About: Hi there! I'm an experienced pet care professional with years in the industry — including managing a busy pet resort — and I would be thrilled to care for your furry family members! Your pets will enjoy a cozy stay in my home, with access the the entire home, complete with a dedicated “dog room," cameras in every room of the home for 24/7 surveillance and a large 6-foot privacy-fenced backyard for safe outdoor play. I’m Pet CPR Certified and a Fear Free Certified Professional, trained to recognize and respond to signs of fear, stress, and anxiety in pets. I provide a peaceful, low-stress environment where your pet can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments — including seniors, shy pets, high-energy dogs, and those with anxiety or aggression. I'm also comfortable giving: -Pills and tablets -Injections (including insulin) -Inhalers and specialized care ✅ Dual Insured: I carry private pet care insurance in addition to Rover’s protection, so you can feel 100% confident that your pet is in safe, reliable hands. 🩺 Vaccination Requirements: Dogs: Rabies, Distemper (DHPP), Bordetella Cats: Rabies, Distemper (FVRCP) Puppies/Kittens: Must be current on age-appropriate vaccines I highly recommend flea/tick/dewormer prevention for all pets. Please upload or send a clear photo of your pet’s vaccination records when requesting a booking. 🏡 Will my pet be around other animals? I do offer multi-family boarding, meaning your pet may stay alongside other boarders and my own friendly pets. However, I have multiple rooms available to separate dogs who need their own space or are reactive. If you prefer a private boarding experience where your pet is the only guest, just message me — I’m happy to accommodate when possible!

“I have been so happy with her and can’t say enough about how great she has been. She responds promptly and is great at keeping us up to date with our fur babies. Would recommend her to everyone”



“Michelle gave me peace of mind by checking in on my cats and sending pictures each day while I was out of town. So glad she was able to help despite it being a holiday, and a bit of a drive for her. She was always available over text and always so nice. Thank you Michelle!”


About: Hi, I'm Lexie. I am high-masking autistic, which for me means that I look and sound pretty "normal" but my brain is structured differently. My special interest is dogs! Mainly behavior but also history, breeds, care... Anything dog. I am a dog-trainer-in-training currently pursuing certifications that will help me teach dogs with behavioral issues that the world is ok! I am experienced with multi-dog homes that need "crate and rotate" care, "hands off" care, puppy care, and if you leave instructions I could do just about anything- I am not bothered by reptiles, amphibians, non-flying (pet or feeder) bugs, although I am nervous of birds. I'm very detail oriented. My background in home healthcare ensures that your home and pet(s) will be respected, and I am comfortable administering oral or topical medications. My availability is from 9am-5pm Monday-Thursday, Fridays from 8am-3pm. On Fridays, my 5 year old is home with me and will likely accompany me to drop-ins. She is dog savvy (for her age) and is respectful of dogs and cats, but since she is small I can only visit cats and well-mannered pups! I am a fan of cooperative techniques. I would rather spend 15 minutes strategizing how to entice "Fluffy" back in their crate than try to force them. For potty visits, I prefer to clip a long drag line to the dogs harness or collar- just in case they don't respond to a recall from me, or if there is any chance at all they might make a break for it! That way, we can still play and have fun, but with a safe guard in place. For walks, I will always want to specify if you are wanting a structured walk or a sniffari, or a combination. Structured walking is only available to dogs that already know how to walk on a loose leash. If you are interested in loose leash walking, that is something we can work on! For feeding or medications, I will need exact instructions! How much food, what you use to measure it (example: 1 full scoop with the blue cup on the counter, 8oz raw thawed in fridge, fill up the black kong, etc), and amount of supplements or extras. For oral meds, please specify if it needs to be "hidden" and what to hide it in (wet food, pb, etc.)

I love brushing and bathing dogs so let me know if that something your pet needs. I would love to spend time with your dog. My family would make sure to provide plenty of play time, snooze time, and bathroom breaks. My schedule can be fairly flexible, but I can organize a set schedule for your pet also. I am available during the week most mornings and every the afternoon to take your dog for a walk to break up his/her day. I have a large back yard. My three children would give snuggles and tire your pup out during the day. If you have a less social dog I also have a quiet place for your pet to relax. I am working part time. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 8:30-4:00. My summer hours are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday 8:30am-12:00pm. Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday I would be home all day. My schedule allows me to be available to care for your pet and give the plenty of my time and attention. We love dogs and have two of our own. They are part of our family. We would treat your pet as part of our family while they stayed with us. Message me for any additional information or questions you may have.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have taken care of them as well. I’m currently in school to be a vet tech so this is what I’m best at! I’m currently a stay at home mom but I’m available for check ins/walks throughout the week and the weekends. My schedule will be updated often. I prefer to come to your home for check ins and pet care. I feel the pet will feel safer in their own home and environment and won’t be so stressed in a new place with somebody they aren’t familiar with.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of various ages and temperaments. I currently have two dogs of my own, a 3 year old and an 8 year old, both of whom I’ve raised from a young age. One of my dogs is an indoor companion, while the other is a well-trained outdoor dog. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have shown dogs of various breeds and have collaborated with breeders, which has provided me with valuable insight into different training techniques and dog behaviors. I’m passionate about spending quality time with dogs, whether it’s through daily walks, adventures on rail trails, or simply enjoying their company. I believe that understanding and adapting to each dog’s unique personality is key to providing exceptional care and building a strong bond. My approach focuses on trust, consistency, and creating a positive environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I work full-time as a CNA, in long term care facility. I have a set schedule and work three days a week which leaves me time to spend time with your fur babies. I work every Tuesday, and every other Wednesday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday. At times, I will have 5 days off in a row. I have time on my days off to stay home with them and spend as much time as possible. I provide exceptional care for animals in a comfortable, home-like environment. In my home, I ensure that all their needs are met, including medication administration, playtime, and baths upon request. I offer a variety of toys and treats to keep them engaged and happy. Additionally, I have a dedicated, remodeled dog room equipped with everything a dog could need for a safe and enjoyable stay.

I would be home or available most of the time to care for your furry friend. I grew up with all different types of dogs and I would treat your dog as if it were my own. I will try to stick to your pets normal routine to make them feel safe and secure. Please let me know if you need anymore information! I know it can be tough going away leaving your animal behind; even if it's just going to work, school, etc. I will do my best to meet the needs of your animal as well as yours! I am currently only dog walking right now for employment. I don't have a set schedule and am very flexible with times, days, weekends, and holidays. I base my care of pets on the service, location, personality, and needs. Every pet is different and I make sure to stick to what they like and their routine if they have one.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 years old. I’ve taken care of many types of animals including, medically disabled, elderly, and infant. I’m currently working 2-4 days a week (part time hrs) at my job as well as going to college twice a week. I’m able to make stops before and after work as well and before and after classes. I can also stay in home if wanted. My main priorities are making animals feel comfortable and loved. I want them to know that I am a safe person to be around. For my animals at home I always make sure they are fed on time and played with to the fullest extent. Sadly animals don’t have the longest lives so I pride myself on making their lives the best possible!
