Loving care for your furry family!

Pet care experience

I grew up with 5 labs (4 females, 1 male - all unspayed and unneutered) ranging from 45-85 lbs. I’ve walked, had play dates with, and taken care of others’ dogs for extended periods of time (even as long as 60 days), from Dachshunds all the way up to Saint Bernards. My lifetime experience with dogs is extensive, and my guarantee is your dog will have an absolute blast here while remaining safe and secure at all times. While I have a degree and background in finance, my love for our fluffy and furry companions has brought me here and it is my promise to you that your dog will be treated as if he or she were my own. Herc and I can’t wait to meet you and all our fluffy and furry friends (all ages are welcome)! If you have any questions, please send me a message and let’s talk!

I trust Michael with two pieces of my heart! Whether I am away for weekend or just need someone to come check in on my floofs while I’m delayed at work, Michael is my absolutely trusted go to. Although he’s a dog dad, he’s the best, most loving and attentive uncle to my cats. We have become friends and I’ve gone on dog walks with Michael. He is loved by not only his own dog but it seems the whole neighborhood. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet like you would, Michael is IT!! Don’t just take my word for it, he is floof (cat) approved! ❤️

Mike has been an absolutely reliable and caring dog walker. Always on time, great communication, and genuinely loves animals. My dog comes home happy and calm every time.

We've had Mike watch our dog Mila for a few hours up to a few days. Mila doesn't get along with most dogs but she loves Mike and his dog, Hercules. She's always excited to see them both when we cross paths. Mike adores dogs so I know Mila's having an amazing time when she's with him.
