My husband and I work different shifts so there is always someone home to provide loving care and attention to your pet. Whether they need a cuddle and a lot of petting time, or they want to bask in the sun, it’s very important to me that your loving dogs are very comfortable. We are definitely doggie people!

Safety, trust & environment

Living in an apartment, your dog must be leashed when walking per HOA regulations when boarding dogs. I can watch multiple dogs if they are from the same family. I do have a crate so the dogs will have a secluded place to go if they need and or want to lay down.

Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has special needs or requires any specific accommodations, please let me know in advance. I am very flexible and have experience with such.

A typical day

I love incorporating multisensory approach to playtime with your fur baby. We love to check out all the new smells in the neighborhood and I live very close to a dog walking park for extra stimulation and release of energy.

I believe that like children, dogs need a routine schedule, which I am able to provide diligently. I enjoy leash walks multiple times a day and I’m able to provide a flexible, attentive, loving environment and care to your fur baby. If your dog has special needs or requires any special care or accommodations, please let me know ahead of time.

Michelle and her family are incredible. We are so thankful we found them. They have watched our dog Chip a few times and he is legit excited to go back everytime. We were nervous about who was going to watch chip for our wedding weekend but after the few times he stayed with Michelle and fam we did not have to worry at all. We could enjoy our day knowing he was in the best hands! 1000% reccomend

We had an excellent experience with Michele and Paul. They were reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for our dog as if he were their own. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and compassionate pet care.

They worked with me last minute, were flexible and communicated and my pup was well cared for while I was gone. Will definitely use them again if I need to! Thank you so very much for taking such good care of my boy.
