Pet care experience
Though I was raised with many different types of pets, I’ve always had a connection with dogs. I was finally able to get my own dog (yellow lab) in my later twenties when I bought my first house. One year later, I acquired another dog (shih-tzu/poodle mix) to have as a buddy for my yellow lab - they were together for 12+ years. Getting involved in dog boarding has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Since I already work from home as a freelance graphic designer, I thought, why not add in dog boarding too! My family and I are dog lovers! I provide a fun, but calm atmosphere, so your dog(s) will be happy when they’re here, when they go home, and when they return! I work from home, so I have the time to care for your dog(s) individually. All dogs are fed morning and night unless instructed differently. Also, all dogs are let out within every two hours during the day, and right before bedtime. • My family and I are all dog lovers - your dog(s) become part of my family! • Because they feel calm, their adjustment time is usually within an hour or two. • My furniture is covered, so that's available for them lay and nap on. • If your dog(s) uses a crate to sleep in at night, I have a designated area in family room of my house. • I always set up a Meet & Greet before booking any-and-all dogs to make sure your dog(s) and my regulars will all be safe and get along
Reviews
Mike was absolutely wonderful caring for our dog, Cleo. He sent pictures regularly and provided a safe, fun, welcoming environment that Cleo clearly enjoyed. We've tried a number of other boarding services where Cleo came home disheveled and clearly stressed from the experience. In Mike's care Cleo came home happy, freshly bathed, and looked as if she had spent a week in a dog spa. Mike, thank you so much! You cared for Cleo as if she were your own family pet. We feel so lucky to have connected with you! We will definitely be back!
This was our first time boarding with Mike, and we will definitely do it again! Barney loved his new furry friends, and we loved the pictures and videos of Barney enjoying the large fenced-in backyard and the comfortable indoor living space. Thanks, Mike!
Mike is top notch. Very professional and very caring. I enjoyed receiving pictures every morning and seeing how happy my dog was. I highly recommend Mike.
I highly recommend Mike! He was very easy and pleasant to work with, very responsive and friendly. Would definitely use him again in the future.
