Safety, trust & environment

There is a fully fenced, large backyard for free running and playing. Currently there are no pets in our house. Previously, we did have a dog for 12+ years. We would love the opportunity to love on your furbaby! I will require a meet and greet for safety purposes to make sure a good fit for all and good with kids. I will ask for proof of up to date vaccines and flea preventative. I will only be boarding 1 family/household at a time. Preferably will avoid crossover bookings as well. Your dog will be treated like a family member, so share likes/dislikes, okay for treats, okay on furniture, crating, etc. Share a normal daily routine and I can try to keep as close to their normal day for an easier transition. Open to any and all info on your furbaby to give a safe and loving experience!

Pet care experience

I grew up with several pets, including dogs, ever since I was little! We have had several different breeds over the years. Our most recent was a Corgi mix we rescued and loved on for over 12 years into his senior years 🩵 I truly love dogs and the companion and love they share, especially the snuggly ones!

Michelle & her family were great! We felt so comfortable leaving our little Kashi with them. Kashi’s tiny & a bit older, and knew she would love to cozy up with them and she did. Thanks for your you so much! We’d definitely recommend Michelle to anyone needing a sitter.

Michelle and her family are awesome! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Charlie. He came home so happy and relaxed. She has such a kind, gentle way with dogs, and her communication was fantastic—frequent updates and super prompt responses the whole time. We will absolutely look to her for future pet care and will gladly recommend her to everyone we know!

My dog LOVED staying with Michelle. He got to do all his favorite things - running around outside, lay in the sun, play with the kids, snuggle on the couch. He had so much fun and I can tell he was well taken care of. Michelle sent detailed updates and photos each day which was very reassuring. I will definitely board with her again!

Michelle was AMAZING with my dog. My dog is a special needs dog. (He can't do stairs, has anxiety accidents, needs medication, etc.) I so rarely leave my dog with anyone else because of this. But Michelle didn't make any of his needs feel like a burden. Her and her family were so warm toward him and very attentive to his idiosyncrasies. He got along with the kids, who were sensitive to his need to warm up to people. He ran around the house and was so happy to be there with the family. Michelle sent updates multiple times a day with pictures/videos and a report on how he was doing: if he went to the bathroom, what he ate, and what his mood was like. I will be booking with her again and will very easily recommend!
