Pet care experience

Dogs are the best, fur babies rule!

Hi! I’m Michelle. I’ve had dogs for the last 17 years. I love smaller sized dogs and need to be around ones that are hypoallergenic, no shedding (unfortunately I am allergic). I love walks, dog snuggles, runs and bike rides with the fur-kids.

Schedule

I work from home so you can be assured that in general I am mostly around. I have a pet friendly home where dogs rule. Does your dog love snuggling on the couch in front of the fire, same! Does dog expect to be snuggled in bed? Great! Does your dog like evening walks? Me too!

Safety, trust & environment

I lost my fur-babies in the last year. I love the energy and love a dog brings to a home but am still getting ready for my next steps. I have a two-story home with a fenced yard and work from home. I have short trails in the woods near our home and live close to a 1 mile paved path we love to walk. I can accommodate any dietary and medicine schedules and have had to deal with the same. I would love a well trained hypoallergenic pooch and we let our fur-babies rule the house. I can accommodate any asks though. I know the angst of leaving your pets and hope to be safe place for people to leave their fur babies knowing they are safe and well cared for.

A typical day

I generally wake up early since I work CT. Would love to take a morning walk with a dog. I always try to get some movement in during the day so expect a short walk at lunch and then a longer walk before dinner. I also like to relax on the patio in the evening, so your fur-baby will likely be relaxing there as well in a fenced yard.

16 to 40 lbs

Michelle can host up to 2 pets per night
In general I prefer to watch smaller, hypoallergenic dogs but happy to take in any fur babies for a short-time. I do prefer no dogs larger than 50 pounds as I get started with this.
