Pet care experience

My husband and I grew up with dogs

My husband and I grew up with dogs our whole lives and we owned a small dog for 15 years. We are often one our neighbors and relatives call when they need a pet sitter. We are excited to meet new dogs and families and offer pet care. Our home is warm and welcoming and we like to give pets a lot of attention. We feel they are a part of our family when they are with us. You will receive pictures and regular updates while your dog is with us, so you can be reassured your pets are having a wonderful vacation too. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Michelle took wonderful care of our senior dog who has some special needs. She was a great communicator, caring and made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog. I would definitely use her again!

Michelle and Peter are amazing! They always take the best care of our Cavapoo, Bella. It gives our family such peace of mind knowing that Bella is well cared for when we travel. Michelle is responsive, thoughtful, sends us pics/updates, and is so loving to our fur-baby! We will book Michelle every time!

Outstanding care takers. They helped me out with a last minute request when the other person I had booked backed out. They took care of Cameron as if she were their own.

Michelle and her husband, Peter, we're amazing! Such thoughtful care of our Cavapoo, Bella, while we were on vacation. She came home relaxed and happy! It was clear she was well cared for, included in activities, and loved by a great family who loves dogs. We will absolutely have Bella stay with Michelle again! I would 100% recommend!
