Pet care experience
Update 1/17/24: I do work from home now! So very excited to be readily available for all of your pets needs during the day and night. I also now offer doggy daycare in my home. Update 7/11/23: At this time I cannot do pick up or drop off. We aren’t able to accommodate pups that haven’t mastered potty training. Update 6/20/23: My goal is to keep my rates reasonable, as dog care and sitting is a passion and true love of mine. Ensuring your pets’ safety and wellbeing while you are unavailable should not cost outrageous fees. I have many years of experience on and off Rover, but due to a technical issue with Rover, I had to make a new page and lost my past reviews. I do hope you’ll book with me and help me get those re-established! I’ve had dogs in my house since I was a baby. I grew up with German Shepherds and shih tzus. In 2013 I started fostering dogs for a non profit no kill shelter and truly found my passion. I fostered 33 dogs before I finally foster failed myself! Fostering taught me how to care for dogs on medication, post surgical dogs, shy and fearful types, as well as senior citizens and special needs dogs. Most of my foster favorites were special needs including blind dogs and amputee dogs. I have experience with puppies of all ages and breeds. No breed preferences here. If you have a dog bigger than 50lbs I do require a meet and greet with my 2 gals to be sure everyone will be happy and healthy throughout their stay. My furniture is your dogs furniture and my bed is their bed if that’s what they are used to! I welcome regular/ongoing clients. I have a fenced in yard for playtime and my neighborhood is very dog walking friendly. When we go out for potty breaks or playtime I am always outside so your dog is not alone or unsupervised. If your dog has any items that they love, like a toy or blanket, please do bring it with you. I do like when folks leave written instructions with feeding times and amounts, or any medication schedules. That helps me ensure your pets stay is the best it can be.
Reviews
Michelle is incredible!! She sent us some great pictures and even video of our boy while he was with her and gave us updated throughout. He was such a happy guy when we picked him up and we look forward to using Michelle’s services again in the future! Thanks so much!!
Michelle M. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Michelle was very attentive and caring. She made sure to send pictures and I felt very comfortable leaving him there. We will use her again.
Michelle was a quick communicator and flexible with dropoff/pickup. Our girls had a wonderful weekend and we received several pictures and updates throughout!
