Pet care experience

Your pets deserve a vacation too 😉

I have worked with animals since I was twelve. I assisted a veterinarian of 20 years with her lab work and cared for animals. Additionally, I have consistently watched the dogs for over 15 clients over three years. During these three years, I have watched newborn puppies, elderly dogs, kittens, cats, and everything in between. Overnight care has been provided to a large majority of my clients. Additionally, I worked for Hilltop Kennels and, during that time, provided care to hundreds of dogs, multiple cats, and bunnies.

Michael was AMAZING with our cat. She is very shy and Michael was great to just let her do her own thing while making sure she was taken care of. We feel so good about being able to travel and know she is in good hands.

Michael did an amazing job watching our two dogs and cat. They all very quickly warmed up to him, especially the cat who is usually avoidant at first. Michael did a great job providing daily updates as well. We definitely plan on using Michael in the future.

I have loved having Michael watch my pups!! He is always so sweet and kind and truly gives my dogs the love they deserve!! I have a golden and a german shepherd and I can attest he’s great with them even though they can be a handful!! I totally recommend having him watch your pups too!!

Michael is amazing! He has watched both my dog- Golden Retriever- and my cat. He also has a cat himself. He loved my animals like they were his own and went above and beyond what I asked. Both my animals ADORE him. He is ALWAYS my first choice with watching my animals.
