Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lovers here!
Your 4-legged family member will be given play time, walk time, nap time, and a safe environment. My top priorities are safety and comfort. Repeat guests are excited when they arrive and I love to hear from guests' owners that their pet gets excited when driving down our street. I've become like the pet-grandma or pet-aunt to some very lovable dogs! I have developed a very successful acclimation process for both new and repeat guests. It's a must that the guest is comfortable in a crate to ensure their safety as needed.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I have booked with Michelle twice for my dog Bear and have been very happy with her professionalism and how she treats my beloved pet. I would highly recommend as I plan to book with her again.
Michelle is extremely prompt with responses and provides daily updates throughout the visit. Thank you!
Outstanding sitter! Our first time using Michelle. She asked a lot of questions in advance about our pooch and we did a “meet & greet”, to make sure it was a good fit. All went well during our pooches stay and our pooch came back happy. Michelle sent a text with pictures every morning which was great. Highly recommend!
Michelle took wonderful care of our pup! She was very communicative and flexible when our travel plans changed. We are very grateful to her for providing our pup a home-away-from-home 🙂
Very fast at responding and provides detailed updates daily.
It’s all about her rules. Inflexible and you feel all the she is doing a favor to you. Zero kindness!

Schedule
A home-away-from-home environment: I provide a boutique service where pets are loved with personalized care. Safety and comfort are top priority. We love our repeaters who have been coming here for years and it's adorable how many of them now have dog-friends when here at the same time.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
It's best that guests are crate trained so while the humans sleep and while I'm out, pets, guests, and property are all safe. Playtime with other dogs is only with owner permission AND if I deem them compatible. Typical outing schedule (on a leash, typically double leash with more than one collar to ensure back-up for malfunctions): 1) First thing in the morning. 2) After morning meal - this will be until the dog poops and will sometimes also be their long (30-60 minutes) walk of the day. 3) Afternoon pee (between 12-3). 4) After dinner - this will be either until the dog poops or will sometimes be their long (30-60 minutes) walk of the day. 5) Bedtime pee Dogs are always taken out while on a leash (typically doubled), never loose. For drop off and pick up, even if your dog has good recall, they must be leashed. Safety when inside to prevent escaping is top priority.
A typical day
We walk primarily around our residential area. Further walks depend on the dog, schedule, and weather. Indoors we play fetch and let the dogs have their zoomies. I primarily work from home and when the weather is nice, I take my "office" outside. The dog guests love enjoying the deck with me. Sometimes we'll drive to a trail and some dog guests enjoy running errands with me (driving is only with owner permission and dogs who ride well in the car).
