“Jenny is AMAZING! My senior little lady normally dislikes other people and she fell in love with Jenny. She was asking to be pet by Jenny in front of me when I came for pick up. I’ve had several dog sitters over the last 10 years and Jenny is the best. She cares deeply for the dogs in her care and it shows.”

About: Every dog is treated like family and cared for in a quiet, low-stress (300 acre) farm environment designed around their comfort and routine. With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in small-scale, boutique boarding with a very limited number of dogs at a time, ensuring close attention, consistency, and a calm atmosphere. Dogs follow a steady, predictable routine that includes outdoor time in a large fenced play area with partial shade for running and play, daily leash walks around the property, enrichment activities, and rest tailored to each dog’s individual needs and energy level. Dogs are thoughtfully matched by temperament to support a safe, comfortable environment. I have two well-socialized dogs of my own who enjoy other dogs, but interaction is always based on each visiting dog’s comfort level. If a dog prefers space or does best without other dogs, they can have a calm, low-traffic stay with minimal or no interaction. For dogs who enjoy socializing, my dogs provide friendly companionship in a supervised, relaxed setting. For dogs who do best on their own, I also offer the option of exclusive care—meaning no other client dogs will be booked during their stay. This allows for a fully personalized experience with my full attention. Dogs stay in a clean, climate-controlled indoor suite with indoor rest areas and direct access to a private fenced outdoor space. The focus is on individualized, attentive care where each dog can relax, feel secure, and settle in quickly. Caring for your dog is part of my daily routine since I’m home full-time on the 300 acre farm with the dogs throughout the day. Dogs enjoy a consistent schedule that includes outdoor play, walks, enrichment, meals, and rest, all tailored to their individual needs and energy levels. I stay hands-on with their care and provide regular updates so you feel comfortable while you're away. I provide structured, attentive care in a calm farm setting designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. Dogs enjoy outdoor play, leash walks, enrichment activities, meals, and rest breaks tailored to their individual needs and energy levels. I provide regular up-dates with photos and videos, and you can check in any time to see how your pup is doing. Dogs have access to a clean, climate-controlled indoors, which is especially helpful for dogs who need their own space or do best with limited interaction. Since I also have two dogs of my own, I carefully manage introductions and can provide fully separate accommodations with no direct contact with other dogs if needed. There’s also a separate large fenced and partially shaded outdoor area where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax throughout the day.

“Michelle was excellent, our normal dog sitter bailed on us last minute after saying she would accept the job. I contacted Michelle last minute and she accepted our request instantly. A true life saver. Thank god for Michelle, she saved the day. Michelle was extremely friendly about it. I can not thank her enough. She has a wonderful fenced in backyard where the dogs can run. Her own dog Spetka got along great with GG, it was was very nice to know she had a good doggy friend to play with. Not to mention the awesome friendly sitter, her husband was an amazing guy also. I will continue to use Michelle in the future and would absolutely recomend her to anyone. Thank you again so Michelle for your life saving help. ?”

About: Loved and cared for animals my whole life. With about six years of experience in the veterinary field, I currently work as a receptionist at a clinic in Hoover, AL, and have been pet sitting for about three years. I am a proud owner of four dogs, and we absolutely love having extra company and making new friends! I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring that they feel at home with us. I currently work full time, but I still make sure to allow plenty of time for playing and interacting with your pets! I am available for drop offs and pickups after 6 pm during weekdays. I have a 6ft chain link fence for potty breaks and play times and your pet is never left outside unattended. My 4 dogs loves making new friends but if your pet seems a bit shy about meeting my dogs, I’ll separate them and rotate the rooms with my dogs and your pet. This way, everyone can get some love and time to explore the house, and your pet will feel more comfortable. They can even treat my home as their own and are welcome on the furniture and bed for snuggles. During feeding time, I feed each pet in their own crate or in separate rooms to prevent any accidents.
