Highlights
Pet care experience
ATTENTIVE, CARING & FUN CAREGIVER!
I've been around dogs all my life. As soon as I owned my own home, I bought two bassets! Been a dog owner ever since, until recently when I put my last of four doggies down. I've always been the go to for my friends and relatives, for watching their dogs because my dogs were friendly and I have a great house for it! I decided after saying goodbye to my last pup, instead of get a new dog, I would start watching others! I also love going for walks and will take you pup with! Between myself and my husband, one of us is typically home working during the day, Mon - Fri, so you're pet will seldom be alone!

Ratings and reviews
Great care. Followed my care instructions. I will use them again for sure. And I highly recommend their services.
Michelle and Michael were awesome! They kept me updated every step of the way with a lot of great pictures. It looked like Dug had a great time. Highly recommend!
My puppy looked happy & well cared for!
Michelle and Michael were amazing — true dog lovers through and through! This was my first time ever boarding my dogs or using Rover, so I was a little nervous, but they put me completely at ease. They sent daily photos and videos showing how happy and well cared for my dogs were, which was such a comfort. I could tell my pups were treated like part of their family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!
The Szafoni’s have been wonderful hosts and caregivers for my dog. Whether I’ve needed them to come to my house or watch my dog in their own home. The wife and/or the husband is typically working from home, so my pet is always near someone when she is there. Since one of them is typically home, they are able to let my dog out frequently, in their fenced yard. Michelle enjoys getting out si my dog gets walked too! Your pet will be in great hands! I am very grateful.
I’ve known this family for over 10 yrs!!! Great people. Very compassionate. They have owned numerous animals themselves and are down to two cats now but owned up to four dogs at once in the past! They’ve always been willing to help with care for my animals. Typically, they’ve helped out by coming to me however I know my pet would be in goods hands if I needed boarding assistance. I’ve just preferred to keep my pet in my own own home and they have been very accommodating. They are responsible, polite and follow instructions well!

Schedule
Our typical day, between myself and my husband, one of us is at home every weekday, working remotely. My youngest child just left for college so we are empty nesters plus we just put our last of four dogs down so we are ready for more personality in the house! We do have two cats but already keep then isolated to our upstairs. They will not mingle with your pet unless you are certain your pet would be friendly.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We are very attentive pet owners. We like to keep animals near us and check on them often if they are not. We like to give them ample playtime. In the case of a dog, we have a fenced in yard and we also love to take walks! We also have a doggie door, in the case your dog is medium sized and willing to use them --- they can go in and out all day long!
Pets
A typical day
As mentioned earlier, myself or my husband are home every weekday as we work remotely so your pet will keep us company and provide a great reason for little breaks and walks at lunch time! If they have a favorite toy, bed, blanket etc - bring it along! let me know any other ways they like to play - ie. catching a ball, playing tug of war, playing with squeaky toys. If they get along with other dogs, I'm sure we will run into other dogs on our walks, they can mingle with! Always fun to cuddle too!!! Mentioned elsewhere but worth repeating --- we do own two cats but we already keep them isolated to the upstairs. They will not mingle with your pet unless to know our pet would be friendly.
