Happy Dogs stays here!

Welcome to a home where your pup will be treated like family! We provide a loving, safe, and fun environment tailored to each dog's personality—whether they’re a playful pup bursting with energy or a senior dog who just wants a soft place to rest and plenty of love. Losing our beloved Punky after 16 wonderful years left a hole in our hearts, but it also deepened our appreciation for the love and care that older dogs need. Senior pups hold a special place in our home, and I understand the little things that make their lives easier—gentle walks, medication assistance, extra snuggles, and a cozy, quiet space to relax. But don’t worry, we love the zoomies and playful energy of younger pups, too! We’re excited to fill our home with tail wags, happy barks, and the joy that only dogs can bring. No matter your pup’s age or personality, they’ll be welcomed with open arms and plenty of belly rubs! New Rover clients: get -$20 off the first ever booking with Rover by using Your Promo Code: MICHET64322. (Rover gives you $20 off but sitters still get paid the same rate.) For Boeing employees: you get $2,000/year free as part of your benefits (use it or lose it); ask me about it and I'll show you how to do it! What Sets Us Apart? 🐶 Tailored Care for Every Pup – Whether your dog needs high-energy playtime, special senior care, or just a comfy spot to relax, we provide a personalized experience to make them feel right at home. 🛁 Bath Time Bliss – I offer return-home baths using gentle, high-quality dog-friendly products, so your pup comes back to you fresh and clean. 📸 Daily Updates & Photos – I know how hard it is to be away from your fur baby, so I keep you updated with adorable photos and messages, ensuring peace of mind while you're apart. 🏡 A True Home Away From Home – This isn’t just pet sitting; it’s a second home where your dog will be loved, pampered, and cared for like family. I can't wait to meet your pup and provide them with all the love, care, and attention they deserve. Let’s make their time away from home just as special as when they’re with you! 🐾

Michelle took outstanding care of Cosmo. You can tell she loves dogs and has a great setup to care for them. She gave great updates and shared plenty of pictures that showed that Cosmo was very happy. We will definitely be using her again.

While we were away, Michelle and her family took such great care of Coby. She sent us daily photo updates, and in every picture, Coby looked so happy and completely at home, like part of her family. It really put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our trip. Thank you so much, Michelle!

We had a fantastic experience! My dog, Olive, absolutely loved staying here and was so well-cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone we can trust implicitly. Picking her up, she wanted to run back into their house! Highly recommend!

Out front, we’re surrounded by open space and a small farm, creating a quiet, scenic, and relaxing environment for your pup. 🏡 A Safe & Loving Community: We live in a beautiful, safe, and pet-friendly neighborhood, making walks and outdoor adventures stress-free and enjoyable.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pup will feel like part of our family from the moment they arrive because we’ll love and care for them just as we did for our beloved Punky. Their comfort, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities, and I create a warm, home-like environment where they can relax, play, and feel completely safe. 🐾 Comfort & Care: I provide cozy dog beds, soft blankets, and plenty of toys to keep your pup entertained and comfortable. Have any special requests? Just let me know! Whether it’s a favorite blanket, a specific feeding routine, or extra cuddle time before bed, I’m happy to accommodate. 🦴 A Safe & Supervised Stay: Your pup will always be under loving supervision, whether we’re relaxing at home, playing in the fenced backyard, or enjoying a walk in our peaceful neighborhood. Safety is my priority—I ensure all pets are secure, hydrated, and well cared for at all times. 📸 Updates for Peace of Mind: I know how important it is to stay connected with your furry friend while you're away. That’s why I send regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel at ease knowing they’re happy, loved, and well cared for. No matter their age or personality, every pup is treated like family here—with love, patience, and plenty of belly rubs! I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend and provide them with a home full of love and care. 🐾💛

Pets

A typical day

Every day in our home is filled with love, fun, and plenty of tail wags! I make sure each pup gets the perfect balance of playtime, relaxation, and care based on their needs and personality. ☀️ Morning Routine: We start the day with a refreshing morning walk around our quiet neighborhood, giving your pup a chance to stretch, sniff, and enjoy the fresh air. Afterward, it's breakfast time, followed by a little relaxation or gentle play indoors. Afternoon Snuggles & Stimulation: As I work from home part-time, your pup will always have companionship. If they enjoy social interaction, I provide mental stimulation with toys, basic training reinforcement, or simply extra belly rubs. For our senior pups, this is the perfect time for gentle attention and relaxation. Evening Wind-Down: As the day winds down, we take an evening stroll to help your pup unwind after dinner. Then, it’s time for cuddles, playtime, or just lounging around before settling in for the night. Your pup will sleep comfortably upstairs with us, so they always feel safe and at home. Personalized Activities: Every dog is different, and I tailor each day to fit their needs. Whether your pup loves fetch, long walks, interactive games, or just soaking up love and attention, I make sure they get the care and activities they enjoy most. Your pup’s happiness is my priority, and I can’t wait to welcome them into our loving home for a day full of fun, snuggles, and care!

To ensure your furry friend has the best stay possible, I’d love to know a few important details ahead of time: Daily Routine & Preferences – What’s their feeding schedule? Do they have a favorite toy, walking route, or bedtime routine? Keeping their routine consistent helps them feel right at home! Temperament & Socialization – Is your pup friendly with other dogs and people? Do they enjoy lots of playtime, or are they more laid-back? Let me know so I can tailor their stay to match their personality. Dietary Needs & Restrictions – Any allergies, special diets, or favorite treats? I want to make sure your pup stays happy and healthy during their visit. Medical Needs & Medications – Does your pup require any medications or special care? I’m happy to follow any instructions to ensure their health and comfort. Training & Habits – Are there any commands they know or behaviors I should be aware of? Whether it’s house training, leash manners, or special cues, I want to keep things consistent for them. Anything Else? – Every pup is unique! If there’s anything special that will make their stay more enjoyable, just let me know—I want to make their time here as fun and comfortable as possible! The more I know about your pup, the better I can ensure they have a safe, happy, and stress-free stay. I can't wait to meet your furry family member!
