Happy Pets, Trusted Care 🐾

Hi, I’m Michelle - a proud dog mom and lifelong animal lover 🫶🏻 Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping your pet safe and happy while you’re away, I will provide trusted & responsible care to treat your best friend just like family! 🏡🐾 Alongside me are my two pups: Reggie, my friendly senior boy who loves neighborhood walks & naps burrowed under his blanket, and my younger pup Pippa, who adores belly rubs, all the snacks, & backyard adventures. Both Reggie & Pippa are social and love making new furry friends, as do I! 🥰 I offer overnight boarding and daycare in my home for dogs, as well as dog walks and drop-in visits for dogs and cats in your home. I prefer to schedule a quick meet & greet before the first visit or stay, but I’m happy to provide care without meeting first if your pet is comfortable and detailed instructions are provided. The safety and happiness of your pet is my top priority ❤️ Daily Rates: Daycare: Up to 10 hours, $3/hr extra for the first dog, $2/hr each additional dog Boarding: Up to 24 hours I carry private pet sitter insurance in addition to the coverage provided by the Rover Guarantee, so you can relax knowing your pets are in loving, responsible hands 💕 Please reach out to me anytime with questions or to schedule a meet & greet!

Safety, trust & environment

My dogs are important members of my family, and I will care for your pet as if they are my own. Reggie, Pippa, and I go on walks in our neighborhood at least twice a day, along with several trips to our backyard to sniff around and play 🦴

Michelle is great with my senior dog Lucy. She took the time to get to know her and is very reliable.

Michelle is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dog while we were out of town— she was so communicative and provided thorough updates through the Rover Cards, which made it so easy for us to enjoy our trip without having to worry about messaging a ton. We would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely look to work with her again anytime we travel!

Our dog was healing from an injury and on some meds, but she’s always in such good care with Michelle, I was able to not worry while we were away!

Schedule

I work full-time in a hybrid role, three days a week in office (downtown Milwaukee) and two days working from home, with weekends and holidays off. I enjoy flexibility in deciding my “at home” days each week, and I can often rearrange my schedule with advance notice. I'm happy to work with you to meet your needs!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Michelle can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your dog or cat has any quirks, routines, or special needs I should be aware of. For boarding in my home, I keep extra supplies on hand but feel free to bring as many of your dog’s items as you like to help them feel most comfortable during their stay! I also appreciate having emergency contact and vet information on file.
