“Michele saved my life, I always take my dog everywhere but for obvious reasons I couldn't go to Cedar Point. I contacted her and she quickly said yes. She walked her and took care of her until the afternoon. She sent me photos so I could check her status with my dog. Highly recommended. Thanks Michele.”
“This was my first time using David and he is FANTASTIC!!! He is very responsive. I got plenty of pictures and updates during Rocco's stay. I could tell Rocco was having a great time and was well taken care of. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of Rocco!”

“We can't say enough about Margaret and the care she took of our beloved dog, Maisy. She sent many updates wih great pictures and we felt so comfortable that we had left our dog , for only the second time, in he care.

About: I cared for a wonderful Pomeranian for 17 years, giving me extensive experience with small breeds and senior dogs. For the past two years, I’ve also been dog sitting a friend’s Maltipoo, who stays with me for extended periods. These experiences have strengthened my ability to provide patient, attentive, and reliable care for dogs of all ages and personalities. When caring for any pet, their needs are always my top priority. I’m home often, which means every pet in my care receives plenty of loving attention, along with frequent bathroom breaks and walks throughout the day. Your pet will always feel cared for, comfortable, and never overlooked. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel comfortable. Every pet receives individual attention, plenty of affection, and care tailored to their needs so they feel happy and secure while in my care.

We were given the flexibility of a meet and greet, but even without, the numerous photos were reassuring of my dog’s comfortability in Tina and Rick’s home.
