Pet care experience

Experienced dog owner

I and my wife had a lot of experience with raising and caring for dogs. We together have raised a German shepherd mix, Jack Russell terriers, and a beagle mix. We love dogs a lot and miss having them around in our house; we both have a lot of love to give them and will make sure they are well cared for and loved. I also work from home; dog will be well attended to.

Loved that Michael and Durell sent many pictures. They also left a letter with many kind and thoughtful words that let me know they cared about my dog.

Michael and Durell took such great care of Millie and Mawa while we were away on our Yellowstone trip. They kept us updated throughout the stay, shared pictures, and made sure we knew how both of them were doing. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. They were attentive, reliable, and very thoughtful with every update. We truly appreciate the care they provided and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Millie and Mawa!

Michael and Durell are swell hosts! The sent lots of photos and I can tell my Charlie was very content and well treated in their care. They were also extremely scrupulous in making absolutely sure that when they had more than one dog staying, there would be no question of compatibility. I would not hesitate to book with them again!

Lily LOVES staying with Michael and Durell and comes home bouncy and happy. Communication with them is great as well with plenty of updates throughout the day. They treat Lily as if she were their own.
