“If you are looking for someone that is passionate about animals then look no further. Akyia C. is much like a fur whisperer and is able to engage with them on a whole new level.

16. Michael K.
“Mike did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away! His house is super dog friendly, with plenty of space for the dogs to play and relax. Both the front and backyard are fully fenced, which was a huge plus. My dog loved running around and exploring, and I felt great knowing she was safe and secure. He took the time to learn my dog’s routine and preferences, making sure she got plenty of exercise and love. He also kept me in the loop with how my dog was doing and sent a few pictures. It was great to see my dog happy and enjoying her stay. I couldn’t be happier with the care Michael provided. If you’re looking for a safe, welcoming place to board your dog, especially with plenty of outdoor space, I highly recommend him. I’ll definitely be back!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 2 years while working at a doggy daycare. My skillset ranges from distributing medications to ensuring dietary needs are always met! I have worked with senior dogs and puppies alike. I understand the importance of routine, affection, safe play, and creating a loving environment for your pup. I can’t wait to give your dog the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! I am available 7 days a week in the summer. During the school year, I am only available on weekends or breaks. You can check my calendar for details. I can provide walking, playtime, dog-sitting, and more! Your pup will always be seen every 2-4 hours in my care! I have a friendly little girl named Cookie and 2 cats who mind their own business. I prefer to take care of dogs inside of their home, but I am able to bring a dog to my house! I take my pup out every 2 hours and she is always playing. I will make sure your pet gets the same love and attention!
