Crate-free, in-home dog boarding where your pup gets a fenced-in yard, a real couch to claim, daily photo updates, and a human who's genuinely obsessed with them the entire stay.
"He runs to her at drop-off and doesn't look back." — Tracy F.
I've lived in South Florida my whole life, and I've loved dogs as long as I can remember. That love turned into dog walking, pet sitting, and hands-on care for friends and neighbors well before it ever became a business.
After earning a degree in healthcare management — with a concentration in public and mental health — I started a career in the corporate world. It didn't take me long to realize it wasn't the right fit. I kept pet sitting on the side until I decided to step away from corporate life and pursue what actually fulfilled me.
More than a decade later, I feel incredibly blessed to do this full-time. I've also worked closely with a local rescue and fostered many dogs along the way — from puppies to seniors — and I bring that patience, experience, and compassion to every pup who stays with me.
Three ways to leave your pup in good hands — all crate-free, all in my home.
Your dog stays in my home with full run of the house and the fenced-in yard. Cuddles, playtime, lounging on the furniture, and a real bed (or my bed, let's be honest).
Drop off in the morning, pick up after work. Perfect for long days at the office or pups who get the zoomies when left home alone.
Can't make drop-off or pickup? I'll come to you. Available upon request within the East Boca area — rates depend on location.
Want your pup to go home fresh and clean? Baths are available as an add-on during any stay or daycare visit. Pricing varies by your dog's size and coat type. Please book in advance — last-minute requests can't always be guaranteed.
Every boarding and daycare stay includes the same care, attention, and amenities. No upcharges for the basics. No "premium" tiers.
A peaceful space, calm music, a fenced yard, and a human who actually likes hanging out with your dog.
A peaceful space where dogs are treated like family.Here's everything you need to know before we say hello — hours, policies, and how booking works. Reach out anytime for rates and availability.
Daycare not offered during Spring Break or most holidays.
A Meet & Greet is required before every first booking — no exceptions.
We want to ensure the best fit and a safe, happy stay for every pup. Meet & Greets help us get to know your dog and give you peace of mind!
"From the moment we met her, it was clear how knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely loving she is with dogs. We cannot say enough amazing things about Michelle."
"5+++ stars!!! Maui was so cared for and had a blast. I loved all the pics and videos throughout each day. Will definitely be booking again."
"Teddy had the best time over Thanksgiving! We received multiple pictures and a video along with daily personal messages. Michelle goes above and beyond."
"I would give Michelle 10 stars if I could. Our giant fur baby absolutely loves to go play with the other dogs in the spacious backyard."
"Honestly better than anyone else we've used before. Communication was amazing — tons of pictures and videos. Our dog had the best time."
