Pet care experience

My house is your house

I have a lot of space outside for them to run around and play. My home has a good amount of space for them to be active in or just relax. My brother is a dog trainer as well so I've been around dogs for a long time. Why I love dog sitting My whole life. Ever since I was little my family always had dogs. From big German Shepards to little Shiatsu. So I've been around them for many years. Also friends have dogs that I've visited like dobermans, rottweilers, and pitbulls. I like all types of dogs. About my yard A good amount of space for the dog to run around and enjoy the fresh air. My experience administering medication Yes I don't mind.

We have been using the same dog sitter for years, but unfortunately she wasn’t going to be available for our upcoming trip. I was nervous starting the search again, and it was a bit of a process, but as soon as I met Michael’s family, I knew my pup would feel at home and be well cared for. They had excellent communication, were flexible, and welcomed our girl in to their family as their own. They were invested in keeping her routine stable to minimize any stress she would feel in a new environment. I feel so lucky that I found Michael and his family and would happily use them again!

Mike was able to help on very short notice. He is kind and caring. Abby is having a good time with him and the family.

Michael and his family were amazing while we on vacation out of the country for 2 weeks. He sent us updates and photo’s. We could tell he bonded and enjoyed his time with them. Mac was very happy to see us we could tell he enjoyed his there. I’d book them again and can’t express enough how happy I am for the care they provided for my dog.

A typical day

We can go for walks around the neighborhood or hang out in the back yard. We have dog parks are the area if they do well with other dogs too. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Where ever you would like him/her to sleep. I am not picky at all. Time I'll spend with your dog. My wife is home all day and I work durring the day. But we are both home bodies and if we go out the dog is more then welcome to tag along.
