Excited to meet your pets!

Pet care experience

Hey! I'm Mikey and I would love to host your pets! I am from Miami originally, where I grew up with at least 3 dogs at all times and worked at a local pound and dog sitting service for years, but have relocated to Asheville and live with my partner. We have a sweet cat named Sweet Chub & our dog Polenta! Both are great with dogs & people! We live in West Asheville on about half an acre with a 1/4 acre fenced-in yard and lots of love to offer. We live in a dog friendly neighborhood that is very walkable. I would love to walk/run/hike or just lounge with your pet! I am so happy to accommodate any specific and unique cases with your sweet pup! I've always considered my dogs to be apart of the family and I plan on taking care of your dogs with the same idea in mind. I am happy to administer medicine and/or work with any dogs' needs. Hablo español también!

This was our fist time using a sitter for our dog. Michael was very understanding and updated us every day about how Copper was doing. He sent me pictures also. It was a great experience for us and Copper looked like he was having fun with Michael’s dog Polenta and cat Mr. Chubb. Great yard to play too! They are a great couple and we thank Michael very much!

Michael took such great care of my dog-baby! When I came to pick him up, he actually looked like he wanted to continue hanging out with his new friends. And when I got him home, he seemed super relaxed (which he usually isn’t after being separated from me). Michael was also very friendly and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended. Thank you, Michael!

Our two dogs stayed with Michael for over a week, and I have only great things to say. He's courteous, attentive and very helpful. Initially I was worried because my older senior dog is not eating well due to an illness, but Michael was able to give her the daily medication and her new food and lots of care. He has a big backyard for the dogs to run and play. His own dog is very welcoming and my dogs got along with her right away. This was important because my dogs don't always get along with other dogs. My Cali, who never spent time with a cat, actually became friends with their cat. I would definitely recommend Michael and I plan to have him watch my dogs again.

Such a great experience! Mickey and his partner treated my dog truly like one of their own. She was loved on and played with. I got pics and plenty of updates. All around just fantastic! Highly recommend ?

Mostly if it needs any special attention, is aggressive, or has a tendency to try to run away. All of those things can be addressed & I’m sure no matter the details, we can make your pet feel comfortable and at home here.

A typical day

I love to run with Polenta & take her and other dogs out for walks & hikes. I would be more than willing to do the same if your dog is into it! We have lots of toys and a big backyard that many dogs can comfortably enjoy. We also have a popular dog park just 2 miles away that Polenta and every dog I’ve taken has loved!
