I’ll love your fur baby as my own!

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with pets at home my entire life. I have personally trained and cared for my fur baby for 9 years. He was a registered service dog. Capable of obeying commands such as Sit, Stay, Leave it, Door, Lights and Find. He loved other fur babies and loved having guests. He loved on them and cared for them by sharing all of his toys and blankets. Unfortunately my baby boy passed away very suddenly and very unexpectedly late July of 2022. We think it was an underlying heart condition. I miss him terribly. He was my very best friend in the world. I will be continuing to love and care for other fur babies through my grief as I know my baby boy would want me to continue spreading endless love to pups everywhere. Every pup that visits gets a tremendous amount of cuddles and hugs and belly scratchies throughout the day. Updates are my specialty so you never have to travel and leave your baby behind wondering how he's doing. I will send videos, pics, and constant updates. I am a full time Marketing and Development Coordinator and work from home Full Time. All fur babies are given undivided love and attention. They are never left alone or unattended for extended periods of time as I keep a 9-5 schedule online. We walk every 4hrs and if weather permits we have special outings planned for overnight guests. We try to visit doggie parks and beaches depending on the pups needs. I reside in open dog friendly community. I do live in a 2 bedroom apartment however there’s plenty of room for your fur babes. There are parks within a 2 mile radius and if weather permits we take frequent trips to enjoy open play areas.

Michelle took excellent care of our animals and our home. She provided regular updates and great photos, and went above and beyond our instructions. Highly recommended.

Michelle gives me so much relief knowing that when I'm away, my sweet 10 year old pitbull is 100% taken care of. Michelle provides all the snuggles, treats, and exercise my doggie could ever need. She sends multiple videos and glam shots per day to keep me updated. She is reliable, communicative, and truly loves my pet. I whole heartedly recommend Michelle 11/10. Thank you for allowing me to travel with full peace of mind!

Michelle is so wonderful with my pup Dacks. He tends to be quite shy/timid and she gives him the time he needs to warm up. After just a short bit he never wants to leave her alone! He gets showered with love and she gives so many lovely photo and video updates. Very grateful to have her in the area!

Michelle was so great taking care of our pup. She kept us updated by sending us pictures and videos. We love the fact that she responded right away especially during the moments we really missed our puppy. She also fed and took out our pup in a timely manner! We had a schedule for our puppy along with medications he had to take and she was able to accommodate us and take care of him. Would highly recommend choosing Michelle to take care of your fur babies!

I work from home everyday. Pups that visit have my full time attention. We take naps together, eat lunch together and get plenty of one on one play time. After loosing my boy having pups around has been the best form of therapy I could have ever had.
