Pet care experience

Can’t wait to meet your pup!

Hello! I have over 50 years experience taking care of dogs, rabbits, Guinea pigs, horses, and whatever else my daughter would bring home. I am now retired and travel too much to have my own dog, so I am happy to watch others! We have a nice grassy yard (undenied) for your pup and a single story home for your dog to play in. I have extensive experience watching senior dogs. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me!

This is the second time we have left our small Havenese with Michelle. Izzy was very happy staying with her. Will use her again!

Michelle and Walter are so special to us, and the peace of mind knowing that my fur baby is in good hands is priceless!

Remi loved his time with Michelle. He was happy to be dropped off for doggy daycare. I highly recommend Michelle and her husband to take good care of your fur babies.

Michelle and her husband were great. Teddy immediately felt calm when he met them. Michelle’s experience with animals was evident. Teddy had a great time and we highly recommend Michelle!!!

Michelle was very kind to our senior maltese when accepting for an overnight. She followed the instructions and the schedule I left. Puppy was super chill upon pickup indicating the stay was a good one. Have booked more stays with Michelle!

Safety, trust & environment

I have an unfenced yard, and I have a one story home with no stairs if that is a concern. I do have a pool but it is closed off from the yard and home.

A typical day

I’m here to care for your pet as closely to the manner you would. Your pet comes first! Once yourpet becomes familiar with the spaces, they usually relax and become “ themselves”.
