This was our second time boarding Dixie with Michelle, and we have nothing but good things to say! We get constant photos and updates during her stay, and we can tell Dixie was loved and well taken care of. Highly recommend!

Michelle did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of Ranger. Highly recommend. She was a part of her family while we were away on holiday. I felt comfortable and reassured the entire time!

Michelle was amazing with our fur baby! Lulu enjoyed her visit and I was happy to get photos of Lulu throughout the day. We will be coming back for sure 🤗

Michelle is amazing and took great care of our 9-month old pup in her home for a 4-night stay. It was our first time leaving our pup for an extended period of time and we missed him terribly. But Michelle’s regular updates and photos of him interacting with her children put our minds at ease. Based on the feedback we received, we knew that our pup was in kind and attentive hands. Michelle is very gentle and calm, thoughtful and professional in every respect. When I returned to pick up our pup, he was clean, brushed and totally relaxed and content. Michelle gave us a comprehensive update on our pup’s behaviour, feeding, hygiene and general wellbeing during this stay. I am so thankful for her kindness and care and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking pet care.

I have a giant fenced yard, gated dog run and gated deck area. We live near walking trails and a big field that many dog owners take their dogs too.

We have trails right by my house that I frequent often. I love playing catch with the pups as well as snuggling up with them by my fireplace.
