READY to Dogsitt :)

Both my dogs rocky and Duke recently passed away after 12 years. I really want another dog but not sure what breed. So i figured why not babysitt and see if i like a certain breed. There are so many choices !! I live in the forest with chickens. Lots of room. Quiet.. safe .. i have all the equipment needed to take care of your pets. They can sleep next to me or on their bed. I will give them lots of attention while you are gone. Available 24 / 7. Emergency boarding if needed. I work 5 minutes away and off 4 days a week.. my girl is home most days by 1 pm. So we will be present most of the time.

Michael est très gentil. Quand nous sommes arrivés mon chien était très à l’aise. Généralement mon chien est anxieux. Il nous écrit pour nous dire comment se passe le séjour. Merci à toi, nous avons passé un beau week-end sans ce soucier si notre chien était bien ou non.

Really nice couple. Zulu had a great time. He arrived exhausted. Which is always a bonus! Would highly recommend.

We cannot recommend Michael highly enough! He was absolutely incredible with our fur babies, one of whom is a gentle giant at 160 lbs and handled everything with such confidence, kindness, and care. From the moment we met him, it was clear how naturally he connects with dogs. He gave them endless love, attention, and patience. Not only did Michael go above and beyond for our pups, but he also took exceptional care of our home. Everything was spotless when we returned, and we had complete peace of mind knowing both our pets and house were in such capable hands. Michael is trustworthy, dependable, and a true dog whisperer. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family and goes the extra mile in every way, Michael is your person. We’d book him again in a heartbeat. Thank you for being such a rock star, Michael! <3

Michael est un excellent gardien pour Mowgli qui n’est pas un chien facile. Mon chien a beaucoup d’énergie et il est revenu si fatigué, il semble avoir eu un weekend de rêve! J’ai beaucoup apprécié les photos et vidéos envoyées. Il réponds aussi toujours très rapidement. Je vous recommande Michael n’importe quand!

Michael looked after our dog for two days. He gave us regular reports. He looked after our dog’s pills and took her on many walks as well. Luna was obviously well-looked after and we were really at ease and pleased. We hope we will be to use Michael’s services again. Highly recommend.
