Safety, trust & environment

I use a calm and gentle approach when caring for animals in my home; however, I do sound assertive with commands just so my buddy knows the rules and therefore also knows what treats come after following them.

Non-smoking household

Information Michael G. would like to know about your pet

If you would like me to exercise your dog more than playtime/possible swim time I can take them for walks just please let me know :)

A typical day

I have a huge back yard and a pool so my fellow friends have unlimited time running around and playing with my dog Zena who is very friendly. If for any reason they don’t get along I do have a dog run on the side of the house that I can put Zena in so my friend can have some private playtime. I supply treats and love for all dogs I take care of.

We highly recommend Michael, as we greatly appreciated his flexibility and patience. We were nervous because we had never left her before. She quickly adapted to Michael and his family. Thanks Michael!🐾

Michael was a godsend during a difficult time. He took in my cat at the very last minute because of my husband being hospitalized. I don't know how I would have managed without him. Not only did he take exceptional care of my cat but also was very caring and empathetic concerning my husband. I can't even put into words how much I appreciate this young man.
