Pet care experience

I was a dog owner for 13 years. I have watched many dogs in my air conditioned home, Simply safe protected home for family and friends in the past. I let them have the run of the house and never cage them, even if I have to leave to run out for a few minutes. I allow them to join me on my sofa and if they come on my bed, that's OK too. Being retired, I'm home most of the time and I'm able to let them out in my yard whenever they want. I always keep water outside as well as in the house in the summer. Feel free to bring their own bedding and toys to make them feel more at home. I send pictures of your pet to you while you are away and you can call me anytime to see how things are going. You can be sure your pet will be cared for just like you care for them. Bookings must be a minimum of 4 days. In good weather, I allow dogs to play in the fenced yard and play fetch with them if they like. I keep water outside during the warm summer weather for your pets comfort. I have a fenced yard which gives complete security. I'm home the majority of the day, so I can let dogs out whenever they want.

Michael is amazing. He did great providing us updates on our dog. Michael did not have any problems taking care of Max. They had a great time! Will definitely go for him again.

Highly recommend Michael to care for your pup! He treated my dog like his own and even went above and beyond for her by getting her allergy medicine when I was out of town. My dog gets anxious on wood floors and he made sure to lay out carpets for her so she was comfortable. Michael gave daily updates and pics too. Remi had so much fun there and I will definitely be rebooking with Michael in the future.

Michael was great! Lou seemed to settle in right away and was very comfortable during his stay.
