Flexible Schedule & Responsible

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm Shelley, and I have been a dog lover and owner since childhood. I live in a house in Bellevue with my husband, two children ages 13 and 11, and our beloved 4 year old Australian Labradoodle, Sammy. Our pup is playful, but well socialized with other dogs. Our children are respectful and loving with animals, and they are accustomed to being around all breeds and personalities of dogs. A dog in my care will be part of our pack when with us and will be loved and cared for as if our own. We have a spacious home, a flexible schedule, and a lot of time, varied excercise opportunities, and loving care to provide our visiting furry friends in our home or yours.

Shelley and her family took great care of Buster during his stay. The pictures looked like it was the best 10 days of Buster's life. We look forward to the next opportunity for Buster to visit Shelly's family.

My wife and I were going out of town, when we dropped our dog 'Simba' at Michelle's place. She was always responsive and gave us timely updates on how our furbaby is doing. From the pics and in person meeting, it was apparent that they really treated Simba as one of their own. Simba seemed to enjoy their dog and kids company. I highly recommend Michelle and will go back to her when I need to board Simba next time!

Whirly was a very happy pup! Michelle and her family were abosolutely wonderful, following instructions on no furniture unless invited. Pictures arrived with all 62 lbs of her on laps and in bed with "she was invited" captions :-). I am pretty sure she misses you! Anne

Shelley is spectacular. My Havanese enjoyed snuggles, walks, playing outside and with Shelley's sweet dog for 4 days. She also kindly sent pics while I was away. I would love to have Shelley care for my pup again.

Information Michelle W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to partner with owners who are able to communicate their dogs personalities and needs and who make their expectations clear, so we're all on the same page with respect to providing the best care possible. I will be happy to give updates and provide photos to give you peace of mind that your pet is well cared for and happy in your absence.

A typical day

With the owner's permission, a dog in my care will be taken on walks near our home, hikes on the nearby trails, and visits to the local dog park. If your dog likes to run, I would welcome that too. As well, dogs that like swimming will be able to enjoy supervised water playtime in warmer months as we have beach access to Lake Washington in our "backyard." My children love to practice their dog training skills and play with our guest dogs. I am able to manage medication and special requests to best accommodate dogs in my care. I enjoy taking care of all dogs from puppies to senior pets. *** Please Note: our backyard is fenced on three sides and open to the lake on the fourth side. For this reason, guest dogs will be closely supervised or kept on leash to ensure they don't swim off the property to our neighbors' yards.
