Pet care experience

The Best Best “HairBnB”

I grew up with all types of dog breeds, from pure breeds to rescues. I have always had dogs in my home. I recently relocated with my teenage son. We miss having pets, so until we can rescue our own animals again, we want to enjoy helping to care for our community pets. My son wants to be a vet…and a basketball player. 😊

Doggy Day Care • Jun 12, 2026

Michelle is amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and felt safe during the meet and greet and first full visit. He came home happy tuckered out after a great day. Would definitely recommend!

All went well with Buttercup’s stay with Michelle while we were away for 5 days, and Buttercup came home contented and well cared for. Michelle even made the extra effort to drive up some dog toys to is that gor left behind at her place the next day. Buttercup was beyond thrilled to see her show up at her house which tells me that she was well cared for. We would definitely use Michelle again!

Michelle took great care of our high maintenance English bulldog while we were away for a week! Due to his breed, he requires quite a bit of extra attention and Michelle went above and beyond!

Michelle was fantastic! We were away for two weeks and felt completely at ease the whole time. She sent regular photo updates, responded quickly whenever we reached out, and when our plans changed and we were able to pick up Pogie a day early, she was totally flexible and accommodating. She even got him toys to play with, and we're pretty sure she gave him a bath too — he came home smelling beautiful (no small feat for a wire-haired dog who always looks adorably scruffy regardless!). Most importantly, Pogie came home happy and relaxed — always the best sign. We'd book with Michelle again without hesitation and highly recommend her!

Michelle was great! She took great care of Sully while we were away. I could tell Sully felt right at home.

Open communication is key to planning a great stay for your pet. I will do my best to accommodate a dog’s individual needs, but will be honest if I am not confident that I can.
