The Ruff Life

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, and have two very friendly large dogs. We walk for 2-3 miles everyday regardless of weather, and they love making new friends. I also watch friend’s dogs and cats, when they’ve gone on vacation.

Doggy Day Care • mar. 25, 2026

I booked Michael with only 2 days notice as I had to figure out last minute work travel plans. Booking and during the stay he was responsive and sent me updates throughout the day. He asked questions and we were aligned on daycare expectations. Macy had a messy bathroom accident shortly after I left and I felt that Michael handled this professionally and understanding as a fellow dog parent.

Michael has always been a trusted Rover for us. His two dogs get along great with ours and we’d highly recommend him.

Michael and his dogs were wonderful. He sent pictures and videos of my fur baby throughout the day and I would book with him again in a heartbeat. He treated my boy Max like he was family and I couldn’t have asked for a better person watching my dog.

Doggy Day Care • mar. 10, 2023

River loves playing with other dogs so he had fun and was tired . Loved getting pictures and liked that he got to go on walks also. I would take River there again.

Highly Recommend. Will book again! Michael was the perfect dog sitter! I don't trust my girl with just anyone, and Michael quickly put my worries at ease. From the minute she walked in the door, he treated her like she was his own. I received messages and pictures throughout the day. My dog is high energy, but when she came home, she was TIRED. I knew then that I trusted the right person to care for her. I will be a repeat customer.

Schedule

I work full-time from home as a bank officer, and make my own schedule. This allows me the flexibility to take care of my dogs including bathroom breaks, feeding, and belly rubs!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard, and a 2,500 square foot home for the dogs to roam around and explore! I also have a dog door which allows my dogs to go in and out when they want, and enough space in my room if a dog needs their own space or alone time. In addition, there are trails nearby where I like taking dogs.

Pets

A typical day

We go on two long walks each day. I live near two trails that allows the dogs a chance to see nature. Because my two dogs are sled dogs, rain or shine we do at least 2-3 miles a day.

My preference is for dogs that are not overly hyper, and try not to be the alpha. My dogs are very friendly and tolerant of other dogs.
