Michelle, was good with my pet. Who seems to have played all day and had a good time. It was a short notice but Michelle accommodated us. Will be using her again

Michelle took great care of Tiza while we were away travelling for four full weeks. She sent us frequent updates, videos and photos which gave us peace of mind. Happy to have met Michelle, Otto and Lola and even happier to know that we can book her again! :)

Michelle was awesome as always! Penelope was so happy to see her again that she jumped to give her a kiss! She was very flexible with the pick up time when our flight got delayed last night. Thank you again Michelle!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet will be in a taken care of like my own two dogs! My home and two puppers are pet-friendly and peaceful and we expect the same in return if you are our guest. Puppers are allowed on the sofas and beds, unless you prefer them not to be. All indoor stairs are carpeted that will alleviate pressure on joints and toes. All water bowls are constantly replenished with fresh water. And most of all, your pupper will be treated as a family member here! ** Booking Considerations**: • Your doggo(s) must be friendly to other dogs. • Your dog is not high-energy. • Your dog is not nor attempt to be a tabletop or countertop grazer. • Granted feeding your dog separately fosters a safe dining experience and a step towards building trust, your dog is not food aggressive. • Your dog must be 200% house-broken. (e.g. No peeing inside the house after long walks!). • Your dog must be spayed or neutered, as my two dogs are also.

Information Michelle V. would like to know about your pet

• Meet & Greets are preferred as I want to become familiar with your pupper and vice versa. • Please share any specific needs, medications/supplements, special dietary needs, routine, veterinarian information, behavioral quirks, etc. • What is your pupper’s specific potty routine when away from home? Leash needs? • Any previous boarding for the pupper?

A typical day

I believe enrichment is vital to animals and their health. We will play fetch, reinforce commands, practice walking nicely, play games, run errands together, and go for human and pupper snack runs. There is ample space for sunbathing, romping, playing, and rolling around - indoor and outdoor. During the pleasant weather days, we will work from home, have Netflix on, and work from the gazebo, and walk the paths. We will do easy, brisk, controlled, daily walks on the paved trails and throughout the neighborhood, as weather permits. The round trip miles will be approximately 1.5-4 miles/day, so keep this in mind when gauging against your pupper’s energy needs before requesting to book - if your dog is high-energy.
