Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and make sure dogs are always supervised while outside. I currently don’t have other pets in my home, so your dog will have a calm environment and my full attention. I also have reliable transportation and can safely transport dogs if needed. 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.

Michael was great! Quick responses and great with my dog! She came home exhausted but happy! Will definitely be calling him again for future sittings:)

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!

Michael has done a fantastic job caring for our high energy dog Fitz. It’s so helpful to know we have someone who’s going to give him the love and attention he needs while we’re away.

Michael has cared for our Golden Retriever numerous times from his puppy to senior stages. Michael has the energy to handle the excited pup but also the insight to care for our dog as he's now in his senior years. Our instructions and concerns are always carried out, and we never have to worry about leaving our dog in Michaels hands.
