Pawsitively Great Pet Sitters!

Pet care experience

Why choose us? As fur-parents ourselves, we understand this can be a stressful time for not just you, but them as well. It's never easy to leave your fur-babies! With us, your beloved pet(s) is treated just like family. Literally. Just. Like. Family. Haha. When entering our home, they are entering their home away from home, and into our hearts. We treat your dogs the way we want our dogs to be treated. With endless amounts of love, attention, protection, and fun. We are passionate animal lovers, and each pup deserves time and around the clock human interaction, and so do their fur-parents. So skip the cooped up kennel time and breathe easy knowing your loved one will pawsitively be in the best hands! About us: There will be no shortage of love and attention for your fur-babies in our household between myself, husband, and our two children (ages 13 & 18). My husband, Gabriel, is a local firefighter and when he’s not on shift, he’s at home “serving and protecting” all of our precious fur-visitors! For myself, I’m privileged to work for a company that allows flexibility for drop-offs, pick-ups, and work from home days when needed! Our daughter is a senior in high-school and son a 7th grader in middle — both also avid and responsible animal lovers themselves. What to expect: We aim to have you and your loved ones leave each stay feeling as if you never left their side! Therefore, to keep you informed while away, daily pictures, updates, and videos are provided so you can rest assure they are having a blast! And occasionally maybe a mini photoshoot, “special toy” or bandana will also accompany their stay. Haha About our home: Upon arriving, your loved one will quickly make three new friends! Sometimes more depending if we have other fur-visitors blessings us with their presence! A female Mini Schnauzer named Candy who will instantly want to greet you with “talks,” aka barks, of "let's play!" A female Golden Retriever/Lab Mix named Raelyn who is just as cuddly as they come! She will bounce with excitement as she greets everyone with warm welcomes! And finally our female Lab Mix Rescue name Cinco. The hostess with the mostest and always the life of the party regardless of size, shape or gender. She is the queen of kisses and is the sweetest thing ever! We have a large fenced in backyard for hours of continuous playtime, and each visitor has free-roam of our home and is welcomed (and encouraged) to make themselves at home! Important Note: With three fur-babies ourselves, and our home functioning as a revolving door for fur-visitors, all guests must get along with other dogs. Anxious or nervousness are things we are equipped to handle, but if your loved one doesn’t do well sharing a home with other fur-babies, unfortunately, this is not the staycation for them. Notice About Bookings: We do our very best to accommodate our schedule’s with yours to make your stay as smooth as possible. To ensure an easy booking, please specify specific drop off and pick up times needed, and small time frames are acceptable. Pick up times after 1:00 pm will be charged a $35 daycare fee to accommodate for late pickups. If picking up after 7:00 pm, and at your request, an overnight boarding fee will be charged. With children in school and work ourselves, all pick ups must be completed by 9 pm on day of scheduled pick up unless agreed upon in original booking. We thank you for your understanding and consideration of our time, family, and home. We hope this gives you a little glance into our lives & the love they will receive. We look forward to having your loved ones join our hearts for forever and would be happy to answer any additional questions you may have! -Michelle, Gabriel, Taylor, Austin, Candy, Raelyn & Cinco

This is my dog's other home. He gets excited to see Michelle and her family and they take excellent care of him. He's been taking his vacations with them for years and we wouldn't have it any other way!

Michelle V’s husband was very nice. We communicated with him and had him and his family watch our Husky for a couple days. They were great about sending videos and pictures of our pup while we were away. Would def recommend them and will likely use them again.

Michelle and her family were amazing with our Mazie. She stayed with them for about a week. We received pictures and videos. Mazie was right at home with Michelle and family. I felt at ease the whole time and when I got back I think Mazie would have been fine staying even longer. They have a big back yard and treated her like she was one of their own. I will definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend her.

Information Michelle V. would like to know about your pet

To ensure the safety of all fur babies its important to know how they are with other dogs? It's okay of they tend to lean more on the human interaction side, but if they are better suited in a home without other pets, we completely understand!

A typical day

Your loved one will enjoy tons of exercise and access to our large fenced in back yard for play time with our 3 furbabies ourselves. Additionally, daily walks if they are a pup that likes to get out and smell the neighborhood air! They will exhaust all their excitement with our 12-year-old son who is all our visitors favorite for on the ground wrestling! Cuddles & scratches are provided by all but Daddy has the special touch! Mom provides the comfort and security, and therefore the pack tends to follow her. Your loved one will even enjoy some good brushing and mini photo shoots! Finally, with the fur parents permission, we have a dog park in walking distance for them to enjoy!
