Our dogs LOVED staying with Michael. He has a pack of his own that welcomed our two dogs in quickly and seamlessly. He takes pet safety very seriously and handled introductions slowly and with great attention to our dogs. I know they were spoiled and loved like his own while there! They had a space just for themselves while still being able to run and play with his dogs. Michael sent us photos and updates regularly and whenever we asked, was extremely professional and communicative in booking, and worked with our schedule easily.

I have worked with Mike for the last 12 years. His love of dogs is very apparent in his everyday life. He has owned his own dogs for as long as I've known him and has started fostering dogs in the last few years and takes wonderful care of them. I would trust him wholeheartedly with my pet.

Mike has taken care of my two Australian Shepherds many times. Never an issue. Both dogs love him. He has fostered out several dogs for adoption. He goes out of his way to show each dog he cares for them.

Mike has never met a dog. He doesn’t love, especially a German Shepherd. He has three characteristics that make him an exceptional advocate for dogs. Firstly, he has an unparalleled knowledge of dog behavior. Secondly, he is devoted to helping and nurturing dogs of all breeds. Finally, he is patient and caring with the dogs in his charge. It is with pride and confidence that I can recommend him for this position.
