Pet care experience

Home all day! Lots of love and play

I love animals and caring for them. I have experience with many varied breeds of dogs, including very large dogs, special needs dogs, and dogs of any energy level. I love getting to know each pup who vacations here and their unique personalities, and enjoy accommodating their individual needs. I am experienced in everything from bottle feeding puppies and kittens, to providing end of life comfort. Your furry family member will always receive the best of care and respect with me. I am very experienced with rescue pets and pets with separation anxiety and other needs, and will always help them feel at ease and not leave them alone. I pride myself on speaking the language of animals. I am patient and always listen to what an animal is communicating. I am also very fun, and can play all day, or relax on the couch- whatever my furry friends need. I have had many pets of all kinds my entire life, and have over 20 years experience pet-sitting. I am capable of training (leash training, house/crate training, etc. through the positive reinforcement method), preparing special diet meals, as well as administering medication. While I have a lot of experience, I will always follow your guidelines to the letter, as you know what is best for your furry family member. I will always be on-spot with whatever play, medication, walking schedule you desire. You will always be welcome to contact me, any time of day or night, every 5 minutes if you need it, for an update on your pet, and a picture if you want one. I'm looking forward to making a new pal! I am available 7 days a week. I am available for dropoff and pickup: 7am through 9am, and 5pm through 6pm. I will meet you outside. I am not allowing anyone in my house at the moment. Please note: I am willing to be flexible with the times within reason. I am available for meet and greets on Sundays between 1pm and 3pm. I have a very nice sized, super clean, extremely securely fenced yard; and a clean, spacious, comfortable house. I take a morning 2.5 mile walk every day (shorter or longer walks if required), and am at the park and outdoors whenever possible. I have a husband and 2 children who also love animals. The children are extremely respectful of animals and always give them space if they want it. My house is very pet friendly. Your pet is more than welcome to relax on my couch for movies, and cuddle up in bed. I am very present, and am up for anything your furry family member needs. Your special pal will not be alone, and will have a lot of fun! I am always home and I am able to care for your furry family member(s) 24 hours a day and 7 days a week! I am here to give them whatever they need 🙂 Very safe, comfortable, loving, and fun environment. We totally live our lives around whatever our furry friends need! From chilling on the couch to jogging some trails, we are here for your furry family member- whatever they like! I am always available and home day and night. If I leave the house my husband is here. We play a lot in the yard and if the weather doesn't allow that we have a lot of games to play indoors. The pups have the run of the house and yard. Very safe and clean environment. The yard is bleached twice weekly. I like to crate pups who stay overnight, but other than that they would rarely be crated except upon your request.

Michelle was great with our dog Keeper! We had a nice visit when I dropped Keep off, and she I had her kiddos come out and meet me and Keep. Keep and her dogs were quick playmates and when we picked Keep up she was happy and tired from all her play!

We were so pleased with Michelle. Myson has always been taken care of by family or friends so this was the first time leaving him with someone unfamiliar. Michelle made us feel so reassured by arranging a visit prior and her experience really shows. Myson was so happy and comfortable while we on vacation and we were updated with pictures. We will definitely be using Michelle again.

Michelle was awesome. Communication superb. She looked after my baby with such care. This was my very first time having someone watch our baby. Michelle put me at ease. Thank you. 10/10 highly recommended.

Pets

A typical day

Your furry family member will enjoy whatever they want! Walks, play time in the yard and park, relaxing on the couch- it's up to them! I live next to a golf course/park which makes for a really nice walk and fun playtime. We like to play in the yard for hours, and will always include our furry friends in soccer games, tee-ball, and fetch, or just hanging out on the patio if that's what they like. Indoors, they will have the run of the house (always supervised), and plenty of play time, and also hanging out for movies on the couch (Lady and the Tramp and 101 Dalmations are some favorites here!). If your pup likes car rides, we can even take a cruise around town/by the lake! I also usually have a couple of my regular daycare dogs here who are super friendly and playful if your pup wants a doggy playmate!
