About Us
Who We Are
We are Michelle and Brian, and our hearts are wide open for animals. Besides ourselves, we are lucky to share our home with four snuggly shelter rescues: Juander, Yzma, Penny (the ultimate floof!), and Little Kitty Underfoot Pumpernickel.
We recently enjoyed a 5-month road trip with our two dogs, Juander and Yzma. The time spent with them really helped us realize that caring for them and spending time with our animals sincerely helps them AND us.

Why
Having shared our home with pets for so many years, we understand the demand for quality pet care by people who “get it.” Pets are family, period.
Being naturally detail-oriented and actually enjoying pet time, we’re pleased to care for your non-human companions when you can’t. Are you planning a trip or perhaps Barkley needs a ride to the vet? Is that meeting going longer than expected? Can’t say no to an unexpected dinner with the boss? Car acting up and can’t get home for the lunchtime dog walk? Family emergency and you need to head out ASAP? While plans are great, we also understand that life happens and last-minute things pop up. We’re happy to step in and do our best to be available to cover the unexpected.
Experience
We’ve personally been caring for animals for decades and have decided to put into practice that which we’re already happily doing for friends and family. Between us, we also have hands-on veterinary experience and over five years’ experience volunteering with farm animals.
We have shared the joys of puppies and kittens as well as the difficult times with chronically ill pets so we understand the spectrum from rambunctious to mellow to needing quiet gentleness.
A few of our extracurricular highlights have included a rescue of 11 baby rats, aiding injured or helpless wildlife (primarily birds and rabbits), and had the experience of federally protected birds nesting in our chimney. (Most wouldn’t appreciate that but it was a unique experience and ultimately, we were happy to help them on their migration.)
