Pet care experience

Your furbaby’s newest vacation spot

Coming from an animal loving family, I have cared for dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, hermit crabs, bearded dragons and fish. I have fostered and cared for animals for over 15 years, ranging from puppy litters to senior dogs. I have the space and time to dedicate, providing your dog with an enjoyable and active experience while you are away. There is a huge backyard for your dog to explore, toys for all sizes, small dog pool, and an agility weaver to teach your dog some new tricks!

Michelle and her family were great with our Edie. She sent lots of pictures and videos to show how she was getting along with the other dogs.

CoCo really enjoyed her time with Michelle and her family. We received updates throughout the day, and our puppy was happy and all out of wiggles by the end. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of her!

Michelle (& her family) was AMAZING!! She sent pictures and videos so often I felt like I was there! She treated my dog as though she was her own. My dog got personal walks as well which I wasn’t even expecting but loved so so much. Such a huge comfort and she was so accommodating with my changing schedule. They exceeded my expectations & I would 1000% bring my dog back without hesitation. I recommend any and everyone to go to her!

We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Blade! 🐶 From the moment we met, it was clear he would be in loving, caring hands. He was so well taken care of, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being treated like family. We could tell he received plenty of love, attention, and care while we were away. We'll absolutely be booking again.

Schedule

I work mostly M-F but have federal holidays off and flexible weekends which allows me to provide care for your furbaby. In the event I do need to step out for an appointment or to drop off/pick up the kids from school, the fully fenced in yard provides adequate shade and space for your pup to sunbathe or run around. I also have multiple kennels inside we can setup if your dog is crate trained and you prefer them to stay inside during short absences. The large backyard ensures your doggy can get all their zoomies out with an abundance of toys. I favor spending weekends home unless it’s flag football season and I’m out for a couple hours on a Sunday.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in yard to provide a secure roaming and play area for your furbabys. The fence is 6ft tall around the yard, except for about 15 feet of chain link in one corner and at the entrance gate. I have a continuous recording camera on the back and front yard for extra security to ensure your pets safety. I also have indoor space in the laundry room to safely separate dogs if necessary, providing a comfortable environment for all temperaments. The neighborhood is fairly quiet and has a walking trail accessible for a stroll into the wooded park.

Pets

A typical day

I’d love to let your pup take advantage of the spacious yard and doggy pool we have out back. I have toys for all sizes of dogs. For those dogs with a more chill energy, I’d be able to take them on daily stroll through the wooded park next to us. There’s also a nice paved path to the metro that offers a secluded walking trail.
