Information Michael A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know their updated shot records, are they allowed on furniture, are they allowed to go to dog parks, are they potty/crate trained, do they bite playfully or seriously, do they have any medical situations or allergies, none of this information will change my answer to watch your pet, I accept all and love all equally but to ensure a safe supervision these are some things I would like to know ?

A typical day

In my home, we do have a dog park and a decent sized backyard, however if the owner requests I not take the dog to the park due to the risks involved with them, I would simply play with them in the house and backyard, walk them around the neighborhood I do not have toys on hand because I believe it’s safer to use toys provided by the owner instead of having community dog toys that multiple dogs and cats would use.

Vet Tech grad -Pet in good hands

Pet care experience

I am a vet tech graduate and can do physical exams basic medical procedures and provide the dog with exceptional hygiene as far as nail trimmings, Baths and teeth brushing I been around dogs my whole life and I love every kind of dog that comes my way, I have a sizable yard that a dog of any size could enjoy themselves in, I scoop the yard frequently to lower risk of parasites and will give whatever dog that passes through my home a free physical exam and let it be known if its required that the dog go see the veterinarian or not. I am available full time at the current moment and I have cared for dogs for mostly my whole life whether it be mine or a family members. (Update) I am a completed grad and have hospital experience and am taking pets again to have under professional care I work full time my schedule will change on a weekly basis however, I would be more than happy to work with you around that. I will give them ample attention, play with them, give them a small medical check up if requested, take bathroom breaks frequently, they will sleep in my room, take them on 1-2 walks a day, and they will constantly have access to water.

My fur baby had a great time. He was stressed and was able to easily adjust to his surroundings. We were updated consistently on the daily activities. Michael is very professional and patient with both pet and owner. I will definitely use his service again in the near future.

Michael was great! He was able to help me out with a last minute request and took really good care of my pup. He checked in, sent updates, and made sure my dog was doing well the whole time. Super reliable , I’ll definitely book with him again!
