Information Michael B. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know all the specifics you want to share. Dietary guidelines, routines, and restrictions are most important. Sleep habits and creature comforts are key to a good overnight stay.

A typical day

I’m highly adaptable to what your pup will need. My favorite activities include playing tennis ball fetch in the backyard or beach! I usually go on multiple and sometimes long walk. I love our local beaches and parks along the Bay!

Pet care experience

I’ve owned dogs & cats my whole life. Currently raising a new puppy, Mayzie, alongside our two cats, Oreo & Pebbles. We’ve benefited from others taking care of our pets and we want to pay it forward. I’m reliable, professional, communicative, work from home full time, attentive to pet needs, can pick up & drop off, have a crate for use, can separate or let pets play, Vet is 5 minutes way, & have a big fenced backyard. I will give you piece of mind your pet is in a loving home while you’re away. I always provide minimum 3 or more dog walks a day while home. There’s lots of backyard fetch and fresh air. I follow the routines you request. And ensure your furry friend will have a premium stay experience with us!

Michael was such a blessing for us during our vacation! Picked up our two 100lb boys (one of which is super nervous around strangers) gave pictures and a summary after every walk. Extremely professional and a great communicator. We will definitely have Michael in our trusted circle for our pups! Thank you Michael x1000!

As I write this, I'm still traveling. Michael B was great, gave Nico a wonderful time and good care. The handover to another Rover Boarder went well, during which he gave a detailed report and walked Nico before releasing him. It was my first time using Michael's services and am happy with it.
