I have an invisible fence for my own dogs (a golden/cockerspaniel & Shepard mix) and a spare collar if you are comfortable with your dog wearing it. All pets have full access in our home but our dogs can be crated if necessary. I am happy to follow whatever protocol you use at your own home. Both of my own dogs are completely up to date with all vaccinations, flea, tick and Heartworm medications.

Information Michelle S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs. I do ask that your pet is good with children and other dogs in order to be at my house. ***PLEASE NOTE: I do ask that all dogs be on some form of flea preventative, even during the winter, as we can have warm weather at times and fleas can survive outdoors in temps as low as 33 degrees for as long as five days. If you should have some concerns about this or your dog has issues with flea preventatives, please just let me know and we can discuss possible alternatives. Please be sure to let me know if your dog is sensitive to loud noises such as fireworks or thunderstorms.

A typical day

I would love to take your dog for long walks or just play in the backyard with toys. My girls ( ages 3&1) also love pets and would love to give your pup lots of love throughout the day.

Pet care experience

My main goal is to ensure that the needs of both you and your pet are met at all times. I understand it can be difficult to leave your pet and that’s why I can assure you they will be treated with love and respect whenever they are with me. Heath & Safety will always be my main priority & I’m happy to accommodate whatever is needed for the health of your pet. I am a stay at home mom to two sweet babies and two beautiful girls too! My experience with dogs ranges from puppies to seniors, fostering to adoption to puppies directly from breeders. Small breeds to the largest breeds, I love them all! My dogs have and will always be a big part of my life and I'd love to take care of yours too!

Michelle and her family took wonderful care of our dog Topper! He had such a fun time and they sent us awesome pictures to prove it! We really appreciate the amazing care and peace of mind that our boy was well loved!

We have used Michelle two times now for dog walking and drop in visits. She was able to do 3 drop ins over 2 days to feed our cats while we took a trip up north!! We so appreciate her! She took pictures and kept us updated!! I recommend her for your pet care needs.

Michelle was very responsive, send us photos of our dog on his walk, and was easy to work with! She was able to accept our booking fairly last minute and we are so thankful. Earl was so happy to have a potty break on our long day of work!
