Highlights
Pet care experience
Michael & Joanna
Hi! We’re Michael and Joanna—best friends and lifelong dog lovers offering in-home boarding and daycare from our home. We specialize in caring for small dogs, especially those with separation anxiety who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. Michael has over 25 years of personal dog ownership experience, and Joanna brings 20 years of professional boarding experience. Together, we provide a calm, loving environment that helps dogs feel safe and at ease while their owners are away. We can also help with socialization and crate training as part of our daily routine. Every dog in our care is treated like family, with plenty of one-on-one attention and regular updates for pet parents. References are available upon request—we’d love to care for your pup!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Michael and Joanna took excellent care of our pets while we were on vacation. Our dog Georgie has a special diet and needs two insulin shots a day, and they handled his feeding and meds routine exactly as we hoped. He also got plenty of much‑needed canine companionship during his stay, which helps keep up his energy as a senior pooch. Our cat Sheba had her own comfortable quarters, and everything was well-organized with the pets’ comfort in mind. They also sent regular pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. Great sitters and a great Rover experience all around!
Angel seemed to be so happy when she returned from staying with Michael and Joanna. That is wonderful.
Absolutely love Joanna!!! My 6 month Maltipoo had so much fun!!! Joanna sent daily videos and updates which made me feel like my puppy was in great hands. 100% will be returning and I highly recommend.
My Munchkin had a great time here! Will definitely be bringing him more often. The details on how he was getting along and whether he was able to eat his meals is greatly appreciated! The pictures are so nice to have too especially in the beginning when you’re not sure if he will play right away. Yes he did! :)
These guys were great. Sent lots of pics and described Annie's goings on in a way that let us know they really paid attention to her. Annie looked great when we picked her up and I'll bet she enjoyed her vacation (all she every thinks about is snacks anyway!)
Benny had a great experience during his stay! I got plenty of picture/video updates and he was having fun with the other pups in all of them. He had so much fun that he fell asleep immediately after being picked up. He also received a little good bag with treats, a toy and a bandanna. He also had a fresh smell and no tear stains on his face. We will definitely be booking next time!

Safety, trust & environment
I have three chi-weenies that enjoy a fenced yard, front and back. If needed, I can easily and comfortably crate your pups but they are welcome to be next to me on the sofa or wherever.
