Pet care experience
I work with Dogs as my full-time job. I go to the dog park to exercise, play and socialize my dogs. They get regular potty breaks and lots of love. I live in a gated community with its own dog park and i also have access to a private fenced green space that we frequent on a regular basis. I believe that having your beloved pet stay with me is a fantastic alternative to a kenneling facility or staying at the vets office. I provide that home away from home feeling, while incorporating exercise, play and socialization into the equation which I believe helps to maintain a happy healthy pet. Please reach out to me with any questions. I’d be happy to provide additional information as needed. FYI - Overnights cover you through 10AM the following day. If you would like for your dog to stay later, you will be charged a day rate for that day.

I had to drive in for a company event at the last minute. Micheal opened up his home to my fur babies and when I got back they we still in happy spirits. Definitely will use him when I come into town again.
Michael was great! He watched our German Shepherd and Great Dane which is no small task:) they had a blast and came home happy and tired!
Michael was very professional and I can tell he has a passion for caring for animals! Brunton can be slow to warm up to people but he was immediately friendly with Michael (dogs know best). He made our stay in Dallas much more comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands.
I personally did not feel comfortable with the service I received and most certainly not for the price. I ended up coming back a day early from my work trip due to how unsettled I felt about leaving my fur baby with someone who did not seem to care at all about making either one of us feel secure. Though I think she enjoyed the daycare aspect of the sitting (what pup wouldn’t love a dog park day), I was not led to believe she was at all comfortable with the overnight aspect of it; I certainly was not. I was never shown how or where she was kept, received minimal feedback while gone to know how she was doing, and honestly did not feel respected as a customer or person. Neither Michael nor his staff introduced themselves to me or my dog upon drop off, in fact, she was dragged into their park by her collar since I was not allowed to walk her in and she was of course very nervous for her first time, and he barely listened when I went over feeding instructions, etc. The entire experience was incredibly transactional and impersonal. I took a chance on Rover due to a last minute work emergency and got what I consider to be the bare minimum for a premium price. You’d be better off going to PetSmart, for half the price, where you can at least rest assured that your boy or girl will be around true dog lovers, not just someone who makes easy money off of “watching” them. After reading what I now worry may have been false/friend reviews, I was incredibly disappointed to say the least.
