tzu’s don’t like it unless the owner requests this.

Please let me know about special needs your dog has. I want to know how they live and what makes them happy. My goal is to have all dogs live their best life.
