Safety, trust & environment
I have 8 years of training experience, first aid, enrichments and animal communication experience that allow me to give the personalized structure your dog or cat deserves while you are away. Ensuring they have the best time. At my own home I have a fenced in yard and two well socialized dogs who would always love to have a friend join in on the fun. I have open and crated spaces to make sure they get the space they need to run, play and decompress.
Ratings and reviews
We met Michael about two years ago when we needed help training our puppy, and we couldn’t be happier that we found him. He also trained our older dog, and the results with both of them were amazing. Michael is knowledgeable, patient, gentle, and truly passionate about dogs. His positive reinforcement approach gave us confidence, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about every dog he works with. He has also dog-sat for us and taken our dogs on walks many times. He is reliable, trustworthy, and our dogs absolutely love him. If you’re looking for someone with experience, compassion, and professionalism, I highly recommend Michael. Your pets will be in great care and loving hands with him. They will be treated with kindness, respect, and positive reinforcement every step of the way. We trust him completely and are grateful for everything he has done for our dogs.
Michael is exactly the kind of person you want caring for your pets. You can immediately tell he has a lot of experience from the way he interacts with animals. His knowledge, patience, and genuine passion for dogs really stand out. Chuky and Pinxe felt comfortable with him right away, and that gave us complete peace of mind. Michael treats every pet as if they were his own, paying attention to their individual personalities and needs. He’s reliable, trustworthy, and truly loves what he does. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will provide exceptional care and make their pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Your pets paws will be in great hands!
