Pet care experience

The Dog House

I’ll be on vacation 7/18-7/28, requests outside those dates will be accepted as soon as I can 🐾 I took care of my own shepherd princess for 15 years (passed 4/4/22) and hundreds of other fur babies over the years. I love the teeny ones, the walking giants and all the sizes in between. I am comfortable administering medications, playing fetch, setting up scavenger hunts, and giving belly rubs/back scratches to excess! At my home; There is a fenced in yard with regular access to the outdoor turf play area. If group play isn’t enough we offer walks around the neighborhood, or into the woods as well. All of our pet pals have different needs so just let me know yours and I’ll accommodate as best I can. This is my full time job, nothing will distract me from tending to the pack 🐾 We won’t have any issues accommodating most requests with enough notice. My goal is to send back a well fed, well exercised and well rested pup every time! Please reach out to schedule a meet up! 🐾

We had such a great experience boarding our dog Bear with Michael! From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable knowing Bear was in such good hands. Michael has an amazing, spacious yard that was perfect for the dogs to run, play, and enjoy themselves. It was so nice seeing how well all of the dogs played together and how happy and comfortable they were. One of my favorite parts were the videos Michael sent each day. It was so reassuring and fun to see Bear having a great time, playing with the other dogs, and enjoying his stay. Those daily updates really gave us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience and would absolutely recommend Michael to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and great with dogs. Our flight was delayed coming home and he was very flexible with the pick up time. Bear came home just as happy as we dropped him off! We will definitely be using him again! 🐾❤️

Michael is simply the best. I know my dog is well taken care of with him. Michael is very professional, passionate, and excellent with dogs. I feel confident that my dog is safe, and in good hands with Michael!

We had a wonderful experience with Michael while he watched our dogs for four days. He was incredibly knowledgeable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that he genuinely cared about our dogs and understood their needs. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups, which means everything to us. We’re so grateful for the excellent care he provided and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommend!

Schedule

Pet care is my livelihood and my passion. Having an anxious first time Pet Parent tell me I eased their mind and they’ll be back is the highest compliment. Repeat pack mates are our foundation and all pups are treated like they’re my own! 😊 🐾
