My husband is retired and home during the day, so he handles the daytime routines. I take over in the afternoons and evenings to ensure consistent care. We go on daily leash walks with our dogs, and at night, your pup is welcome to sleep in our room for comfort and companionship

Information Michelle R. would like to know about your pet

We generally prefer smaller breeds, but with my husband’s experience and support, we are also comfortable caring for larger dogs. We’ve welcomed pups ranging from tiny toy breeds to large collies, and are happy to host any breed—as long as they are dog-friendly.

A typical day

A typical day starts around 7:00 a.m. when we let the dogs out for their first potty break and some morning exercise. My husband, who is retired, stays home with our two pups throughout the day (with the occasional quick trip to the gym) and takes care of their meals. When I return from work, I handle their evening feeding, and after dinner we go for a nice walk together. Bedtime is usually around 10:00 p.m., with the dogs sleeping comfortably in our room.

Pet care experience

My husband David and I are lifelong dog lovers who have welcomed many rescue dogs into our family over the years. Our current pets—a Pomeranian and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel—are both very friendly and get along wonderfully with other dogs. We also have a rescued indoor/outdoor cat who is equally social and gentle. After a five-year break, we’re excited to return to pet sitting because of our genuine love for animals and the joy we’ve had helping dogs and their owners. Our Home & Care We live on one acre of fully secured, fenced-in land with a dog run area and a doggie door for easy access. David is retired and home most of the day, so your pets will have plenty of attention. He primarily covers daytime care, while I handle evenings and feedings. We have many years of experience dog- and cat-sitting for family and friends, both in the Bay Area and now in our current community. We understand firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your “fur babies,” and our goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Additional Services For an added charge, I can provide grooming services during your pet’s stay, as I am a former professional dog groomer. We look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with a safe, loving, and fun environment while you’re away!

Michelle and her hubby and of course their fur babies are such a joy to work with. My little Riley loves to spend time with them and play with the doggies.

Michelle and Dave are amazing! I knew I had found the perfect sitters within minutes. Truly dog lovers. My three year old Pom Chi has never had day care, she loves them! I highly recommend them!

Michelle and her hubby are amazing people. I am so fortunate to have found them to care for my fur baby. I can’t thank them enough for their sincere support and kindness. I would recommend them without hesitation.
