Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets by ensuring they initially have their own space and crate (if crate trained). They will not be left unattended if they have separation anxiety as their comfort and well-being are my top priority. I introduce them to our home gradually and use positive reinforcement to help them feel at ease. We have a fenced backyard, perfect for dogs who love a game of fetch or enjoying the outdoor sun. We also have multiple dog beds and a couch if they want to just snuggle and relax during the day. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care.

Pet care experience

Hi there - thanks for stopping by and viewing my profile! My name is Mike and I’m originally from Australia and now live around Magnolia (love it here!). I have over a decade of experience taking care of dogs in Sydney, NYC, and now Seattle! Currently I look after my very own dog Ellie (she’s the border-x in my pics) who has helped equip me with practical skills in training and caring for a dog, and ensuring that your dog will receive attentive and affectionate care! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and enjoyment under my care is my top priority! Whether it’s playing fetch, going for a walk, or simply providing a cozy space for relaxation, I’m dedicated to making your pet feel happy and comfortable!
