Pet care experience

I’ll be your pets temporary dog mom

Aside from loving and raising dogs with my family my entire life, I am now a a dog mom to two adorable babies, Mochaccino and Lady Lemon. I have also been a proud foster dog mom to four dogs, which have all gone on to find their forever homes. Through fostering, I have gained experience in caring for dogs with special health needs, dietary restrictions, and unique temperaments. I have cared for a young and senior dogs for family and friends, as well as a litter of puppies.

Simply amazing! Super accommodating for both the last-minute booking and a sudden change. Her home was clean and I got cute pictures and updates.

Michelle was great with Winston. She sent me pics and videos during his visit. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. I would definitely give her a 10 outta 10.

Michelle provided such great care of my little furbaby. It was Chippy’s first stay with anyone, and she made me feel so at ease, communicated with me, and sent pictures! Chippy says “woof woof” which means he had fun!! 🐶 thank you Michelle! 🥰

Communicated efficiently. Was able to take care of Gunther when I had to leave town abruptly. Very caring. Met all of Gunthers needs and went above and beyond to be flexible with our schedules. Will be using Michelle again. Highly recommended

Safety, trust & environment

I have huge backyard for zoomies and sunbathing. My pets get supervised outside time in the backyard several times a day, and 30-minute to 1-hour walks twice a day. My dogs are mainly indoors and are allowed to free roam, and hang out on furniture, these rules will apply to any pets I care for, but I can also crate if needed - most of the foster dogs I have cared for have been crated. I have worked with drop-in visit clients, in which I have visited and walked their pets twice a day on the agreed days and times.

Pets

A typical day

Our family is huge on dog beaches, which is an experience I'd love to share with any of the pets I care for if my clients are comfortable. I can offer long walks around the neighborhood to take in all the smells, lots of toys in the house, lots of love, pup cup runs, and two play buddies!

Let me know if your pet requires any special care or has any behaviors I should look out for like resource guarding, for example. My preference is a dog who is comfortable and friendly with other dogs.
