The "Jane Goodall" of dogs

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Michael, I'm a student and veteran of the US Air Force living in Boone to study Sustainable Development at Appalachian State. As lifelong pet owner, having grown up with several dogs at a time, I know all the behavior needed to approach new dogs and have them on your side quickly. I've cared for all kinds of animals all my life and would love to be able to help them occupationally too. I have owned and raised dogs of every category and size, including those considered "aggressive", and can soothe just about any of them. My home is open to anyone needing to stay, with a yard, multiple rooms and space to be alone if they want. Also, I can give dogs any medications they need or a grooming, I have years of experience cutting hair and using sheers and clippers on clients and pets alike, I'd be glad to give your dogs a bubble bath and a cut if they need. Looking forward to meeting all the new furry faces!

Michael was excellent! He communicated well, and was very prompt in responding to messages. He took great care of our puppy, and sent picture updates of our home upon as well. Michael’s own dog was great with our puppy, and they enjoy playing and snuggling together. All in all, Michael is professional and provides excellent service! Will definitely be looking for him again in the future.

We were very pleased with Michael. We were away from our home because of hurricane Florence and he was able to accommodate us last minute. Also we ended up having to leave the area prior than expected and he went out of his way to refund the additional unused night. That left us very impressed. He was easy to work with, and we never had to wait for a reply. Communication was a breeze. Highly recommend.

I live right next to Greenway trail, which means on any given day your dog will have access to the fields and trails that have been one of my favorite parts of Boone for a long time. I wouldn't miss an opportunity to take them out for a walk and some play time.
