Pet care experience

A British dog lover in CT!

I've had dogs my whole life growing up in the UK. I now live in Meriden (CT) with my wife and beagle-hound rescue pup Gracie. I have a huge passion for structured training (puppies and older), intelligent play that teaches them good behavior, and exploring the outdoors to give dogs I care for a real sense of exploration and meaningful exercise.

Safety, trust & environment

Our beagle-hound rescue Gracie is only a year old and well socialized, and we have multiple toys and training equipment available - regular playtimes, training sessions and walks are a big part of her life and the day-to-day fun for any dogs we board. We have a crate set up for her in the living room so she is fully positioned within a main social area, and we have an entire room downstairs with its own crate that boarding pups have all to themselves to make their own. It's the perfect setup!

Mike is great with Riley! Takes him for great walks and sends videos of him training my little guy, couldn't recommend him more.

Michael is a dog whisperer! He has a good sense of dog behaviors and how to work with them. He is friendly and patient while still maintaining good expectations of Tucker. I wish we had found Michael sooner! He is flexible to work with and I’m confident Tucker is always in good hands with him.

Mike has been a lifesaver with my Riley. He treats my pup like his own. He helps train Riley to be a better walker and sends me videos of their time together. He’s the best, book Mike asap

My dogs love Mike! He's been walking them regularly for a few months now, and I wouldn't go with anyone else. He genuinely cares about them, and it shows. Book him now.

I have no problem with strict diets and having to administer medication, so please just give me detailed directions ahead of time, measurements, amounts, etc. and that will be 100% taken care of.
