Highlights
Pet care experience
*The Dogfather* Whispering to All
I have had dogs in my life since childhood. I was a kennel technician/manager for a Dog and Cat Boarding Resort for many years. I am versed in the care, feeding and medication (including injections) of dogs & cats. I am also knowledgeable in behavior and discernment of many breeds. I am capable of supervising multiple dogs and regularly had 10-15 dogs in my care daily at work. I also love spending lots of quality one-on-one time. I consider myself to be a very social gentleman, not only with people but with dogs. I have an immense passion for dogs no matter the size or shape or breed. I have lived with and cared for a vast variety of dogs since my childhood days. I currently have one small dog, a Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix. I am a devout Christian,serving as a soldier in the Salvation Army where I serve my Lord & Savior and my community. I have studied, worked with and trained many breeds of dog over the last 40 years with a focus on behavior modification. Large or small, old or new- I love them all! I thank you for your consideration and I would love to meet you and your furry family member(s)!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Everything was perfect with Michael , I was so nervous to leave my baby for the first time. But he was so amazing sending pictures and videos of my puppy
Michael is just the best. Michael really cares about the dogs. Would not want anyone else to care for LB
Michael is wonderful, he replies fast and send updates when I follow up on my pup. He is easygoing and is really good my senior boy Cody. Cody is apprehensive of people but he let’s Michael pick him up. I even saw him giving my senior boy a small kiss and calling him handsome. Drop off and pick up is a breeze. Thank you Michael, you are heavent sent, thank you, I can work knowing Cody is in great care.
Thanks Michael! Appreciate you always being there to watch our pups.
I’ve been bringing my dogs to Michael for years now. I have had other sitters and also used boarding kennels in the past. He is hands down the best.
Michael always does a wonderful job with my dogs. My dogs come back happy, tired from all the playing and well cared for. I will continue to use him over and over.

Schedule
My daily routine is staying home and caring for your pet. During any walks away from home, I am able to watch all other pups on multiple cameras while away. I provide daily care 7 days a week. Daily playtime,relax time and walks. I also have the ability to keep senior dogs and any other dogs with "special needs" separated from the pack.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a two bedroom apartment and safty gates are used for all doorways and entryways. I have a doggie door that leads to my balcony which has a potty area with potty grass. There are also multiple grassy areas outside the apartment. I always prep for walks, making sure collars,harnesses and leashes are a snug fit and that everything is working properly.
Pets
A typical day
I truly enjoy one-on-one time with dogs. Also many different forms of play; whether it be walking, belly rubs, ball throwing or other toys available. I love spending time with my dogs outside on nice days with walks through the neighborhood. I also understand the needs of some dogs to just relax and spend some quiet time. My routine is to try my best to accommodate you and y1our pets needs.
