Country retreat for cats and dogs!
Pet care experience
Pets come first for me, and are part of the family! Give your canine companion or pretty kitty a vacation too at a country home in the city! Large fenced yard and separate area for cats allow for a relaxing vacation for pets and owners alike! 😻🐶 I have 30 years of animal rescue and pet ownership experience, including operating my own animal rescue for the last 14 years; while my partner also has 6 years of rescue experience. We have cared for hundreds of animals over the years, and donate much of our time and resources to this endeavor. We are strong believers in helping animals who cannot help themselves. I can house-sit for cats or dogs any night, and board both cats and dogs in-home in Farmington Hills. Also able to keep dogs and cats separated, as well as small dogs from large dogs; or pets who prefer not to be around other animals if needed for both the pet’s safety and owners’ peace of mind while they are away. For an additional charge of $30 per night, I can also limit the number of animals accepted at any given time for a pet that needs special attention, has separation anxiety or cannot be around other animals and needs to be the only pet boarded on a given day. We are also experienced at giving medicine, fluids, insulin and even pills for cats! The home was originally built in the 1940’s, and has the old-time charm of that era, with an arched doorway and dormers to give it that country feel. If you are looking for someone experienced who will put your animals’ well-being first, look no further!
Reviews
Michelle is amazing! My German Shepard has an amazing time when we need to go out of town. So helpful and accommodating to special needs. She sends updates and photos morning noon and night :)
We recently moved and were looking for a new dog sitter. We are so happy we found Michelle! Our dog Niko made fast friends with her and felt right at home. She even repaired one of his favorite toys when it ripped. We look forward to continuing to work with Michelle!
Pablo did well with Michelle. She is very caring and capable.i recommend her.
Michelle was amazing! Both my pups were very comfortable with her immediately! Her home was clean and pet friendly and she was great with sending pictures and updates. I love that her yard is large and fenced in so that they can play outside and not be cooped up! Will definitely be seeing her again for our next trip! This was my first time using a sitter and she definitely put me at ease. My pups came home worn out from fun and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were safe.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
The house has a fenced in yard to allow your pet to run and play, but they are never allowed outside unattended. Also able to provide walks as needed weather permitting. 😊🐶
Home
Information Michelle T. would like to know about your pet
Any special needs are important to know ahead of time, as well as if your dog is crate-trained, or likes/dislikes other animals. We would also need to know if your pet has any sort of separation anxiety and cannot be left alone for even a small amount of time. Lastly we would need to know any dietary requirements and feeding/potty schedule. I request that all pet owners make sure their pets are on flea preventative prior to and during their stay.
A typical day
Fetch is a favorite game for dogs that enjoy outdoor activities, and going for walks when the weather cooperates. If boarding multiple dogs separate playtime is done vs. group play for everyone’s safety. There are cat trees for the kitties in the dedicated cat room.

Michelle can host
Availability
Both my partner and I have flexible schedules, and share the responsibility of caring for the animals! We work together to make sure that one of us is home to take care of the animals as needed, and one of us is usually with them all or the majority of the time. When we are not petsitting or boarding, we enjoy spending time at our second home; RV’ing or traveling.
