Pet care experience
Puppy Playdates & Family Snugs
I’m a stay-at-home mom and part-time hairstylist living in a cozy, dog-friendly townhome in Mission Viejo with my husband, our two young daughters, and our Bernedoodle, Winnie. I personally handle all pet care — feeding, walks, playtime, and supervision. While we don’t have a yard, we enjoy multiple daily walks and relaxed patio time. I prioritize dogs that are house-trained, well-mannered, and comfortable in a family home setting. If your pup enjoys companionship, structure, and a loving environment, I’d be happy to host them

Safety, trust & environment
We live in a clean, pet-friendly 3-story townhome. Dogs have access to the first and second floors, plus supervised patio time. While we don’t have a yard, we provide frequent walks and attentive care. Please note: • Dogs must be fully house-trained • Must be comfortable with stairs and a multi-level home • Leash-trained and used to outdoor potty breaks • No destructive or escape-prone behaviors We’re committed to a safe, loving environment that feels like home. Let us know your pup’s routines — we’re happy to accommodate when possible.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you Michelle! Daisy has so much fun with your family and Winnie
Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Penny! I was updated with pictures and updates on how Penny was doing the entire time. Michelle and her family are so loving and caring, definitely trustworthy. Highly recommend and already know Penny will look forward to her next stay hopefully :) Meet and greet was a smart way to get Penny comfortable with the environment!
Michelle was absolutely patient with my 1 year old golden retriever who is not use to being in new places! She updated me on what she’s doing ! And also provided food for her when we needed to extend her stay last minute. Will sure be booking with her again!
Michelle and her family were such great sitters for Mia. She was really responsive and sent lots of photos and videos while we were away. Would love to use Michelle next time we are out of town!
Michelle really helped us out by accepting our last minute booking. Her home and family were warm and welcoming and our Golden Retriever seemed to have a great time playing with Winnie and the kids! We would definitely book with Michelle again!
Daisy May loves staying with Michelle and her family. Their dog Winnie is a perfect playmate for Daisy. They are best of friends now. Daisy also gets a lot of hugs from Michelle and Jacob's daughters. They are sooo sweet. Daisy got plenty of exercise with walks and playtime with Winnie. Daisy is a doggy door user to do her business so it was nice she had that option vs. doing it on her walks. I am very happy to have found Michelle! We travel a lot so it's it's nice to know Daisy will be well taken care of when we are gone.

Schedule
Hello, I’m Michelle! I’m a stay-at-home mom and part-time hairstylist, and I typically take clients on the weekends when my husband is home with our girls. I’m home all week during the weekdays, which allows me to be fully present with your pup and provide consistent care and attention. I walk our dog throughout the day while my husband is at work. He’s usually home by 3 PM and loves taking our dog for morning and afternoon walks before and after work. Pets are naturally part of our daily rhythm—with multiple walks, time on the patio, and lots of love and snuggles throughout the day. Your dog will be treated like part of our family.
