Pet care experience

The 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 • Sep 22, 2026

I just picked my girl up from Michelle. I can tell from both Emmie’s mood and her energy level when I got her what a great week she had with Michelle and her son. I’m beyond grateful given we are just relocating to the area to find someone I can trust with my girl. Thank you for taking such good care of Emmie.

Michelle was great with our dog. He returned to us in a great mood and looked well cared for. And we loved the photos of Cody she sent us.

Michelle was great. Dale was in good hands. Easy to relax on vacation when we knew Dale was happy and well cared for.

Once again, Michelle and her son Alex took great care of Clare, and this time for a 10 day vacation. We’re grateful to the two of them, especially knowing how much fun and relaxed Clare is while visiting and how seamlessly she goes from our house to theirs and back to ours. Thank you, Michelle and Alex!

Schedule

I work from home, so I have the time to care and spoil pets for others in my community. Depending on the type of pet/s, boarding is an option, too.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is part of a large dog friendly residential community. There are many areas to walk a dog/s, and also designated areas for potty breaks.

A typical day

A typical day would ideally mirror what happens at home, as much as possible. Happy to play fetch or other favorite activities - would rely on guidance from each owner.

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.
