Dogs are not pets they are family!!

Pet care experience

I have always had dogs growing up in life and they have always played a major role in my character development. I have two dogs currently a small 10lb miniature pincher , and my big baby Doberman 90lbs. I am the go-to friend when it come to dog sitting family members and friends dogs. Medication application and or time schedule is something I have dealt with as well. I have raised both of my dogs from puppies and they are both off leashed trained, and yard trained. However I would keep whatever dog I am sitting/ walking obviously on a leash. Will also be more than welcome to take dogs to parks or fields to get exercise. My dogs are my life and I will treat your pup like one of my own fur babies.

My dog Sprockett had the best time with Michael & Sullie (his dog!) Everyday they went to the park, played, my dog got special treats , and Sprockett even got to enjoy some music ? Michael updated me numerous times throughout the day sending me videos and pictures of everything they did to reassure me everything was great!! He was so attentive to him and my dog really loved his time there , I think when I got him back Sprockett missed Michael more than me! We’ve found our forever dog sitter ! I couldn’t be happier !

Michael was fantastic with our puppy. He went out of his way to walk and play with him every visit and even stayed longer than expected. He is thoughtful and treats your dog as if it is his own. I will definitely be using his services for future visits.

Michael is amazing! He obviously loves dogs & has incorporated walks with his own dog (after asking first) so Marco is getting great attention & made a new friend. I highly recommend Michael!

Michael is my son & we’ve always had dogs. He’s always been a loving, devoted human to them and, now that he is grown & has his own, he’s even more so. He takes exceptional care & thinks about their well being at all costs. He has a rather large dog now, but he grew up with little dogs so he’s well versed in the care & needs of pups of all sizes. He watches my dog for me when I’m out of town, just recently having had her for a month, and even though she was happy for me to finally be home, she didn’t want to leave Michael’s house. Michael loves all animals, but doggies are by far his favorite!

I live right next to Hugh MacRae park so dog walks or runs are not a probable at all. They also have a dog park so I will be more than happy to take the pups to the park to play, beach, etc. My dogs are very friendly and will not be a problem, the little one goes to my moms house from time to time because that’s where she grew up so I like for my mom to see her too. My yard is very big, however not fenced but which is ok because I have leads in the front if they want to be outside but I would be in constant supervision, as I stated above my dogs are yard trained so do not need leads, but I have it out front incase my friends come over with their dogs. I have one roommate who loves dogs especially the little guys. Love is what this house is based on and that’s what our dogs get constantly. My big baby is named Sullie, and the little one is Roxy.
