Pet care experience

We both know your dog is the best!

I’ve lived with and cared for dogs and other pets my entire life. I have been walking and boarding dogs professionally for nearly a decade. I’m confident in my ability to properly care for dogs of any age, size, temperament, and ability. I have experience in obedience training, grooming, and even injury rehabilitation. I’ve had a 16 year career as a licensed massage therapist and have taken several courses on canine massage as part of my continuing education requirements.

Michael took great care of my dog while we were out of town for 2 weeks. This is the second time he has taken care of her for an extended time, and I would be happy to do so again in the future. I can relax knowing that she gets lots of TLC and snuggles while we are away. Thank you!

Michael took the best care of my dog! I have never left my dog with someone unfamiliar, let alone for an entire weekend, but I was given constant updates/pictures and I could tell my dog quickly became right at home. Couldn't have been a better experience and will definitely be my go to if needing services in the future!

Michael and his family were excellent hosts to our corgi, taking her on Sniffaris and playing ball - favorite activities! Michael communicated clearly and frequently, keeping us up to date and making us feel very comfortable on our trip.

Michael and his family are amazing! They took very good care of my dog, learned my dog’s habits, and worked around our schedule. It was very positive experience and we appreciate their love to my dog!

Schedule

My schedule allows for me to not ever have to leave your dog alone for more than two hours at a time. I would be able to spend at least an hour and a half walking or playing fetch with your dog every day. I would allow your dog every freedom they have in their own house and work with you to ensure consistency. I would give them the same types of praise and set the same types of boundaries.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a great neighborhood that I love to walk. I’m in close proximity to several off leash parks to take your dog to socialize and play fetch. There’s also plenty of room inside for tug of war and belly rubs.
