Michelle was patient with Gizmo. She was always sending me updates and letting me know how he was doing. He is a very timid dog so he just followed her around and she was okay with that :)

Michelle did a wonderful job caring for Darcy while we went away on a weekend trip. She provided daily updates on what she was doing with Darcy, including plenty of walks and exploring time, which Darcy loved! Communication was great, and we also appreciated her flexibility with pick up and drop off times.

Michelle was a lovely host for my dog, Ozzie. She gave updates with pictures and didn’t make me worry about him. She was super responsible with him like open to cleaning a would he had. Thanks Michelle
