Get ready for a waggin' good time!

Dear Pet Parent, Having been raised around dogs and now sharing my life with two playful puppies, Atlas and Luna, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the unique needs of pets at every stage of life. Recently, I also became a first-time cat mom to Saryn—named after a character from the video game where my husband and I first met! At our home, your beloved pet will enjoy doggy daycare or boarding, socializing with Atlas and Luna, while you avoid the hassle of in-home pet sitting. With both my husband, Chris, and I working full-time from home, we ensure every guest receives plenty of love, attention, and care—just as if they were part of our family. We look forward to welcoming your furry friend into our home and giving you peace of mind while you enjoy a well-deserved vacation! Warm regards, Michelle, Chris, Atlas, Luna, & Saryn

Boarding • janv. 26, 2023

Michelle and Chris did a great job handling our puppy's first time away from home, including gracefully and creatively dealing with the unexpected. (Thank you!) Clearly "dog people", we left with peace of mind that Nova was in a trustworthy environment. She kept in touch, and was very responsive when needed. Her dogs Atlas and Luna were great companions too. We highly recommend Michelle,and she is top on our call list for next time.

Michelle is wonderful! She is a kindhearted caring individual who takes passion in everything she does. Her love for animals really shows, she takes care of others as if they were her own. She is definitely someone you can rely on and would make an exceptional sitter!

If Michelle's two dogs Atlas and Luna could, they're tell your dog how much fun staying with her is going to be. Michelle regularly takes Atlas and Luna around the neighborhood and has trained them to do a variety of different tricks. From going on adventures outdoors to cuddles indoors, I'm confident Michelle will take great care of your furry family members.

House Sitting • juil. 13, 2019

Michelle was very energetic, friendly and professional. She setup a pre-visit to come meet Dominic (and the rabbits) and to get and understanding of his routines. She took great care of him and sent several photos and did a great job of cleaning of after his messes (still housetraining). Highly recommend!

Michelle is a wonderful sitter! Our elderly Bichin Frise enjoyed his extended stay with her and her two dogs, Atlas, and Luna. Michelle sent us text messages and photos of our dog so that we could see how well he was doing. He was relaxed and happy when we picked him up and it looked like he wanted to stay longer. Our thanks to Michelle for providing our dog with such a great experience! We definitely will book Michelle for future stays and highly recommend her to other dog parents.

Michelle has been a dog lover all her life. She currently has two puppies that she dotes on. She is very affectionate with them as well as very sensitive to their needs. She has the ability to understand their behavior and take the appropriate action to feed, walk, soothe, play, and care for them. One of her puppies is very high-strung and yet she is very calm and patient with him. I highly recommend Michelle to care for your pet.

Schedule

Each morning begins with belly rubs and a refreshing walk to start your furry friend's day on the right paw. After our stroll, they'll enjoy a delicious breakfast thoughtfully prepared to remind them of home. As I catch up on emails, your pup will have the time of their life playing tug of war with Atlas, while Luna supervises from her favorite spot. Later, we'll set out on a leisurely stroll to Fairland Recreational Park, giving them plenty of time to explore and enjoy the great outdoors. Back home, it's time for a cozy afternoon nap. The dogs often cuddle up together, recharging for the rest of the day. When they wake, we’ll have a quick burst of playtime before dinner—a satisfying meal they'll love. After dinner, another walk helps wind down the day. Then, we’ll relax together, perhaps watching their favorite nature show. With a final bathroom break, your pup will settle into their comfy playpen, ready for sweet dreams and another fun-filled day tomorrow!
