Availability

Ball is life. Around here, fetch, walks, and snuggles are part of every day. I have a fenced-in yard where pups can run and play safely, plus I’m home in the mornings and early afternoons with evening walks to wrap up the day. I also understand the extra attention senior dogs may need and provide care at a pace that keeps them comfortable. Whether it’s playtime or quiet company, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in yard that’s perfect for safe play and sniff breaks. My dog Bella loves making new friends, so your pup will have a built-in buddy for playtime or cozy naps. With your approval, I’m happy to share treats and plenty of cuddles. Whether your pup is playful or prefers a slower pace (like many senior dogs), I adjust to their needs. If your dog prefers their own space, I can easily crate them so they feel secure and comfortable.

Information Michelle T. would like to know about your pet

• Do they have any special needs, allergies, or medications? • How do they do on walks—are they pullers, runners, or more easygoing strollers? • What’s their play style—fetch, tug-of-war, belly rubs, or just snuggles? • Do they get along well with other dogs or prefer solo time? • Are there any routines (feeding, potty breaks, bedtime) that make them feel most comfortable? • Any quirks or fears I should know about (thunderstorms, vacuums, mailmen)?

A typical day

In the morning, Bella and I head out for a refreshing 1–2 mile walk to start the day. By early afternoon, we’re back outside for another walk to keep moving and enjoy the sunshine. In the evenings, it’s all about playtime—Bella loves fetching the ball (she even catches it mid-air, one of her favorite tricks!). After that, we wind down together, happy and relaxed. I’d love to give your pup the same kind of active, fun-filled day.

Cozy Care for Happy Pups

Pet care experience

Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets for years, from feeding and walking to giving them plenty of love. My own pup, Bella, is social and loves making new friends after spending over a year in daycare. I decided to join Rover to give other pet parents a cozy, caring alternative to daycare when they can’t be with their pups. I’m also experienced with senior dogs and understand the extra patience and gentle care they need. With us, your dog will get attention, playtime, and a cozy place to feel right at home.

Michelle was wonderful, very responsive and went above and beyond for my dog while she was there. Bella is super sweet and plays very well. My dog was wiped out when she got back with a big smile on her face. Will definitely book again.
