4. Micah T.


“This is the second time Micah has watched Biscuit. She is excellent. Biscuit my cat, seems to like and remember her. I always feel guilty leaving my cat especially for 6 days. Her daily reports and fantastic photography made me feel alittle better about leaving him. There was even one photo where she was scratching under his chin, his current favorite spot.”

About: We have two dogs, one is seiko who is an 14 year old Siberian husky-female.She has tamed down a lot over the years but our second dog blaze is a 5 year old husky mix male who has a lot of energy. So we are well versed in a high energy dog. I used to foster for rescues and have dogs at the house. We have a 6ft fenced yard. We are also trained in diggers as we have two ourselves. We walk our dogs multiple times a day and could easily include your pup. We both work from home, 8:00 am to 4:30pm. If we take on a dog to board or sit for the day we would be home the whole time they are in our care. We work full time from home. We would have no reason to leave your dog alone while they are in our care. If one had to leave, the other care taker would stay to be sure we are there for your dog. We have a fenced yard and two kennels If dogs ever needed to be separated. We however would only ever kennel for the safety of the animal and would have no other reason to do it. Our home is your dogs home. We have no issue with them on our furniture unless you don't want that in that case we can block furniture. We work Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm EST. We have the ability before and after our shifts but work from home; therefore, if we board your animals, we are with them while working. We have a fenced yard and can crate your animal if needed. Our dogs are friendly and would keep your animals company. We do daily walks, as well.
