While I don’t keep a crate on hand, I’m happy to accommodate one if you provide it and can easily transport it when necessary.

Information Michael C. would like to know about your pet

Just be upfront about your dog’s personality and habits so I can take care of them properly. If they’re a puppy, tend to nip, pull on walks, or try to bolt out the door, that’s all good — just let me know ahead of time so I can be prepared. I don’t have strict breed preferences, but I do appreciate knowing what to expect so I can make sure everything goes smoothly and safely.

A typical day

A typical day depends on your dog’s energy and routine. For active dogs, we’ll get plenty of walks, playtime, and fetch. If they’re more laid-back, we’ll keep things relaxed with shorter walks and hanging out. I’m big on keeping dogs comfortable and happy, whether that’s playing, exploring the neighborhood, or just giving them attention and company. If your dog enjoys water and you’re comfortable with it, I also have access to a lake nearby for an occasional change of scenery.

Your Dog’s New Best Friend

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have always loved being around them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors care for their dogs—whether that meant daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or watching them in my own home. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

We had a great experience with Micheal. He communicated well- before and during Rip’s care. We appreciated the pictures he shared throughout Rip’s stay along with the updates in the change in plans. Micheal is intelligent and fully capable of caring for Rip in the future. We will be using him again for a much longer stay.

Michael took great care of our two dogs during our trip. Highly recommended and would definitely let him care for our pups again!

Michael did a great job looking after our German shepherd, Kainoa. She enjoyed going on walks with him and playing fetch in his fenced backyard! Michael was very attentive to our instructions regarding Kai's care. Will definitely book with him again!
