Doggy Day Care • May 08, 2026

We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful pet sitter. She and her family take such great care of our girl, and we always feel completely confident that she is not only well cared for, but truly loved while we’re away. Communication is always excellent, with updates and photos that give us peace of mind. Best of all, Penny absolutely loves going to their house! We couldn’t ask for a better experience and highly recommend her.

Michelle was amazing for our dog! This was his first stay away from us and to say we were nervous is an understatement. Michelle made sure Maverick was loved the whole time and made sure to update me with plenty of pics and videos. They really made Maverick apart of their family for the week! We couldn’t be more grateful and will definitely book again!

Our experience with this wonderful family was just that, wonderful! The entire family helped care for Bailey just like she was their own. Lots of snuggles, love & attentive care. Our family had just lost our dear Betsy (our older blue heeler). We had to let her go in January of this year due to illness & age. It was very clear that Bailey was missing her. So when she met some new friends like these great people, she was in heaven. Along with variety of 4 legged friends. We received lots of updates and pics on our vacation and that really put our minds at ease. I don’t think Bailey wanted to leave when we came to pick her up!😁 We feel blessed to have found this family and will definitely be booking again! Thank you ♥️

Michelle and Matthew took such great care of our dogs while we were gone! Treating them just like they would their own! They were pampered with blankets and pillows, and tons of love!

Schedule

Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine. We’re early risers with our kids, so mornings start with playtime and snuggles. I work from home, which means your pup is rarely alone (if at all) and always surrounded by company and care. My family is also home most weekends, giving us even more time for walks, cuddles, and outdoor fun. In our cozy family home, your dog will feel safe, loved, and right at home.

Safety, trust & environment

I take every step to make sure pets in my care feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Our home is fully dog-friendly, and we’re always present to supervise playtime and rest. I keep routines consistent to help dogs feel secure, and I’m experienced in caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs who may need a little extra attention. Cozy spaces, plenty of outdoor time, and lots of gentle affection make our home a trusted place for pups to relax and feel at ease.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and happy! Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, playtime in the backyard, or a good round of fetch, your pet will get plenty of attention and exercise. We also enjoy cozy downtime with snuggles on the couch, belly rubs, or just relaxing together. Every pet gets treated like part of our family!

Before your pet’s stay, it’s helpful to know their daily routine, meal times, and potty schedule, as well as how they do around new people, other dogs, and kids. We also like to know about any allergies, medications, or special needs so we can keep them safe and comfortable. If your pet has certain rules at home, favorite toys, or a few things that make them nervous (like loud noises or vacuums), please share those too — it helps us make their time here feel just like home with plenty of love, care, and family fun.
