Information Michelle R. would like to know about your pet

Just tell me about your fur baby's routine and expectations. I will do my best to meet them. I can send you as many or as little updates as you'd like.

A typical day

We love to go on walks and change up the route often to find new sniffs. Also have tons of toys and fun stimulating puzzles.

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Michelle, a lifelong dog lover based in the Lakeview/Roscoe area. I live with my 12 year old chihuahua mix, Taco, and work from home so your pup will rarely be alone. I've raised two of my own dogs for over a decade, volunteered with the SPCA in Dallas, and have spent years walking and sitting dogs professionally. I’d love to be your pup’s second home while you’re away!

Michelle lives and breathes animal care! She has owned, fostered, and cared for several dogs and cats and is passionate about making sure they are taken care of and showered with affection. Her dogs live better than royalty!
